Measuring inequality: Using the Lorenz Curve and Gini Coefficient 1. Introduction Almost thirty years ago‚ the author of this brief attended a lecture addressing the economics of inequality. At the start‚ the class was invited to imagine the implications of individual wealth being reflected in our personal height. Assume that by government decree‚ everyone has to march past a fixed point over the period of one hour‚ starting with the smallest people and ending with the largest. The parade

Experiment 6: Conditions for Equilibrium Laboratory Report Kristine Bautista‚ Kevin Benin‚ Raisha Buan‚ Gabrielle Bugna Depertment of Math and Physics College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas Espana‚ Manila Philippines Abstract The aim of this experiment is to determine the conditions of equilibrium‚ to locate the centre of gravity‚ and to demonstrate rotational equilibrium. The experiment was performed by doing a series of activities such as the use of a force table‚ strings

Space exploration and the space program in general‚ have been an important part of our past successes as a country. Today‚ as our government looks at budget reduction and cost cutting measures‚ the space program is being scrutinized more than ever. Should the space program be cut or should it be reinvented? To fully understand why the space program is so controversial‚ one must first understand where the space program began. Shortly after the end of World War II (1939-45)‚ the U.S. and the

wavelengths) of these radiations can tell us a lot about the molecule‚ atom‚ and nucleus under study. Since diffraction-grating spectrometers and other types of radiation spectrometers are widely used in all sciences you should be familiar with the basic physics of such device What does diffraction look like? When light diffracts off of the edge of an object‚ it creates a pattern of light referred to as a diffraction pattern. If a monochromatic light source‚ such as a laser‚ is used to observe diffraction

Measuring Crime CJA/204 October 9‚ 2013 Richard Pacheco Measuring Crime There are two different instruments used in reporting crime. There are also major crimes reporting program used in the United States. These major crime reporting programs do have a purpose and does give statistical information on crime in the United States. There are a difference between crime rates‚ arrest rates‚ clearance rates‚ and recidivism rates. The information reported about crime rates can be misleading and give

Because the work is directly proportional to the displacement given a constant force while power is indirectly proportional to work. Therefore we can conclude that power is also directly proportional

Free Fall Rachel Shea Physics 131 Lab‚ QL Hasbrouck 210 Sept. 21‚ 2014 Abstract This experiment measures the study of motion by observing the force of gravity acting solely upon an object‚ and also measures reaction time. If an object is in free fall‚ the only force acting upon it is gravity. The object used in this experiment was a golf ball that provided some acceleration when dropped. A sensor positioned underneath a table recorded the golf ball’s pattern of motion‚ when dropped. The main

the materials provided we decided that the variables that would have effect on the period are the length of the string‚ the angle the ball was released‚ and the size of the ball‚ which was either the wooden ball or the steel ball. Since we were measuring the length of the string vs. the mean time of each swing of the pendulum‚ we kept our angle consistent at around 30 degrees‚ and did two separate experiments: one with wooden ball and one with the steel ball. To prove that the angle the ball is
