The Fall of Enron The History Enron began as a pipeline company in Houston in 1985. It profited by promising to deliver so many cubic feet to a particular utility or business on a particular day at a market price. That change with the deregulation of electrical power markets‚ a change due in part to lobbying from senior Enron officials. Under the direction of former Chairman Kenneth L. Lay‚ Enron expanded into an energy broker‚ trading electricity and other commodities. The Business of Enron

LAB WRITE- UP NAME: MANOUCHEKA FIDEL DATE: 9/19/14 TITLE: BACK AND FOURTH MOTION PURPOSE (Introduction): To qualitatively analyze the motion of objects that move back and forth. Then analyze and interpret back and forth motion in kinematics graphs. Use kinematic graphs to catalog objects that exhibit similar motion. PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS: Finding the average velocity Do any of the four objects listed above move in similar ways? If so

was the question of whether or not we have free will. I myself was once a believer of people having free will and doing what I want was my choice and my choice alone. However‚ after careful consideration and lectures I have been reversed in how I believe in free will. Is there any free will though? Many people would say yes there is and of course there are some who believe that free will is a fallacy and not to be believed. Whether or not there is free will is yet to be determined but what we

was made into 3D movie this year------the 100 anniversary of Titanic being sunk. The movie Titanic is close to the real accident happened on April 14th‚ 1912 and there’s a lot of physics involved in the movie. We have to admit that James Cameron really spent plenty of time on the causation of the accident. ① physics side note: Pressure (√) At the beginning of the movie‚ there is a group of people who want to find the invaluable “Heart of the Ocean”. They used submarine to get 3821 meters under

Experiment-5 Thermal physics is the combined study of thermodynamics‚ statistical mechanics‚ and kinetic theory. This practical is done to measure the temperature drop of water over a period of time (30 minutes). Research question- What is the rate of temperature change over a period of 30 minutes? Independent variable- time Dependent variable- the temperature of water Controlled variables- the amount of water in the calorimeter - The stop watch

April 29‚ 2014 Abstract The objective project was to use our knowledge of physic properties to create a working car that was powered by a mouse trap. I found that the lighter the car was and the more traction the car had‚ the further it travelled. Introduction The purpose of this project was to create a car that is powered by a mouse trap. We were to use our knowledge of physics laws to make the best car we can. I knew from Newton’s Law‚ F=ma‚ that if my car had a lower

Every Sunday afternoon in the fall‚ all across America‚ televisions‚ radios‚ and Internet broadcasts are tuned to the big football games. The sport of football has grown in popularity since the day it was invented‚ but not all of the views are good. The sport of football is viewed by many as a cruel and primitive sport‚ however every aspect within the sport of football is based in the field of physics. To begin to understand the complexity that is the game of football one can start by looking

The Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would

Chapter 19 Nuclear Energy 19.1 Energy in your life Almost everything around us uses electricity and in order to power these devices‚ we must generate it. To create electrical energy‚ we must create thermal energy. Several techniques include using coal‚ natural gas‚ or nuclear thermal to create heat. Once heat is created‚ it is used to vaporize water and use the steam to propel a piston which turns an electric generator. Alternative energy sources include wind‚ solar‚ and micro hydro. 19.2 Nuclear

Height of Ball Drop v/s The Depth of the Crater | By Tejas Shah‚ IBDP Year 1 | | | | | | | * Aim- To find the relationship between the depth of crater and the height from which it is dropped. * Research Question- Does the height from where the ball is released affect the depth of the crater. * Hypothesis- If we increase the height of the drop of the ball; the depth of the crater would increase. This is because as there is loss in potential energy subsequently there
