2) Predikati -> na predavanjima nismo radili onakav zadatak kao to e biti

u kolokviju (razvrstavanje predikata u tablice)
3) Nepravilna mnoina
Handout 3 2
axis -> axes, phenomenon -> phenomena, vortex -> vortices, radius ->
radii
Vortices are a major component of turbulent flow.
If a robot has a three degrees of freedom, it can move in three axes.
If you place two radii end-to-end in a circle, you will have the same length
as one diameter.

A number of experimental investigations on thermal phenomena have

been reported.
4) Present simple active/passiv
Handout 5, task 3: Fill in the corresponding tense of the verbs given in
brackets.
Static electricity enables a photocopier to produce almost instant copies of
documents. At the heart of the machine is a metal drum which is given a
negative charge at the beginning of the copying cycle. The optical system then
projects an image of the document on the drum. The electric charge
disappears where light strikes the metal surface, so only dark parts of the
image remain charged. Positively charged particles of toner powder are applied
then to the drum. The charged parts of the drum attract the dark powder, which
is transferred to a piece of paper. A heater seals the powder to the paper, and
a warm copy of the document emerges from the photocopier.
