The diagram shows Japan can produce camcorders at lower costs - its supply curve is lower than the UK. This means that Japan has a comparative advantage in producing camcorders. In the absence of international trade between the two countries, British consumers would have to buy at a higher equilibrium price than Japanese consumers. Since Japan is more efficient, it makes sense for Japan to specialise in production of camcorders and export their surplus output to the UK at a lower free trade price
we visited whilst on our visit. Also in the next couple of pages I will explain the impact of tourism of each site The Geology Of The Isle Of Purbeck The diagram of the geology of The Isle of Purbeck The above diagram shows how the bays and headlands have been formed due to the different types of rocks. In the diagram you can see the tertiary sands, clay rocks and wealden clay rocks are the less resistant rocks and the Portland and Purbeck limestone is the resistant rock. Therefore
restricts the flow of electricity through it, this is measure in Ω (Ohms) This Resistance can be because of many things such as the nature of the material, its temperature, dimensions, and thermal properties; degree of impurity; the nature and state of illumination of the surface; and the frequency and magnitude of the current. In my investigation I am to look at two of these sets of things, length of wire and width. The ideas are; Length: As the length increases so will the resistance
freely making less collisions so more current will pass through making the resistance decreased. I have done a diagram below. [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Small wire Large wire Length: If the length of a wire is increased there are more atoms for the electrons to collide with. There for less gets through meaning the current is less so the resistance is increased. I have done a diagram below to help me understand this. Material/resistivity : Different wires composed of different metals will
Introduction We are going to find out what things affect the rate of Electrolysis and to find this out we will use Copper chloride salt dissolved in water to form a solution. The salt is dissolved in water becausechemical compounds when in a molten state or when dissolved in water exist in the form of ions that are capable of movement, meaning their molecules become dissociated into positively and negatively charged components, which have the property of conducting an electric current. A compound
of a periodic table is given below : [IMAGE] The elements in the columns down the periodic table form groups. The major groups are numbered but often the numbers are given as Roman numerals (the first group, the blue column in the above diagram, is referred to as group I etc). Elements within the same group similar chemical properties but often show a systematic variation in extent or speed of reaction as the group is descended. For example all of the group one elements (the alkali
Hydrogen: the Fuel of the Future? The Problem: For years, United States citizens have been using natural gases and oils to power their cars. While doing so we have also been polluting our environment, making ourselves dependant on other regions of the world, and depleting our oil reserves. Rory Sporrows of “Geographical” wrote, “The car is responsible for combusting eight million barrels of oil every day, contributing to nearly a quarter of total global greenhouse emissions and causing major
the sucrose concentration increases, so will the rate of reaction, but only up to a certain point. This is shown through the diagram below. As can be seen, there is a point at which the rate of reaction becomes constant, and no longer increases. This is because of the way in which the substrate interacts with the enzyme to form the end products. [IMAGE] The diagram above shows that the substrates interact with the enzymes at a specific location. This location is known as the active site
Photo of a wave cut platform and the lighthouse. Task Having completed my fieldwork, I am being asked to structure a report, which will attempt to challenge the hypotheses that state - 1. The pattern of beach material along the coastline reflects natural beach processes. 2. Destructive beach profiles are steeper in gradient than constructive beach profiles. 3. Some parts of the East Sussex coast are managed
Costs, Profits and Break-even Analysis Alas, this means coming to terms with numbers, something that seems to frighten a large proportion of Business Studies students. Before reaching the stage of actually drawing a break-even diagram we need to think what actually goes into one. First, we need to look at costs. They can be referred to in terms of output, time or product. When we speak of costs in terms of output and time we mean FIXED and VARIABLE costs. Remember fixed costs do not vary
Hypothesis I anticipate that the loading of the cantilever will show a proportional increase in the depression of the wooden ruler which will relate directly to the mass which is applied to it. This relationship is expressed in Hooke's Law, which states that "stress is directly proportional to strain." I believe that the experiment which I am going to carrying out involving the cantilever will support this and will show that that increase in mass on the ruler will result in a proportional increase
when I have a higher concentration I will have a faster rate of reaction. Referring to Edexcel Science Revision Guide edited by Mary James, the collision theory states that when there are more particles, there are more collisions making the reaction faster (see diagram). Also referring to Chemistry For You by Laurie Ryan, it states "As you increase the concentration of the acid, there are more acid particles in the same volume. Therefore there is a greater chance of acid particles colliding
membrane easily but the sugar molecules are too big. If one of the solutions has more free molecules than the other then more of those free molecules will pass through the membrane than the other way round, hence the definition. The following diagram illustrates this Low Water High Water Concentration Concentration [IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE][IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE][IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE]
retraction. Hypothesis: Not required. Method 1) Hang a piece of elastic on a clamp stand. Ensure the elastic is new. 2) Clamp a ruler using the clamp stand. Ensuring the markings on the ruler is as close to the elastic as possible. - Draw a diagram 3) Measure the length of the elastic and record the data. 4) Hang masses on the elastic until it reaches it point of irreversible distortion. Take note of this weight; do not hang more than this weight in the experiment. 5) Add a weight of 100N
dm-3 Hydrochloric Acid, HCl. By recording the temperature changes in each reaction, and using Hess's Cycle, I will be able to work out the enthalpy change. ====================================================================== Hess' Law States: "The enthalpy change for any chemical reaction is independent of the intermediate stages, provided the initial and final conditions are the same for each route." ====================================================================== [IMAGE]
on doing this over and over again, and gradually build up a sort of 3D map of the places that the electron is likely to be found. In the hydrogen case, the electron can be found anywhere within a spherical space surrounding the nucleus. The diagram shows a cross-section through this spherical space. 95% of the time (or any other percentage you choose), the electron will be found within a fairly easily defined region of space quite close to the nucleus. Such a region of space is called
starting to read books on science. He met a poor scholar who helped Einstein in his studies. The scholar’s name was Max Talmud. To boost Einstein’s knowledge, he gave Einstein several hard problems. One of them was to prove the Pythagorean theorem. (See Diagram 1.) In 1894, Einstein’s family moved to Milan, Italy, but Einstein had to stay in Munich to finish his studies. Before the end of the school year, which was six months after his parents left, he was told to leave the gymnasium because of his disrespect
"In semiotic terms, an icon is a variety of sign that bears a resemblance to its object; a diagram, for example, is an icon of that which the diagram represents (Pollock, 1995, p. 1). In Bourland-Davis’ article, she draws from Johnson and Hackman to discuss semiotics as a form of symbolic communication (Bourland-Davis, 1998, p. 2). In Bourland-Davis’ article (Bourland-Davis, p. 2), Johnson and Hackman state that ‘human (symbolic) communication … generates new and relevant combinations of associations
create software by using the following a basic step-by-step development process: (1) Define the scope of the program by outlining exactly what the program will do. (2) Plan the sequence of computer operations, usually by developing a flowchart (a diagram showing the order of computer actions and data flow). (3) Write the code--the program instructions encoded in a particular programming language. (4) Test the program. (5) Debug the program (eliminate problems in program logic and correct incorrect
and a South Pole. In the piece of iron these tiny atomic magnets line up with each other in small groups, when they do this they become domains. In a piece of iron, that is unmagnetised, the domains will all point in different directions, see diagram 1 below, the domains are shown by small arrows, the arrowhead indicates the North Pole. As all the domains are pointing in different directions there will be no true north seeking or south-seeking pole in the piece of iron as the domains will
