RULES OF MIXTURES FOR ELASTIC PROPERTIES The paper is about the rules of mixtures which are used to express the dependencies of the physical properties and mechanical properties which depend on type‚ form‚ quality and arrangement of its constituents‚ but they are based on various assumptions so one should with caution‚ especially if they are used anything more than preliminary design. The paper mainly concentrates on expressions for elastic properties which are as follows: Unidirectional Ply-

There is certain order in the world. The planets move in their orbit around the sun. The disasters which occur naturally are known as natural disasters. There are infinite natural disasters. Some of them are landslides‚ floods and volcanic eruptions. By taking the example of planets orbiting around the sun‚ the question rises that how do these devastating disasters occur? Floods occur in those areas which are closer to seas. Due to heavy rain‚ the sea water increases and spills out over the area

SEPERATION OF A MIXTURE Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find out how components of a mixture can be separated and analyzed. Procedure: The procedure for this lab report is as follows: 1. Mixture is taken‚ and has to be measured in order to meet the requirements of 2-3g. 2. The mass of the tray is measured and then the scale is zeroed out and the mixture is added to find out the mass of the original mixture. 3. Next‚ find the mass of the 250mL beaker‚ zero out the scale

Something that I am the most proud of is when I made my fist cosplay. All my friends from high school are into cosplay; some of them even won awards for it! I had thought I was too unskilled to join in‚ and procrastinated dabbling in the art. However‚ this Halloween I finally decided to try it out by dressing up as Professor Layton (from the Professor Layton video game series). The most important aspect of the Professor was his signature top hat‚ which I had to figure out how to replicate. I consulted

…………………………………………………………………………..…………….8 Natural disasters introduction A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g.‚ flood‚ tornado‚ hurricane‚ volcanic eruption‚ earthquake‚ heatwave‚ or landslide). It leads to financial‚ environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the vulnerability of the affected population to resist the hazard‚ also called their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability." A natural hazard will hence

O’Brien’s Honors Science class we conducted two experiments the Mixed Substances Lab and the Investigating Mixtures Lab. The objective of the Investigating Mixtures Lab was “To observe that not all liquids behave the same way when mixed with other liquids”. Before we started the lab we we each created a hypothesis mine was “If the water and vegetable oil are mixed and the two combine and make a mixture‚ then the vegetable oil will float and the water will sink”. This is the important information which

purpose of this separations lab was to see what the most efficient way is to separate a dry mixture using all kinds of materials. The mixture was of salt‚ sand‚ iron filings‚ and bird seed. Results: The results of mass recovered were very different from what the actual mass was. The iron filings were about the same besides recovering 0.1 extra gram. For the bird seed‚ there was 0.7 grams more collected from the original mass that is 2.0 grams. The sand had 2.5 grams recovered‚ where the original
