PHY 156 4870 Lab Report #6: RC Circuits October 14th‚ 2011 Objectives: The purpose of this lab is to observe the charge and discharge curves of a capacitor and determine its time constant. The capacitor is observed with respect to the voltage traveling through the capacitor. Principles: One of the main principles of this experiment is defined by V = VB [1 – exp (-t/RC)] for a charging capacitor and furthermore‚ τ is defined by resistance multiplied by capacitance(R * C). Thus

Measuring of Lung Capacity Introduction This lab report is over the functions of the lungs and a better understanding of how the respiratory function happens within your body. You will be measuring the amount of air you breathe in and out. This function is called tidal volume‚ which is about 500 cc of air. Second portion of the testing procedure will be determining the amount of vital capacity or maximum amount your lungs can expel. You will be working in pairs with a lab partner and take turns recording

Social Carrying Capacity The use of parks and protected areas by visitors creates concern about appropriate levels of use because there are limits that define how much pressure from outside forces an ecosystem can endure before it experiences degradation‚ and there are thresholds that define visitor experiences. When researchers‚ park authorities‚ and policy makers are trying to determine appropriate usage levels of specific areas‚ they frequently rely on the rationale of carrying capacity‚ including

We’ve analyzed our potential suppliers for each gauge‚ taking into account their capacity‚ cost of production for each plant‚ and transportation costs (The model and our objective function can be found in the appendix.) Our goal was to allocate spinning production (at Filatoi Riuniti and six local mills) in a manner that would minimize overall costs‚ while meeting the demand and operating within the capacity constraint of each plant. Given the output of our optimization model‚ we should be outsourcing
