3 Ways To Boost Furnace Effectiveness When the warm air inside your house leaks out quickly, your furnace will have to work harder than normal to keep your home warm. Having walls, ceilings, and floors that are properly insulated will go a long way with keeping the hot air in, but they are not enough. Windows are one area where air tends to leak out the most, and if you ignore them, your furnace won’t be operating at optimal efficiency. Double-Pane Windows If your home is older and still has…

A persons mind is unique. Every person has his or her own way of thinking and learning. Not to mention, people come from different origins, which leads to some people having a higher vocabulary. Why is all this important in physics? In the article, “Talking to Learn Physics and Learning to Talk Physics” it states, “the development of physics discourse and conceptual understanding are different processes that depend upon one another for successful physics learning (Harlow, Otero 1).” This article…

Not only is this lazy lifestyle bad for your health and mental status, but since it also heavily involves the use of electronic devices its a big waste of energy. A simple solution to this is to schedule time to engage in outdoor activities, such as hiking, biking, or even just taking a walk in the park. The earths future is uncertain, that much is true. Much of what is said about climate change, global…

Figure 21: Dependence of the penetration depth on dwell times for different indentation peak loads Figure 22: Dependence of the penetration depth on dwell time for different indentation peak loads in ln-ln plot 5.4 HV vs. penetration depth Figure 23 shows the dependence of the Vickers hardness on the indenter penetration depth for 100mN to 1000mN and 10 s to 60 s dwelling time. The highest hardness value is 15.6GPa. As the indenter penetration depth increases, the hardness value decreases.…

propagation of energy via waves, using applied conservation of energy principles. Before this class, I have learned about the law of conservation of energy in PHYS221 with Micheal Greiner. We learned that energy is always conserved and the initial energy of the system should be the same as the final energy of the system. In other words the total energy of an isolated system constant if it is non dissipative meaning there are no energy loss. We did not relate this conservation of energy law with…

Game Wardens seems to be an interesting job to have. There responsibilities and duties require them to understand and regulate state and federal wildlife codes and laws. And they need to make sure they are enforcing them properly. Game Wardens main priority is just like any other law enforcement officer, and that is to keep everyone safe, including their self. They are responsible for carrying out search warrants and properly taking action when needed. Many game wardens do not like to admit they…

Purpose The purpose of this observation is to prove if the concept of conservation is different for age groups of children described in the textbook Infants and Children by Laura Berk. Background Information I am observing my subject in the cognitive domain and will be focusing on conservation. The theorist that studied conservation is named Piaget. Piaget is a theorist that studies children development. Piaget believed that children are explores and needs to explore their…

The Great Smoky Mountains, belonged to the Paleo Indians, which then was used by loggers and Civilian Conservation Corps in the year of 1800. The park’s great stretches even farther back, thus, having more valuation to the people now who own the park. A projectile point has been found was estimated to be 9,000 years old. The living, and non-living things that…

potential energy changing to kinetic energy. Potential energy can come in many forms. For example, chemical energy can be stored and later converted into heat or electricity.…

Imagine being trapped in a cage and having to live based on someone else’s schedule. Well that is zoo animals feel every single day. Animal captivity has been around for hundreds of years. Animals were held as creatures of worship and used for gladiatorial contests. It wasn’t until the 1800s that public zoos became more common. As they became more common the focus on educational purposes became less and the animals began being treated abusively and being mishandled. Zoos should be shut down.…
