Experiment 1: Pressure, Temperature, and Velocity Measurement Objective: The objective of this experiment is to determine the pressure and density of laboratory air, calibrate a pressure transducer and scannivalve, then determine the test section speed as a function of fan speed using three methods of velocity measurement. Equipment: Absolute pressure transducer, digital thermometer, pressure transducer (voltmeter), micromanometer, scannivalve, Pitot tube, low-speed wind tunnel. Part 1: Measurement of Atmospheric Pressure and Density 1. Read the barometer and wind-tunnel thermocouple. 2.
INT1 – Task Two Author Note Section A Problem Statement: This experiment is designed to determine the relative resistance of copper wire as temperature changes in order to gauge the effect, if any, that global warming will have on the cost of the delivery of electricity Relevance: Global warming is expected to have a major effect on the ecosystems of the world. Could global warming also affect the efficiency of the delivery of electrical energy and, if so, what is the magnitude of even a small increase in global temperatures? A1. Literature review: In the article on Temperature and Conductivity (Khounsary, 2005): The researcher comments on if temperature would affect the amount of current traveling through a wire. Dr Khounsary explains an experiment using a fixed voltage and varying the temperature of the wire using a torch.
5. Why is the pattern of alternating reversals of the Earth's magnetic field as recorded in the sea floor rocks such an important piece of evidence for advancing plate tectonics? -It changes the direction of where some materials move so it might help plate tectonics move one way or the other. 6. Describe sea floor spreading and explain why it is an important piece of evidence for advancing plate tectonics.
This essay will firstly discuss the extent to which the impacts of storms in the UK, such as ‘The Great Storm’ of October 1987 in Southern England and the recent St Jude’s storm in October 2013, are the result of physical and human influences, and then evaluate the effectiveness the responses to these storms. On one hand, it must be argued that physical factors are key in determining the magnitude of impacts from UK storm events. Factors such as the depth of a depression, the intensity of the pressure gradient and the resulting strength of winds as well as a storm’s path are key in determining the magnitude and nature of the effects of storms, particularly the economic impacts. The Great Storm in 1987, for example, which developed as a severe depression in the Bay of Biscay (964 millibars) and moved northeast, was the worst recorded climatic event in the UK. The hurricane strength winds which gusted up to speeds of 10 knots in the south-east England caused more than 15 million tress to fall down, blocking roads and railways and leaving widespread structural damage to more than 15 million buildings.
Week 6 iLab Report DeVry University NETW360: Wireless Technologies and Services Evaluate and Solve Common Security-Related Problems Submitted to: Professor Richardson Evaluate and Solve Common Security-Related Problems Introduction Overextension of wireless signals is a problem that is faced by any company that chooses to have a WLAN. The problem with a WLAN extending beyond the necessary area, is the availability that is presented to unauthorized users of the network. This report tries to establish the causes of that overextension. And it will also cover how to properly regulate the wireless signal so that the excess signal is reduced. Specific questions from iLab Scenario 1 Discuss how changing the type of antennas affects the amount of signal spilling outside the building?
If the interest rate is low, it will cause more funds to be available, greater expansion and increased employment. If the interest rate is high, it will cause fewer funds to be available, less expansion, and decreased employment. Fiscal policy is an important tool for managing the economy because of its ability to affect the total amount of output produced or the gross domestic product. The first impact of a fiscal expansion is to raise the demand for goods and services. This greater demand leads to increases in both output and prices.
The evidence of sea floor spreading was further supported by Vine and Drummond, who studied the magnetic pattern of the sea floor. They found that the Earth’s magnetic field changes over time, because as magma from the mantle rises to the crust it cools but the basalt will align to the field it cools to. It is also found that on either side of mid oceanic ridges there were symmetrical magnetic patterns, so suggesting that the ocean was created at the mid oceanic ridges and as new ocean floor cooled, it pushed the crust away. Both Hess and Vine and Drummond found evidence that is crucial to the explanation of how continental drift happened, and it is very important in the development of geologists understanding, however other people found evidence to support continental drift also. Dan McKenzie went on to further explain sea floor spreading, being able to explain why new crust was made at mid oceanic ridges.
This extreme pressure change makes the iso bars compact together creating fast moving winds and causing wind speeds to increase to even out the air pressure. 3. Describe the changes in central pressure and sustained wind speed between 29 and 30 August 2005? The air pressure from august 29th to august 30th changed from 904mbars to 985 mbars. While the air pressure increased the winds decrease as iso bars spread apart and wind is no longer moving at an abrupt pace.
Climate Paper For SCI/362 February , 2013 * If left unmonitored, human influences on the climate system can cause negative effects on the Earth, including posing health-related issues for the human population and the endangerment of animal and plant species. The implications of scientific claims regarding climate change and the extent of damage occurring along with how this damage and potential further destruction is received will affect whether or not effective climate policies are implemented. In this paper, I will examine the various viewpoints on climate change, including my own individual perspective, describe command and control regulations versus incentive-based regulations as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each, and discuss the specific regulations I would advocate if I were associated with the Federal Congress/Administration. Today, the human population totals more than seven billion. As the human population continues to grow, the consumption of natural resources along with the damage to the environment and ozone because of pollution caused by industrial
RUNNING HEAD: Environmental Pollution Simulation Review and Summary Environmental Pollution Simulation Review and Summary Onur Atacan SCI-256 People, Science and the Environment Phoenix University Environmental Pollution Simulation Review and Summary Introduction The Environmental Pollution Simulation intends to involve us in managing environmental concerns and resources through making decisions on how to reconcile various demands about the use of natural resources in an urban environment. Based on the urban setting of the imaginary city of Keywich, the simulation contains three parts: “All That Smoke”, “A Heap of Trash”, and “The Energy Quandary”. Each section presents us with different sets of problems, demands, and decisions about environmental management. In this paper, I am going to summarize my simulation experience and explain how I arrived at respective decisions during the simulation. I.
