Components of a Computer System A computer system consists of both hardware and information stored on hardware. Information stored on computer hardware is often called software. The hardware components of a computer system are the electronic and mechanical parts. The software components of a computer system are the data and the computer programs. The major hardware components of a computer system are: Input devices: Keyboard‚ mouse‚ scanner‚ digital camera and joystick. Peripheral device used

Experiment 9- Thin Lenses Introduction Experiment 9 introduced us to the concept of thin lenses. We were asked to determine the focal lengths of two converging lenses and one diverging lens. The following equations were used to calculate the focal lengths: 1/p + 1/q = 1/f where p is equal to the distance of the object from the lens and q is equal to the image length from the lens‚ and f is the focal point and 1/converging F+ 1/diverging F = 1/combined. The focal point is positive for converging

Separating The Components of “Panacetin” Observations Most natural products and many commercial preparations are mixtures containing a number of different substances. To obtain a pure compound from such a mixture‚ you must separate the desired compound from the other components of the mixture by taking advantage of differences in their physical and chemical properties. Acidic or basic substances are often converted to water-soluble salts‚ which can then be separated from the water-insoluble

The book Into Thin Air is a documented disaster by climber Jon Krakauer. Published in 1997‚ Jon wrote about the devastating summit attempt by several different groups. This climb was stopped by a disastrous storm above the death zone killing eight people‚ including Rob Hall. Rob Hall was Jons respectable leader and a guide who was a very experienced climber bringing 39 climbers to the summit between 1990 to 1995. He was once again trying to keep his business booming by bringing more and more climbers

Abstract: One is to determine the gap energy of cadmium sulfide semiconductor thin film using the equation: Eg = h.c/ is the signal of the long wavelength limit of the absorption peaks (measured in the lab). The reaction between cadmium sulfide and NH3‚ in the presents of thiourea yield a of 579(nm). The % error of the reaction is 1.24%. Introduction: There are 3 types of metals for electricity conducting: metallic conductor‚ semiconductor‚ and superconductor. Metallic conductors

Friends: Through Thick and Thin Friendship is something treasured among many‚ but friends often go through seasons of ups and downs during their friendships. It seems that no matter what happens though‚ they are able to work together to overcome any obstacles that come their way‚ and the bond between them is strengthened. The Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling is able to depict this phenomenon well with three of the main characters‚ Harry‚ Ron‚ and Hermione. In the course of Harry‚ Ron

Component Technologies‚ Inc 1) Prepare the manufacturing staff’s calculations for the three alternatives (please refer to the attachments): a) In the first set of calculations‚ the staff used a discount rate of 20%‚ a five-year time horizon‚ and ignored taxes and terminal value. What is the relative attractiveness of these three alternatives? During the period of 5 years (from 1994 to 1998)‚ if the discount rate is 20%‚ Waltham plant is the only one that has a positive amount in NPV. The
