Isotopes‚ sub-atomic particles and relative atomic mass Sub-atomic particles A subatomic particle is a particle smaller than an atom: it may be elementary or composite. In 1905‚ Albert Einstein demonstrated the physical reality of the photons‚ hypothesized by Max Planck in 1900‚ in order to solve the problem of black body radiation in thermodynamics. In 1874‚ G. Johnstone Stoney postulated a minimum unit of electrical charge‚ for which he suggested the name electron in 1891. In 1897‚ J. J. Thomson confirmed

Jessica Holland - Textiles - Fibres What must happen to the fibres before they are used to make Fabrics? Fibres are thin and small and cannot be made into afabric directly. So they are first converted into yarns which are longer‚ thicker and stronger. We then use these yarns to make fabrics. The process of making yarns from fibres is called spinning. Here the fibres are not only twisted but also pulled out or drawn. The spinning process helps to hold the fibres together and makes

13 References: 14 BACKGROUND The improvement of service delivery speed processes plays a key role in the overall competitiveness of modern service organizations. For example‚ Roth and Jackson (1995) provide clear evidence that process capability and execution are major drivers of performance due to their impact on customer satisfaction and service quality. Traditional efficiency studies measure the service delivery speed of a firm by its ability to transform inputs to outputs. However‚ the

There is a great deal of evidence to support that evolution did indeed happen. Evolution is the changes in a population over time‚ it’s explained through descent with modification and natural selection. The findings from earlier thinkers all back this evidence up. Charles Darwin used evidence he found from research and studying the work of other scientists who studied fossils to support his claim that modern organisms are the descendants of ancestral species that were different from those of today

It was just last summer that Charlotte Perkins made the hardest decision of her life as she and her husband Jim were caught in the vise of the housing bust. Wanting to downsize their lives as they headed toward retirement‚ they bought a new house in Mesa‚ Arizona‚ before they sold the old one‚ also in Mesa. Their previous home had been appraised at nearly $400‚000 at the height of the market‚ but as the housing crisis ravaged Arizona‚ they were told they’d be lucky to get $200‚000 for it. They

cubes in their hands. What happens to an ice cube that we hold? What do we feel? After a while‚ our hands will feel cold as the ice cubes start to melt. This is due to the transfer of energy from our hands to the ice and the temperature difference between the two objects. The energy we are familiar with is called heat while temperature is the measure of a degree of heat or coldness of an object. In everyday life‚ heat or cold is commonly used to explain the degree of temperature of an object. An object

17th‚ October 2010 Margarita SA: VOL RATIO AND AGAR BLOCKS Conclusion: For this experiment the agar jelly had to be cut in to five different block sizes‚ after that has been done we had to add all five blocks in to the test tube with the acid and time to see how long it would take for the colour to change from a pinky purple to clear. From this experiment I learnt that the bigger the size of the jelly is the

The Physics of Star Trek – Warp Speed “Engage.” One simple command that triggers an entire series of complex reactions deep in the core and within the warp nacelles of the Starship Enterprise. Engage implied not only a command to fly off into the unknown reaches of space‚ but also a revolution of thinking that combined fundamental physics with the innovative ideas of the future. Warp technology‚ as envisioned by the writers of Star Trek‚ can be linked to today’s world of physics: Newton’s third
