Film: The wire (TV series 2002-2008) The series features the abuse of narcotics from a law enforcer’s‚ abuser’s and a drug dealer’s perspective. Rational choice theory This theory settles on a practical belief that man is an actor who reasons contemplates on benefits‚ means‚ costs and ends then makes a rational choice. Man has a sense comprehensible rationale of free will‚ where he evaluates the risks and benefits for committing a crime. From the excerpts from the film (season1)‚ we see a night

Wire A wire is a single‚ usually cylindrical‚ flexible strand or rod of metal. Wires are used to bear mechanical loads or electricity and telecommunications signals. Wire is commonly formed by drawing the metal through a hole in a die or draw plate. Standard sizes are determined by various wire gauges. The term wire is also used more loosely to refer to a bundle of such strands‚ as in ’multistranded wire’‚ which is more correctly termed a wire rope in mechanics‚ or a cable in electricity. Although

Introduction The resistance of a wire depends on certain factors. Some of these variables are listed below: Length of wire Diameter or thickness of wire Temperature at which wire is kept The material of which wire is made out of. The potential difference or voltage. Humidity Cross sectional area. Voltage across circuit All these factors will have to be kept constant except the diameter of the wire whilst doing the experiment to ensure that the investigation is

the resistance of a piece of wire; the one I am investing is the length at constant temperature. My objective in this experiment is to investigate one of the factors that affect the resistance of a piece of wire. The factor I chose was length. Factors: There our four different things that affect the resistance of a wire: 1. The Length because the wire is thinner than the rest of the wires the electrons wood have more trouble going through for if the wire had the same width there would

Section 1 WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WIRES? INTRODUCTION Electricity is usually invisible. Except for lightning and sparks‚ you never see it in daily life. However‚ light bulbs and a magnetic compass can show you when something electrical is happening. By observing their behavior and making a few assumptions‚ you can begin forming ideas about electricity. This type of thinking is called “building a model”.

Hello Garci Scandal "Hello Garci" refers to the alleged wiretapped conversations where vote rigging in the 2004 elections was discussed by‚ among others‚ a woman presumed to be President Arroyo and man presumed to be Comelec Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano. Ironically‚ the controversy that nearly toppled the Arroyo administration started at the Palace‚ when Presidential Spokesperson Ignacio Bunye released CDs of the Hello Garci conversations on June 6‚ 2005. Days later‚ former NBI Deputy Director

GCSE Physics Coursework - Resistance of a Wire Coursework Resistance of a Wire Task To investigate how the resistance of a wire is affected by the length of the wire. Theory What is resistance? Electricity is conducted through a conductor‚ in this case wire‚ by means of free electrons. The number of free electrons depends on the material and more free electrons means a better conductor‚ i.e. it has less resistance. For example‚ gold has more free electrons than

Physics Coursework - Resistance of a Wire Coursework Introduction (Theory) In this piece of Coursework I am going to investigate the resistance in a piece of wire. Resistance is the force that slows down the flow of electrons; this can be due to electrons colliding. The total length of the wires will affect the amount of resistance. The longer the wire‚ the more resistance that there will be. This is also true for thickness of wire; the thinner the wire is the more resistance. Resistance

Illinois. He saw a wooden rail with nails sticking out and decided to use this to start his design of barbed wire. His wife’s garden needed protection and that started his invention process. One year later in 1874‚ the barbed wire fence was patented. Glidden became a millionaire with assets. His company‚ with partner Issac Ellwood‚ The Barb Fence Company made 10‚000 pounds of barbed wire the first year and 600‚000 pounds by 1875. When Glidden died‚ he was one of the richest people in America. Although

Petit: Sane Wire Walker What do you think when you imagine a man walking on a wire higher than 10 stories high? A French wire walker named Philippe Petit walked over many structures from Notre Dame to Sydney‚ Australia‚ to New York. Through the things he has done‚ people may think he is crazy. However‚ Petit and I think that there is nothing crazy about what he has done. I believe the people/society thinks he is crazy. They see this man up hundreds of feet walking across a wire over famous
