    showed the history of mass incarceration‚ especially Black criminalization. She got the title from the 13th amendment from the Constitution that freed the slaves and stopped servitude except for those who committed criminal offenses. She explained how America has used this loophole in order to exploit it and jail as many people as they could. After the Civil War there was a huge shortage of labor so in order to basically get that free labor (slavery) back‚ they went on arresting mass amounts of Black

    Molar Mass of a Volatile Liquid There are several ways to find the molar mass of a substance. One way‚ if the substance is a gas‚ is to use the Ideal Gas Equation to find molar mass. The standard equation reads PV=nRT where “n” is the number of moles present‚ “P” is the pressure (which is obtained by reading the barometric pressure of the room with the class barometer)‚ “V” is the volume of the gas‚ “R” is the universal constant‚ and “T” is the temperature of the gas. The experiment’s objective

    radius: ((2.2)^2)/(2*0.5*(2.2^2)*(3+(.5*15))/(3*9.8))/0.25 Sphere on Incline: A solid sphere of uniform density starts from rest and rolls without slipping a distance of d = 3.7 m down a θ = 33° incline. The sphere has a mass M = 4.2 kg and a radius R = 0.28 m. For this one‚ you have to do part © first… and don’t forget that ur working with a sphere‚ so u gotta look up the moment of inertia (I) in order to get the correct answer… a) Of the total kinetic energy

    India Arulprasath.kvit01@gmail.com; Abstract This paper deals with the discussion of mass and energy in light. Light consist of very less amount of mass that it could not be measured. This paper is based on the concept that when the mass of light is increased it can move the objects. So‚ the light with increased mass can be used in many applications in practical life such as producing electricity. Increase of mass in light‚ leads to much more attraction in the academic sphere. It is necessary to take

    experiments that are verified and considered very high forms of scientific intelligence. The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system cannot be created or destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction; rather conserved. In an easier explanation‚ everything you start with‚ you must end with. Although‚ the substance can look or be shaped differently from the original. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains. An example of this is a burned piece of wood. After the
