Tobacco Tax Advantage According to the study from The School of Public Health of The University of Hong Kong Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine‚ shows that with the 50% increase in tobacco tax in 2009‚ adolescent current smoking rate further dropped to 4.8% in early 2010 and 3.4% in late 2010‚ i.e. an overall 51% drop in adolescent smoking. Disadvantage People resort to buying illicit cigarettes‚ which is cheaper. This only promotes smuggling and illegal sale of cigarettes. Thus it is easier

Angular momentum and its properties were devised over time by many of the great minds in physics. Newton and Kepler were probably the two biggest factors in the evolution of angular momentum. Angular momentum is the force which a moving body‚ following a curved path‚ has because of its mass and motion. Angular momentum is possessed by rotating objects. Understanding torque is the first step to understanding angular momentum. Torque is the angular "version" of force. The units for torque are in Newton-meters

The calculations for colligative properties do not depend on the identity of a substance that is being used because only the amount of the substance that is used plays a role. The types of calculations that are colligative properties are: freezing point of depression‚ boiling point elevation‚ vapor pressure lowering‚ and osmotic pressure.1 Colligative properties are present in everyday life‚ such as adding salt to a boiling pot of water. By adding salt to the water‚ the boiling point of elevation

List of the First 20 Elements and their Physical Properties Atomic Radii (pm) of the First 20 Elements: - Atomic radii decreases when moving down a period‚ as the number of protons increases‚ which thence increases the effective nuclear charge. - Atomic radii increases when moving down a group‚ as the number of shells increases‚ which thence increases shielding. - The downward-sloping pattern on the above graph shows the decrease in atomic radii down a period‚ and the sudden jumps

This article is about the Obama administration saying that it would give people eight more days‚ until Dec. 23‚ to sign up for health insurance coverage that takes effect on Jan. 1 under the new health care law. The administration also said it would delay the 2015 insurance enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act by a month‚ pushing it beyond the 2014 midterm elections. The decision means that people who have not signed up for insurance by the end of March will have to wait
