Aluminum Foil Magnetic Force
1,253 wordsSummary of Investigation An investigation was carried out to find out the relationship between the force created in a wire (or solenoid) when current flowed through it and the force from gravity. This was investigated by connecting a solenoid up to a variable power pack and then placing a light ring of either copper or aluminum around the solenoid. When the current flows through the solenoid, a magnetic force created from the solenoid should make the ring 'jump' up or levitate. When carrying out...

Real Numbers Starting Point
1,939 wordster> Sam Vaknin's Psychology, Philosophy, Economics and Foreign Affairs Web Sites Finiteness has to do with the existence of boundaries. Intuitively, we feel that where there is a separation, a border, a threshold there is bound to be at least one thing finite out of a minimum of two. This, of course, is not true. Two infinite things can share a boundary. Infinity does not imply symmetry, let alone isotropy. An entity can be infinite to its left and bounded on its...

Nature Of God Natural Theology
4,386 wordsHume I was from the beginning scandalized, I must own, with this resemblance between the Deity and human creatures. Philo David Hume wrote much about the subject of religion, much of it negative. In this paper we shall attempt to follow Humes arguments against Deism as Someone knowable from the wake He allegedly makes as He passes. This kind of Deism he lays to rest. Then, digging deeper, we shall try our hand at a critique of his critique of religion, of resurrecting a natural belief in God. Fi...

1,993 wordsEffects of Temperature, pH, and Gelatin on Bromelain Introduction Bromelain is an organic catalyst that speeds up the rate of chemical reactions. Bromelain is used in this experiment to catalyze the break down of proteins and is called a proteolytic enzyme. Enzymes enable reactions to occur at a lower temperature and energy levels. This allows many reactions to occur inside living organisms that would otherwise have been impossible to take place. This enzyme is found in fruits, leaves, and stems...

Alcohol Consumption Behavioral Disorders
2,805 wordsWhen one suggests that a behavior is determined genetically, then one horribly oversimplifies the situation, and negates the importance of culture and free will in determining how a person behaves. One behavior that has gained large-scale acceptance as having a partial genetic cause is that of alcoholism. This genetic cause I expressed in terms of risk factor. It has often been noted that the children of alcoholics are more at risk of becoming addicted to alcohol than are other children. in the ...

Earths Magnetic Magnetic Field

Since then many similar ideas have continued to pop up at random intervals (Carthy 56). An immediate difficulty is the lack of any structure or tissue that could possibly react to the magnetic field. In the year 1948, the ...
