RESEARCH IN MOTION Why was BlackBerry so successful in North America during the 2000s? First to introduce push email One phone with a lot of features Very secure Dint have much competition US govt and big multinationals accepted quickly Meant for the corporate world Slowly shifted focus from the corporates to consumers also. What difficulty did RIM face as it became bigger? Competition increased Apple iphone changed the meaning of smartphones Scarcity of physical space

Guns are a simple idea‚ and work all the better because of it. To put it simply‚ gasses push a projectile out of a barrel. The gun hasn’t changed much since it was created in china centuries ago. Other than looks it has kept the same principle elements‚ the primer‚ the propellant‚ and the projectile (Leghorn). A primer is a small explosive that occurs when the trigger is pulled to light the propellant. Despite what many people think‚ the propellant doesn’t explode‚ it burns. It burns very quickly

Controlled variables: 1. The lighting was kept constant during the complete test. No additional light sources were added throughout the experiment‚ nor were any light sources removed throughout the experiment. This minimized the errors involved with trying to read and record the indicated measurements on the ticker tape‚ as well as the ability to analyze the experiment. 2. The same person measured and recorded the height and length of the incline plane and level horizontal track to ensure consistency

of the vectors are perpendicular to each other. The green vector is longer than the length of the blue vector. The blue vector is accelerating toward the center. The green vector is perpendicular due to being tangent along the path of the circle. 4) Now move the ball at a slow constant speed across the screen. What do you notice now about the vectors? Explain why this happens. The vectors are not noticeable. The speed remains constant therefore there would not be acceleration. Velocity

CURTIN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED PHYSICS Physical Measurement 201 DRIVEN HARMONIC OSCILLATOR Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the various aspects of harmonic motion using a Driven Harmonic Motion Analyser (DHMA). The aspects that are investigated in this experiment is the spring constant k of two springs‚ the resonant frequency‚ the damping factor‚ and the relationship between phase and resonant frequency. The value of k of the first

allows for flexion and extension of the leg. In this experiment the angle‚ angular velocity‚ and the angular acceleration of the knee and hip were analyzed in oscillatory motion. In the first set of experiments‚ the independent oscillation of the hip and knee were isolated and observed. Then the oscillation of these joints was viewed in conjunction while a subject walked‚ speed walked‚ ran‚ and walked on their tip toes.The periods for this experiment varied from 0.6s to 1.7s and the frequencies varied

Title: Using Compartmental models to predict hospital bed occupancy Abstract The use of acute care hospitals is a significant factor in the increasing cost of health care in many developed countries. The modelling of hospital beds should lead to better decision-making in relation to this expensive resource. The average length of stay is inappropriate for such modelling. Millard and others have shown that compartmental models can be used for bed modelling. These models are plausible and easily
