    the mass change direction as quickly. This increases the time period of the oscillation. The greater the inertia of an oscillating object, the greater the time period which therefore lowers the frequency of its oscillations. Depending on how the waves are displaced indicates how big the oscillations. The elasticity of a spring also can be quantified by a measure of a spring’s compliance. Compliance is inversely related to stiffness, which means that springs that have relatively little…

    researchers calculated the prevalence of violence and diagnostic outcomes. Second,they examined relations between violence categories and past-year diagnoses at Wave 1 and Wave 3 after controlling demographics. Third, they assessed differences in the prevalence of past-year mental health and substance use problems separately at Wave 1 and Wave 3 relative to the number of different types of violence experienced during the lifetime. (Hedtke et al., 2008, p.…

    When longitudinal studies and cross sectional studies are compared with one another, they are very similar; however, there is a major difference between the two. Cross sectional studies observe data at one single point in time, whereas longitudinal studies take place over a period of time, and have at least 2 waves of measurement. (Trochim, 2006) In other words, time is the main variable that is used in a longitudinal study, while cross sectional allows for conclusions to be drawn.…

    the same tune as when young. In like manner, the interval increases until a perfect pitch is heard. In this paper we will examine both the mathematics and music background for these ideas. We will examine the Fourier series representations of sound waves. Furthermore, we will see how they relate to harmonics and tonal color of instruments. The goal in this paper is aimed at exploring…

    by an external force. Resulting in the exchange of kinetic energy and potential energy between the mass and spring of the system. An example of interference in the mechanical vibration, which are wind (done with the plane, building bridges), ocean waves (done with the ship in the sea), and ground motion because of the earthquake (action and building structures). The general two kinds of vibration are free…

    When a lens produces an image, the size of it corresponds to the focal length of the lens. The smaller the focal length, the smaller the image and the longer the focal length the bigger the image. How bright an image may be solely depends on the amount of light collected by the objective lens. How much light can be collected corresponds to the area of the objective lens. So the bigger the objective lens, the more light can be collected. If you want to increase the light gathering power by 4, you…

    The Wave is all about types, and Robert Billings is no exception; he's the school loser, to use the novel's rather cruel terminology. Other students in the school are afraid to ruin their own image by hanging out with the “class creep”. Ben Ross thinks that part of his problem is living in the shadow of his ultra-popular brother, who used to attend Gordon High School. When the Wave finally comes along, Robert seizes the opportunity to make a change, but things get even worse. Although some might…
