MEASURING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRIMER ON THE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX What It Measures The HDI is a composite of three basic components of human development: longevity‚ knowledge and standard of living. Longevity is measured by life expectancy. Knowledge is measured by a combination of adult literacy (two-thirds weight) and mean years of schooling (one-third weight). Standard of living is measured by purchasing power‚ based on real GDP per capita adjusted for the local cost of living

This year in science‚ we were paired up in groups to build a car powered only by a rubber band. There was a lot of physics and thought put behind the planning of our car. The rubber band moved the car by storing up elastic potential energy which then turned into kinetic energy when released. Newton’s Laws of Motion also come in handy when thinking about how to keep the car moving. “An object in motion stays in motion.” There was also a lot of thought put into the wheels. We had to be aware of the

2.4 Galileo Galilei: Sixteenth-Century “New Scientist” 1. In your own words explain why Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the “father of modern science” Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the father of modern science because of how many of Galileo’s discoveries have become the basis of today’s science. 2. Why did Galileo choose to use a ramp to perform his acceleration experiment? Technology during Galileo’s time was still quite primitive. His experiment which required him to drop

How is the tissue of the kidneys structurally modified to aid in filtration? It has tubules and is porous B. What is important functionally about transitional epithelium? It allows for stretching. Transitional epithelium contains cells that are flattened and cells that are cuboidal; hence the name "transitional". You can find transitional epithelium in the bladder and in the first expansion of the ureters as they leave the kidneys (called a calyx). C. What is the function

Plant Genetics JANICE NALBONE Abstract This experiment is being done to show Mendel’s rule of dominance that says certain alleles are dominant and others are recessive. To show this‚ we are using tobacco seeds‚ a monohybrid cross comparing only one trait color. We are also showing Mendel’s law of segregation with a Dihybrid cross comparing two traits of color and texture. Introduction

EXPERIMENT NO-1 AIM- To determine the frequency of A. C. mains by using an electric vibrator. APPARATUS- Electric vibrator‚ table lamp‚ pulley‚ weight box‚ fishing cord‚ a. c. source. THEORY- when a cord of mass per unit length m is connected to the vibrating rod of the vibrator and stretched with a tension T‚ the cord vibrators in segments. If the length of the cord is then adjusted until the nodes are clearly marked‚ the frequency of the stretched string is the same as of the vibrating rod which

Therefore the sum of all the energies in the system is a constant. TMEinitial=TMEfinal 3. Explain the basic ideas that govern the design and operation of a roller coaster. A roller coaster is operated and designed through the application of Physics. The law of Conservation of Energy governs the changes in a coaster ’s speed and height. Simply put‚ the higher an object is off the ground‚ the more potential energy it has - that is‚ potential to gain speed as it falls. As it falls toward the ground
