Q: (Physics) Define Dark Current.

(And if you're real leet - Q: Show that the ideal Gas Equation is in agreement with both Boyle's Law and Avogadro's Law)

Corruptedmorals

Pfft, everytime I look at this thread, it's always physics, chemistry or economics as the last question.

Where is the biology?? History..?

Dark Current?

I think I'll go with answering the leet question

Ideal Gas Equation: PV = nRT

Boyle's Law: Volume indirectly proportional to Pressure - check
Charles' Law: Temperature directly proportional to Volume - check

....

For Corrupted morals:
Name the Serbian Prime Minister at the time of the Sarajevo assassination.

Oo
Avogadros Law states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.

As for the check, check solution - that is a chemistry way of looking at it, in physics we would consider Kinetic Theory - mathematical statements.
I suppose my question was a little vague in that respect.

No, Nikola Pasic was the Serbian leader. Duffy, Duggen and Barton were the other three Treaty guys.

Maths: what is the square root of -25

Who am I thinking of?Was he the Austrian PM?

I didnt think you could have a square root of a negative number...but then again, Im pass maths...what would I know??

Franz Ferdinand was the archduke of Austria, whose assassination triggered World War I.

Indemnity means you cannot make a profit from insurance.


Question: Briefly explain McGregors theories. (probably spelt mcgregor wrong!!)

ZorbaTehZ

*or a loss.

A: McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y are two very different attitudes towards workforce motivation.

Theory X says that workers are lazy shítes and not bothered about their work and that they need to be forced to work by close supervision and strict control.

Theory Y says that workers want to do well at work given the right conditions and that they desire to be creative. Managers feel that workers should be given more freedom so that this can be exploited.

Sorry, I misread it(and I knew I had when I logged off last night), I gave Charles' law rather than Avagadro's law.


Ideal Gas Equation: PV = nRT

Boyle's Law: Volume indirectly proportional to Pressure - check
Avagadro's Law: Volume directly proportional to number of molecules - check

Both laws require constant temperature, therefore the constant in this case is RT.

It's not on the physics course though, is it?

What do you mean by mathematical statements as opposed to "check"?

Corruptedmorals wrote:

Really? Aw, pity... it's easily the best one(IMO).

ZorbaTehZ

I don't do chemistry so I didn't even consider nRT, it's still probably a valid answer (notwithstanding the fact that this would never be asked on Physics, like you said)

I was looking at proving it from P = 1/3 x rho x RMSvelocity^2

Back on-topic, just realised that that part of the Irish course is an option so:

Q: (Business) Explain Total Quality Management (TQM).

Total Quality Management is a system by which all employers and employees of a business work together to achieve high quality products and standards.
It requires commitment from workers to work hard to achieve high standards. (something like that, correct if wrong)

Sum-Product Problem

Two numbers (not necessarily different) are chosen from the range of
positive integers greater than 1 and not greater than 20. Only the
sum of the two numbers is given to mathematician S. Only the product
of the two is given to mathematician P.

---

On the telephone S says to P, "I see no way you can determine my sum."
An hour later P calls him back to say, "I know your sum."
Later S calls P again to report, "Now I know your product."
What are the two numbers?

JC 2K3

x + y = s
xy = p

y = s - x
y = p/x

p/x = s - x
x^2 - sx + p = 0
20 > (s+sqrt(s^2 - 4p))/2 > 1
40 > s+sqrt(s^2 - 4p) > 2
40 - s > sqrt(s^2 - 4p) > 2 - s
s^2 - 80s + 1600 > s^2 - 4p > s^2 - 4s + 4
4p - 80s + 1600 > 0 > 4p - 4s - 4
p - 20s - 400 > 0 > p - s - 1

.....

That's as far as I can get.....

Sum product problem. Answers are two and six(2 and 6)

The twin objectives of a bank are profitability(i.e to make money) and liquidity(to have sufficent money in cash form to satisfy creditors demands)

In physics state the two laws of electromagnetic induction and explain the formula

Can you post your solution to this please?

ZorbaTehZ

^boons above:
You only post a question if you have answered the previous one correctly! If you don't know the answer resist the urge to reply (ie píss off)

Lenz's Law Of Electromagnetic Induction states that the direction of the induced current is always in the direction opposite of the change causing it.

Faraday's Law Of Electromagnetic Induction states that the average induced EMF is proportional to
1. Rate of change of Magnetic Flux
2. Number of turns in the coil.

-n(dpsi over dt)=E
. .are the laws in written form, that the induced EMF (E bash) is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linking the coil (d(psi)/dt) and the number of turns of the wire in the coil (N).

Next question:
Q: (Physics) Explain the 3 major problems that were caused by the photoelectric effect that physicists could not explain before Einstein's
explanation.

ZorbaTehZ

As for the problem ThatGuy posted, it's also known as the impossible problem (misnomer - it is actually solvable) and the only way I know of solving it is by writing a computer program to check all the possibilities.
