with the creation of an all-optical computer known as Neutron. Patents promote innovation for inventors‚ which allow exclusive rights to do business for a specific duration (McConnell‚ Brue‚ & Flynn 2009). A patent for this new technology allowed Quasar to experience growth in revenues by setting the price as the only provider of an all-optical computer. Quasar established that marginal cost and marginal revenue were equal when selling each Neutron computer at $2‚550 with quantities sold was at 5.4

assist in comprehension in what ways prices and output are regulated. These ultimately assist to calculate the efficiency or inefficiency of those markets. Quasar computers lunched the world’s first all-optical notebook computer in 2003 called Neutron. It is imperative that Quasar computers implement the best price strategies for the notebook with a view of maximizing its profit while enjoying a pure monopoly “market structure in which one firm is the sole seller of a product or service” (McConnell

Overview Chemical Warfare is using the chemical properties of a substance to your advantage during war. This has been going on for centuries. Even the most basic forms of weapons were used. People have been putting poison on the end of their spears and arrows since they have been around. Over the years‚ it has also developed into much more advanced chemistry. In this article‚ I am going to focus on the more advanced‚ modern uses of chemical warfare in World War I and World War II. World War

Introduction In these modern times‚ are nuclear power plants feasible to every nation around the world? How about in a nation experiencing the toll of depletion of resources‚ destruction of nature and poverty at the same time; is it still an answer for economic growth? Is the construction of nuclear power plants an aid for the spur of development of a country or a growing threat to the environment? Do nuclear power plants serve the people best or destroy the nature best? Nuclear power plants are

Inorganic Chemistry 1. A subatomic particle with a single positive electrical charge is protons. 2. A subatomic particle with a single negative electrical charge is electrons. 3. A subatomic particle which is electrically neutral is neutrons. 4. The nucleus of an atom is made up of _protons_ and _neutrons. 5. The number of electrons forming a charge cloud around the nucleus is (pick one of the following) greater than; equal to; smaller than the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

choice for nuclear power plants. Uranium is special because it can go through what is called induced fission. Induced fission is when a free neutron is fired at an atom (like uranium). The atom will absorb the neutron‚ and immediately becomes unstable and splits apart. When the uranium atom splits‚ it will split into two separate atoms and expels two or three neutrons depending on how the atom splits. A single uranium atom‚ when going through induced fission‚ will release about 200 MeV (million electron

1. Atomic and Molecular Structure a. Students know how to relate the position of an element in the periodic table to its atomic number and atomic mass. The Periodic Table organizes elements by their atomic number - from hydrogen (1) to whatever is the highest one currently known (>105). It is arranged so that similiar members fall in a list such as Chlorine Bromine etc.. The average atomic weight is usually shown with each element‚ but due to isotopes (caused buy nuclear varations)

Chapter 13 – States of Matter Pressure (P) – the amount of force per unit area. Pressure=F/a or P=F/a Pascal’s Principle “Any change in pressure at a point on a confined fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid”. Any change is transmitted throughout the fluid. Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle “When an object is submerged in a fluid‚ it displaces a certain volume of that fluid. The amount of force pushing upward on the object is equal to the density of the fluid (Ï) times the acceleration
