Thus the end result of diffusion would be a constant concentration‚ throughout space‚ of each of the components in the environment. The particle theory states that matter is made up of tiny particles that are in constant motion and are held together by very strong electric forces. The state that the matter is in determines how quickly diffusion will take place. Gas particles have the most energy

ECON1020 Tutorial 2 Long-Run Economic Growth Chapters 5 & 6 Submission due 6am‚ Monday 23rd of March. Question 1 If we boost productivity‚ we can improve economic growth Tony Abbott (Australian Prime Minister) (a) What is labour productivity? (b) Assuming Mr Abbott was talking about labour productivity‚ discuss this meaning of this quote. Do you agree with it? (c) According to the economic growth model presented in the textbook‚ what are the two key factors which determine labour productivity?

String theory would solve the long fight between Einstein’s theory of relativity and Quantum Physics. String theory proclaims that everything in our universe‚ from stars and suns to apples and atoms‚ is made up of incredibly small particles called strings. Strings are so small‚ that if an atom were the size of our solar

Abstract This paper discusses radon gas‚ which is produced as a byproduct of the natural decomposition of uranium in rocks‚ soil‚ and water. Gas build-up in enclosed dwellings such as houses‚ apartment and office buildings‚ factories‚ and schools is a major concern in many parts of the country. Human exposure to high concentrations of this gas for extended periods of time can be extremely damaging to health. Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate of any cancer‚ and it is estimated that 15%

Last year they found the ’god particle’ a particle associated with how all other particles get their masses. With this information they attracted attention. This discovery was not a coincidence‚ in fact it was a part of the next stage of physics research. Higgs Boson provides to give us a picture of basic rules

University of Manchester‚ James Rutherford shot alpha particles at a gold nucleus which in result unveiled the legendary discovery of the structure of the atom. Exactly seventy years later scientists and engineers at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) launched the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which was designed to achieve quite the same purpose as Rutherford’s‚ particle collisions. However‚ this time the collider was not a simple particle emitter set up on a laboratory table but a circular

Two types of grinding machines In materials processing a grinder is a machine for producing fine particle size reduction through attrition and compressive forces at the grain size level. See also crusher for mechanisms producing larger particles. In general‚ grinding processes require a relatively large amount of energy; for this reason‚ an experimental method to measure the energy used locally during milling with different machines was recently proposed.
