mass attached on the end of an elastic film. As an input the system response has the movement of the electrode end, and as the output it has the flexure of the firm which causes a voltage displacement used for analysis. This 2nd order high pass function is calculated and analyzed in this experiment by taking into account the mass, spring constant of the film and the friction due to air and plastic viscosity in the firm. For this reason the weight added to the transducer during the procedure was

HUMAN POPULATION GROWTH SCI/230 The human population started off slow until the beginning of the 1900s when the industrialization of the world changed mortality rates. This is evident by the logistic growth curve of the population from year one to the 1800s, when the population reached the 1 billion mark. The population did not grow rapidly at this time and it actually remained flat for almost 1500 years at the beginning. The population then grew rapidly as advancements in medicine
