Key to success To be or not to be‚ that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in nowadays. We all have dreams‚ and we all work hard to realize them. But there will always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they appear‚ what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer. We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium‚ but how many people really know how hard she worked? At that

introduced the EV-1 electric car in California and Arizona. Hundreds of the electric cars were soon on the road. Then they all disappeared. The mystery behind their disappearance is the subject of the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" Electric vehicles had many advantages over their competitors in the early 1900s. They did not have the vibration‚ smell‚ and noise associated with gasoline cars. Changing gears on gasoline cars was the most difficult part of driving‚ while electric vehicles did not

College Success What does it mean to be successful? Many people look at the word success from different views. The dictionary defines success in two ways: the accomplishment of one’s goals and then the attainment of wealth or position. I believe you can be successful in two ways as well: you can be successful in your career and you can be successful by doing what makes you happy and living a fulfilling life to your standards. You don’t have to have a huge mansion on top of a private hill looking

Magnetic effect of electric current is one of the major effects of electric current in use‚ without the applications of which we cannot have motors in the existing world. A current carrying conductor creates a magnetic field around it‚ which can be comprehended by using magnetic lines of force or magnetic field lines. The nature of the magnetic field lines around a straight current carrying conductor is concentric circles with centre at the axis of the conductor. The direction of the magnetic field

Who Killed the Electric Car? Video Discussion Questions Summary: It begins with a solemn funeral�for a car. By the end of Chris Paine’s lively and informative documentary‚ the idea doesn’t seem quite so strange. As narrator Martin Sheen notes‚ "They were quiet and fast‚ produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline." Paine proceeds to show how this unique vehicle came into being and why General Motors ended up reclaiming its once-prized creation less than a decade later. He begins 100 years ago

THE RELATIONSHIP OF ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY AND ITS DISTANCE FROM THE CHARGED OPOINT PHYS-232 JIANSONG HE GROUP: Abstract This experiment was performed to find the electric field strength from different distance to the charged point. The field strength was determined statically‚ by measuring its electrical potential when subjected to loading‚ and dynamically‚ by measuring the electrical potential at different location on the conductive paper. The electrical potential was measured from three

production side emissions of electric cars with this graph. Here we see the higher amount of emissions per electric car‚ although this can naturally be compensated during the lower emissions during the life-cycle of this car. To note that in case the battery has to be replaced during the life-time of the vehicle‚ the amount will increase to 12‚5t of CO2 per car‚ so more than the double of a gasoline car. 2.2 Source of energy. Here we get to one of the biggest problems of electrics cars: the way we charge
