Introduction Madagascar is a breath-taking tropical island found in the Indian Ocean. It is known for its pristine beaches and stunning views along side a fusion different cultures. With its main influences being Asian and African culture, Malagasy culture has developed its own, unique blend of flavors, ideas, and practices. For instance, fady is used to describe something that is taboo, and an example of this would be foreigner visiting ancestral grave sites. There are many customs and…
its weight and its normal force that keeps the block from freefalling. However, normal force is perpendicular to the direction of the block’s displacement resulting on work done by the normal force because cos (90) is zero. Therefore, finding the total energy of the system, there is only initial potential energy due to the block’s position relative to the ground in vertical direction. According to Zavala & Barniol, (2013), a study was conducted at a private Mexican university, which tested 422…
several reasons. A system which can accommodate large inter-area transfers is generally more robust and flexible than a system with limited ability to accommodate inter-area transfers. Thus power transfer capability can be used as a rough indicator of relative system…
that both the proximity and mass of two relative objects increases the attraction present within them. "The Ocean's Tides Explained” article states that on Earth’s axis, the level of the ocean is centered by the centrifugal force pulling outward while gravity pulls inward. Since both forces are acting in different directions on the same object, it levels off. However, when the Moon’s gravitational force is added into the equation, the water facing the direction of the…
functional groups which can be separated using acid-base reactions are as follows: The interaction of stronger acids and bases produce weaker conjugated acids and bases. The reaction may fully proceed in a forward direction depending on the relative acidity and basicity of both the reactants and the products (Karty, 2014). To measure the strength of an acid, the dissociated constant, Ka, is used. The Ka, value is measured based on how easily the acid donates a hydrogen ion…
3.5 Definition of the Reward Function The term “reward” generally refers to the measurable merit of an activated action. The purpose of the reward function is to measure the effectiveness of a classifier in stabilizing the bicycle, i.e. bringing the bicycle back to its upright position from a near fall position. The problem, however, is that in our case the reward of an activated action could not be immediately calculated, as the calculation requires knowledge of the system’s response which…
but also a call for awareness about the direction that the Internet has been heading. The protection of its 3.2 billion users, 40 % of the global population (and growing) is a global issue and needs immediate attention. The purpose of the Internet is to connect people, businesses and institutions. The Internet is a powerful communication tool that can permit access to information and distribute power, but if not regulated will march into the opposite direction, or even worst,…
In a Non Family Business, recognizing and resolving conflict can sometimes be easier, but also could potentially be more difficult than resolving conflict in a Family Business. For example, in a family business, the family members sometimes live with each other or have at least a small idea of what that person is going through in their personal life. As with Non Family Business, most employees are there for the job and may have a few acquaintances, but sometimes lack the understanding that…
receiving a Nobel Prize for his work in the photoelectric effect, arguably his greatest development was the area of relativity. The basis of the theory of relativity is that the speed of light is the same for all observers whether they are in motion relative to light sources and that nothing could move at speeds faster than the speed of light. Special relativity then differs to general relativity as it…
Assessment Directions: Choose the correct answer from the choices below. 1. The mass of an atom expressed relative to the mass of? A. Carbon-6 C. Carbon-12 B. Carbon-10 D. Carbon 2. It is defined as the number of atoms of that element equal to 12.0 grams of an isotope of Carbon. A. Molar Mass C. Particles B. Stoichiometry D. Mole 3. The first step in every Stoichiometry Problems is to? A. Balance the equation C. Solve the mass of the…
