WHAT IF EARTH STOPS SPINNING? As we all know‚ planets spin. Our solar system was formed billions years ago from a spinning cloud of gas and dust. Nowadays‚ the Earth is turning at more than 16 hundreds kilometers an hour‚ bus it’s gradually slowing down about two seconds every one hundred thousand years. BUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THAT SLOWDOWN SPEEDS UP? If the speed of rotation were reduced by about one kilometer per hour‚ traffic air would face serious consequences. Most commercial aircrafts

resistivity in ferromagnetic metals when they are heated above the Curie temperature. Later in 1960’s‚ Albert Fert explained in his PhD thesis‚ at the University of Paris-Sud‚ how the resistivity of such metals depends on the spin of the carriers‚ namely up-spin and down-spin. But it was not until the 1980’s that the technology and experiments proved to be enough for the first creation of multilayered samples that exhibit Giant Magnetoresistance. During that period two different groups‚ Fert’s group

A national standard for tobacco regulation is more important than allowing states to set their own standards for tobacco regulation. Tobacco use has been proven to be an addictive carcinogen and therefore its regulation should be viewed as a natural rights issue because it threatens the health and safety of the individuals protected under the constitution of the united states. Tobacco use and regulation is a moral issue. Economic pressures would prevent states from mandating and upholding an

Diversity in Prison The late twentieth century is seeing a rise in racial conflict in the United States as well as on the universal stage in a broad-spectrum (Phillips & Bowling‚ 2002). Statistics indicate that racial/ethnic minorities‚ particularly black males‚ face a disproportionately high risk of incarceration in the United States. This determination is made by assessing the negative impact that incarceration can have on individuals‚ their communities‚ and the integration of minorities into

speed at which Earth rotates is 1000 miles per hours or 1600 kilometers per hour. Earth spins because of how it was formed. Around 4.6 billion years ago a very large cloud of gas and dust collapsed under it owns gravity and as it collapsed it began to spin. Material in the cloud began to create swirling eddies which formed into planets (such as Earth) and they have kept the spinning motion. Earth has continued to spin because the are no forces acting upon it to which could create it to
