Earths atmosphere not surface .

JC 2K3

Ah right.

Chemistry:
Identify this compound: CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH2(OH)

And it has to be written as 'falling perpindicually on earths atmosphere' or you lose marks.Physics-dominated by the pedantics in humanity lol.

Yet Temperature according to LC Physics is "The hotness or coldness of a body" and mass is "A measure of how difficult it is to accellerate something".....

It's been three days, so if no one can answer JC's question in 24 hours, some one should post a new question.

Uhhhhm, god I dunno my brain is switched off school and we've had a lot of economics already...

1,2,3-propane triol (glycerol). But what it REALLY is is something that won't come up and so is knowledge for knowledge's sake.

JC 2K3

2006 Question 2 (b)

It is on the course and they're perfectly entitled to ask you about it.

ROFL.

Home Ec, lol.

nedward

Yeah, but it's an unlikely question, considering it came up last year. That just was the point I was trying to make.


Chemistry: Name the oxidising agent used in an experiment to prepare ethanoic acid. A colour change is observed during the reaction. What is this colour change and why is it observed?

Acidified Sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7) and it is an excess , the colour change is orange to dark green and it is observed as Chromium is reduced in the reaction with ethanol but i dont know the exact change in numbers .

Physics : What is mutual induction and name a device based on its principle

ZorbaTehZ

Mutual Induction is the production on an EMF in one circuit by a changing current in another separate, adjacent circuit.
Example: Transformer.

Define the Volt...

ZorbaTehZ

A PD of 1 volt exists between two points if one joule of energy is used in moving a charge of one coulomb(sp) between those points.

Q: (Business) What do these initialisms stand for: CPT, ROI, IRO and EDI?

A transnational company is a company which has its headquarters in one country yet has outlets all around the world.

Advantages: Creates employment and improves standard of living for the area the outlet is in (e.g. by improving infrastructure).

Disadvantages: Many of the profits are brought back to the country where the headquarters are and the company is more likely to move to another country as its owners have no personal attachment to the country.

Example: Apple Computers

Question: Fixed Costs = €3000, Variable Costs = €20 per unit, Maximum Sales = 20,000 and Tickets = €40 per person. Calculate the break-even point.

JC 2K3

I don't do business, but....

3000 + 20x = 40x
3000 = 20x
x = 150

So you break even after 150 sales, am I correct? I'm puzzled as to the reason for inclusion of Max. Sales though....

You're right, the formula for it is fixed costs over contribution/unit (sp - vc) the max sales is required for drawing the BEP.

Chemistry: How could you test for the presence of nitrate ions in an aqueous solution?

Accounting - What is an adverse variance?

Economics - Fiscal Drag?

ZorbaTehZ

*CPT = Corporate Profits Tax

Fiscal Drag is when tax is not adjusted for inflation.

Q: (Physics) An AC power source has a peak voltage of 120V. Determine its root mean square voltage value.
