Film: The wire (TV series 2002-2008) The series features the abuse of narcotics from a law enforcer’s‚ abuser’s and a drug dealer’s perspective. Rational choice theory This theory settles on a practical belief that man is an actor who reasons contemplates on benefits‚ means‚ costs and ends then makes a rational choice. Man has a sense comprehensible rationale of free will‚ where he evaluates the risks and benefits for committing a crime. From the excerpts from the film (season1)‚ we see a night

Wire A wire is a single‚ usually cylindrical‚ flexible strand or rod of metal. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads or electricity and telecommunications signals. Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Standard sizes are determined by various wire gauges. The term wire is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands‚ as in ’multistranded wire’‚ which is more correctly termed a wire rope in mechanics‚ or a cable in electricity. Although

In this photo‚ including myself‚ there are five people. I am on the far left‚ and one of the four persons on the inside of a barbed wire gate located at a motel about thirty miles south from Tegucigalpa. I carried a large bottle of water and wore an aged Redskins’ football t-shirt. These four people on the inside of the gate are in their night wear and etc. The one person behind the gate is wearing semi presentable clothes (a tucked in blue collared shirt‚ a buckled white pair of cargo shorts and

Introduction The resistance of a wire depends on certain factors. Some of these variables are listed below: Length of wire Diameter or thickness of wire Temperature at which wire is kept The material of which wire is made out of. The potential difference or voltage. Humidity Cross sectional area. Voltage across circuit All these factors will have to be kept constant except the diameter of the wire whilst doing the experiment to ensure that the investigation is

GCSE Physics Coursework - Resistance of a Wire Coursework Resistance of a Wire Task To investigate how the resistance of a wire is affected by the length of the wire. Theory What is resistance? Electricity is conducted through a conductor‚ in this case wire‚ by means of free electrons. The number of free electrons depends on the material and more free electrons means a better conductor‚ i.e. it has less resistance. For example‚ gold has more free electrons than

My objective in this experiment is to investigate one of the factors that affect the resistance of a piece of wire. The factor I chose was length. Factors: There our four different things that affect the resistance of a wire: 1. The Length because the wire is thinner than the rest of the wires the electrons wood have more trouble going through for if the wire had the same width there would
