Thirteenth Amendment Racial Equality
1,352 wordsThe Era of Reconstruction following the Civil War was a period marked by an intense struggle to restore a worn-out and devastated society. The war, which was aimed at confronting the national problem of slavery, only led to subsequent dilemmas over emancipation and an undefined condition of freedom. Some had naively believed that ending slavery would solve the problem of racial inequality, overlooking the prejudice and uninviting atmosphere towards blacks. Questions over how to reinstate a dislo...

Election Of 1860 Political Parties
1,489 wordsSome might say that Gen. George Washington was a prophet to the U. S. He made predictions and gave us warnings about politics in the future.

The Effects Of Concealed Weapon Law On Crime
968 wordsThis research is important to complete because it could shed some light on alternative ways to deter and prevent crime.

Fuel Economy Commonly Referred
1,489 wordsThe idea of forced air induction by turbine, or turbo, is not new and has it's mass production roots in WWII fighter planes. What is new, however, is its application to passenger automobiles. Unlike a near constant high RPM fighter engine, an automobile requires wide-open throttle (WOT) power availability throughout its entire operating range.

Cross Sectional R R
864 wordsDetermination of r for a Metallic Conductor To determine the resistivity (r) of a given sample of wire Physical factors that affect the resistance of a conductor are length, cross sectional area and a constant that depends upon the material called the resistivity.

The geographical and cultural differences between north and south would manifest themselves at regular and alarming intervals throughout the hundred years ...

Kansas Nebraska Act Compromise Of 1850

Inversely Proportional Cross Sectional
1,082 wordsAim I am going to be studying the resistance of wire. The purpose of this investigation is to see how length and thickness of wire affect the dependent variable, resistance. Prediction I predict that, as the length of the wire doubles, the resistance will also double, but as the cross-sectional area of the wire doubles, the resistance halves. This means that the length will affect the resistance more than the thickness will. Hypothesis Resistance is caused by electrons bumping into ions. If the ...
