Population increase can be accredited to the many types of workers who flooded to Odessa from all across Texas and the United States in the height of drilling during the late 1940’s. Migrations of oil field workers were produced by frequent shifts in the demand for petroleum. More specifically, an oil boom is defined by these shifts and the three different types of workers who would arrive on an oil drilling site during different times and would contributed in different ways to the project. The…

unless they prefer otherwise, age, within the range of 11 years and 75 years old, and lastly, their handedness. Within the lab, information was presented to both the right and left visual field of the participant to test the language abilities of the two hemispheres of the brain, considering that visual fields become lateralized. Participants would look at a red dot in the middle of a black screen and were informed that after the dot flashed 3 times, a string of letters would appear on either…

essay multiple physics concepts and equations will be discussed. Motor Effect: To summarise the motor effect it is the idea that the force caused by current flowing through a wire and causing a magnetic field around it. When this created magnetic field interacts with a magnetic field from a fixed magnet, it causes a force which moves the wire in relation to the right hand…

Essentially, people perpetually desire more - more space and more potential. Due to technological advancements, consumers are demanding higher quality electronics with larger capacities. Consequently, the technology of hard drives and computer memory software are vastly improving and have been introduced into society. The first hard drive was created in 1956 and was the size of two refrigerators. Now, in 2016, hard drives can be as small as 1 inch. These devices serve as the ‘brain’ or ‘memory…

variables were the amount of magnets (length of magnet) and the amount of shakes. This was done to help us discover if there was a relation between the amount of magnets, and the induced current produced. It was to investigate if a greater magnetic field and increased amount shakes would improve the shake torches ability to light the LED faster by producing more voltage. This was what was hypothesised; from the collected data it is fair to say there is somewhat a relation between the length of…
