What happens when the irresistible force meets the immovable object? One of the more convincing solutions has been proposed by Gary V. Smith of Aston University. He explained it as so: “The initial step to answering the superficially paradoxical question of “What would happen if an unstoppable force met an immovable object?” is establishing what is meant by ’immovable’. In order for something to move‚ its position must be measured relative to something else that is not moving. The universe

Jaw Crushers are designed to impact on a rock particle placed between a fixed and a moving plate (jaw). The faces of the plates are made of hardened steel. Both plates could be flat or the fixed plate flat and the moving plate convex. The surfaces of both plates could be plain or corrugated. The moving plate applies the force of impact on the particles held against the stationary plate. Both plates are bolted on to a heavy block. The moving plate is pivoted at the top end (Blate crusher) or at the

Will the LHC Destroy the World? The LHC will allow scientists to observe particle collisions at an energy level far higher than any previous experiment. Some people worry that such powerful reactions could cause serious trouble for the Earth. In fact‚ a few people are so concerned that they filed a lawsuit against CERN in an attempt to delay the LHC’s activation. In March 2008‚ former nuclear safety officer Walter Wagner and Luis Sancho spearheaded a lawsuit filed in Hawaii’s U.S. District Court

Satellites=free fall. Ionizing radiation=energy in the form of waves or paricle Beta radiation-just an electron‚ wont go through skin but really bad inside you alpha- he2+ nucleus-wont go through skin but bad once inside. Comes from radioactive particles like lead 210 or iodine. gamma- high energy photon‚ may go through you. neutrineos-noninteracting‚ come from fusion‚ cosmic rays-very powerful. Come from supernovas. Moves at speed of light moderator-slows neutrons b/c they are absorbed better

Calculations- 1. Main Show Tank Calculation: The main show tanks radius is 70 feet. Based on that the tank is a sphere-shaped and we have to find the volume‚ I used the formula for the sphere volume which is: V= 4/3(3.14 x r^3) V= 4/3(3.14 x 70^3) V= 4/3(1‚077‚020) V= 1‚436‚026.66666... V= 1‚436‚027 But I have to find the volume of the quarter sphere-shaped‚ so: V= 1/4 x 1‚436‚027 V= 359‚007 The volume of the quarter-shaped tank is 359‚007 cubic feet Holding Tank Calculations- 2.

a specific charge. Up quarks carry a positive two thirds charge (+2/3). Down quarks carry a negative one third charge (-1/3). Electrons carries a ‘whole’ negative charge (-1). Depending on how these three quarks are arranged‚ you can arrive at a particle with no charge (neutron) or a whole positive charge (proton). Protons are made of two up (+2/3) + (+2/3) =+4/3 and one down (-1/3) quarks. Combining the third charge of the down quark means you take the negative charge from the positive charge

Diffusion‚ Osmosis‚ Active Transport There are two ways in which substances can enter or leave a cell: 1) Passive a) Simple Diffusion b) Facilitated Diffusion c) Osmosis (water only) 2) Active a) Molecules b) Particles Diffusion Diffusion is the net passive movement of particles (atoms‚ ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. It continues until the concentration of substances is uniform throughout. Some major examples of diffusion

focus our attention towards gold nano–particles and their biomedical application in targeting cancer. Different types of gold nano-particles will be discussed and how they are used for in-vitro assays‚ in-vivo and ex-vivo imaging‚ cancer therapy and drug delivery. The key feature of nano-particles is multifunctionality. These particles have many properties that are attractive for use in cancer therapy and thus there is huge potential of using nano-particles for cancer therapy. Keywords—nanoscale;

While Art and Science are too different things‚ they are more alike than they appear‚ they both are human attempts to represent and exhibit more about the world. In Particle fever‚ it fills in the story of Higgs bason’s great finding‚ and masterly intertwined through the story‚ are parallels between science and art. Science and art‚ the methods of the two have different
