...tree would bring the car to an abrupt halt. The speed of the occupants, however, would remain the same because of their independent inertia and they would bang into the steering wheel, the dashboard or the windshield. The force exerted by the steering wheel or the windshield would then bring the occupants to a stop but may in the process cause injury to vulnerable body parts such as the head and the face. Car manufacturers use 2 different restraint systems to help stop the occupants while doing as little damage to him or her as possible. The oldest one is the seatbelt that spreads this stopping force across sturdier parts of the body over a longer period of time to minimize damage. The air bag is the second and a more recently developed system that is used to deploying a rapidly inflating cushion in the space between the passenger and the steering wheel or dash board to prevent crash injuries. Fig1-Diagram of an airbag.[3] 2.History of Airbag:- The car manufactures has spent a great time in advancing car safety features. The airbag is one innovative safety feature. Before the airbags that were placed in cars, the cars did not have any safety features. They had an automatic seatbelt. The car manufactures first introduced the airbag system in the 1970s. In 1971 the Ford Company tested the airbag system at an experimental fleet. Then a few years later the Chevrolet made the airbag in cars just for the governmental purposes. Later on General Motors...

... Normally, micropipettes are consisting several of components, such as volume adjustment dial and a digital volume indicator. These pipettes also get used to different types of disposable tips at the end of a shaft which is one part of special of micropipettes. Liquids are drawn into the disposable plastic tips fitted at the end of micropipette shafts instead of into the shafts themselves. There are 2 main buttons found on micropipettes, which are the plunger button and the tip ejector button. The pipette will immediately release the disposable tip at the end of the device by pushing the ejector button. Most of plungers of micropipette are designed to stop at two different positions. Pipette will draw the desired volume of liquid up into its disposable tip by depressing the plunger to the first stopping position and slowly releasing it. A micropipette's plunger is then pressing down further to the second stopping point to release the volume of fluid drawn into at the first stop. For accuracy measurement, pipette plungers should be pressed down to first stop point before the pipette tip gets inserted into a sample. Volume adjustment dial...

...HM 40/130 is the machine used in the laboratory session to mold Polypropylene. Thermoplastic materials such as nylon, polystyrene, polythene and polypropylene can be used in a process called injection molding. How injection molding works? 1. The hopper is filled with granules of plastic powder. The hopper stores the material until it is needed. 2. The heater starts heating up the tube until it reaches a high temperature, then a screw thread starts turning. 3. The granules are pushed along the heater section by a motor, which pushes the granules along the heater section. The heater melts the granules until they reach the liquid state. This liquid is then forced under pressure into a mold where it cools down the liquid and solidifies it, which then turns into a shape. 4. The mold then opens and the ejector pins remove the molded part. In one molding cycle, the maximum amount of plastic injection mold that can be injected is called the “shot size”. For best quality, parts must use about 60% to 70% of a machines rated shot size. Larger shot sizes will not allow sufficient melt cushion for packing. Smaller shot sizes produce greater irregularities and loss of precision. The relatively high melting point of polypropylene allows continued use at 104°C. The resin begins to soften at about 121°C. The polymer “Polypropylene” (C3H6)n properties: Property Value Molecular weight of repeat unit 42.08 g/mol. Young’s modulus 1.5-2 Gpa Impact strength 3.0 - 30...

...physics principles such as ‘weightlessness’ and ‘acceleration/deceleration’ play a large part in ensuring that the rides are as thrilling as they are safe. In this essay I am going to show how two certain physics principles are being used in a ride to ensure that the ride is safe but at the same time delivers a lot of thrill to the rider. I am going to explore the sense of ‘weightlessness’ during freefall, and how ‘forces’ are used to ensure that the ride is not dangerous, I will also mention how gravitational potential energy converts to kinetic energy as the ride drops. Physics principles ================== Weightlessness Freefall is a term used to describe how an object is moving through the air when there are practically no forces other than gravity acting on them. During freefall, object experience a sense of ‘weightlessness’, but weightlessness does not mean that an object loses all its weight. Since in Physics ‘weight’ does not mean how heavy an object is, (that is known as the ‘mass’) ‘weight’ is a term used to describe how much force and object is exerting due to gravity, weight can only be felt if there is another force opposing the direction of the weight, as stated by Newton’s laws of motion that ‘all forces have a resistant force that is equal to and in the opposite direction of the force’, on earth the resistant force is delivered by the ground beneath our feet, so if the ground was taken...

Cells are made up of plasma membrane which encloses organelles. Orgnelles are small organs which have individual and specialised functions and are often enclosed in their own membrane within the cell. All cells with the exception of red blood cells have a nucleus. The nucleus is thelargest organelle and contains the body’s genetic material. Most damaged and dead cells can be replaced aged cells are programmed to self destruct. Cells are thebody’s smallest functional units, grouped toether they form Body tissue.

INTRODUCTION Wing-in-ground effect applies to vehicles design to fly at very low altitudes to take the advantage of increased in aerodynamic lift and reduced drag which occurs when a wing is in ground effect. The phenomenon of ground effect was observed as early as the Wright Brothers’ Wright Flyer I which flew in the presence of ground effect. During World War II, war planes which are low on fuel flew in ground effect in order to fly back to base in order to make use of the increase in efficiency when operating in ground effect. Despite this phenomenon of ground effect was discovered very much earlier before the cold war, the main advances in ground effect technology took place during the 1960s...

DIRT – is a residue we remove or clean in every area. 2. DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIRT 1. DUST – is the baisc source of dirt. It is a form of particles. 2. SOIL – when the dust are mixed with water and oil. 3. STAIN – when patches of soil dry up in any surface. 4. TARNISH or DISCOLORATION – is caused by stains that were not removed for sometime. CLEANING ELEMENTS When cleaning, we can not just hold a piece of rag and wipe the dirty spot. There are four elements that we need to combine in order to clean effectively. These elements of cleaning are: time, mechanical action, chemical action and temperature. Time combines with all other elements of cleaning. When performing mechanical action, it will take time to remove the dirt, Chemical application to dirt requires time to take effect or react to the dirt. Time chemical action and mechanical action make a good cleaning combination. On instances, when the types of dirt could not be removed by the first three elements, Temperature shall be required to effectively complete the cleaning process. For Example: 1. greasy pots could not be cleaned well despite the application of the first three elements. However, greasy dirt can be easily loosened with the application of hot water. 2.
