Static Friction INTRODUCTION When an object is placed on a surface it will remain static unless the resolved component of the force due to gravity acting parallel to the surface exceeds the friction force associated with the static coefficient of friction between surfaces by placing various objects on a surface and tilting the surface until the object begins to slip. By measuring the angle at which the object begins to slip‚ it is then possible to calculate the coefficient of friction between

Adam Smith developed the theory of capitalism. He suggested that capitalism was like an invisible hand that guided the economy‚ meaning that capitalism is the natural way for an economy to work. Basically‚ if a good or service is in demand you can gain an economic profit by supplying that good. Adam’s Smith’s impact on economics is that he argued for competition in the market place and that free competition would create lower prices as well as economic growth and higher employee wages. He created

SURFACE AREA ON AIR FRICTION Design Background Information: Air resistance‚ also called drag‚ is the forces that are in opposition to the relative motion of an object through the air. Drag forces act opposite to the oncoming flow velocity. Size and shape are the two factors that affect air resistance. Air resistance depends on the surface area‚ so‚ as the surface area increases‚ the air resistance increases. When an object is falling‚ air resistance acts to push it back up. This is only true for

WHY DID EQUITY DEVELOP? HOW DID THE CHANCELLOR’S JURISDICTION OPERATE? I. INTRODUCTION Justice is the `quality of being just; righteousness‚ equitableness‚ or moral rightness’.1 The application of rigid rules can result in a judgement‚ however‚ not justice. The civil law is based on the principle Dura Lex Sed Lex2; this principle holds that the law is harsh‚ but is the law. Therefore‚ a judge can only apply what is written in the law. On the other hand‚ the common law system is based not

WHY IS FINANCIAL LEVERAGE A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD Financial leverage means acquiring assets using funds provided by creditors and preferred stockholders to improve Return on Equity (ROE) of a company rather than utilizing owners’ equity. If a company can borrow money at a rate lower than the return on assets or ROI then the owners’ equity position will be improved. This occurs because less of the equity is required to purchase the assets. It is a double-edged sword and may be positive or negative.

Adam Smith When Adam Smith wrote his famous 1776 treatise‚ he called it An Inquiry into Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Some have taken this as indicating that he was concerned primarily with economic growth. In this way‚ Smith moved away from the Cantillon-Physiocratic system which concentrated on "natural equilibrium" of circular flows‚ and brought back into economics what had been the Mercantilists’ pet concern. Smith posited a supply-side driven model of growth. Succinctly we
