    "Why Distant Objects Please" 1 Distant objects please‚ because‚ in the first place‚ they imply an idea of space and magnitude‚ and because not being obtruded too close upon the eye‚ we clothe them with the indistinct and airy colours of fancy. In looking at the misty mountain-tops that bound the horizon‚ the mind is as it were conscious of all the conceivable objects and interests that lie between; we imagine all sort of adventures in the interim; strain our hopes and wishes to reach the air-drawn

    INTRODUCTION:  This is a standard circuit which can be used to adjust the brightness of mains lights and the speed of AC motors. It uses a triac‚ diac and has a radio-frequency interference (RFI) noise suppression circuit built into it as well.  The circuit controls the average power to a load through the triac by phase control. The AC supply is applied to the load for only a controlled fraction of each cycle. The triac is held in an OFF condition for a portion of its cycle then is triggered ON at

    What determines the perceived brightness of objects? Luminance is a physical and objective measure of the intensity of light. The sensation elicited by different luminances is called brightness. However brightness is a subjective measure as it is the perceived amount of light emanating from an object. It may seem logical to expect that luminance and brightness are directly proportional and that two objects that reflect the same amount of physical light into the eye will look the same brightness

    LABORATORY 3 The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of PNPP Hydrolysis Partners: Shelby Cruickshanks Alexis Williamson Introduction Most of the chemical reactions‚ which occur throughout our bodies‚ would proceed at a much slower rate of reaction without the presence of an enzyme. Cells can not wait for centuries for molecules to break down‚ if they waited for that‚ there would be no way for the organism to obtain energy or in turn survive. This is where biological catalyst comes into

    Earth’s Rotation Earth ’s rotation is the rotation of the solid Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates from the west towards the east. As viewed from the North Star or polestar Polaris‚ the Earth turns counter-clockwise. The North Pole‚ also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole‚ is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth ’s axis of rotation meets its surface. This point is distinct from the Earth ’s North Magnetic Pole. The South Pole is the other point

    actually does not. In most reactions C and D start to react to form A and B at a certain point as you can see in the equation c C + d D → a A + b B. These two reactions occur until the rate of reaction in both equations become equal (meaning the speed of the production of C and D in the first equation is equal to the speed of the production of A and B in the second equation) resulting in a

    Research An object that is falling through the atmosphere is subjected to two external forces. The first force is the gravitational force‚ expressed as the weight of the object. The weight equation which is weight (W) = mass (M) x gravitational acceleration (A) which is 9.8 meters per square second on the surface of the earth. The gravitational acceleration decreases with the square of the distance from the center of the earth. If the object were falling in a vacuum‚ this would be
