Fast Car Physics
Words: 1557 - Pages: 6.... on the front of a Car and Driver or Motortrend. Aerodynamics is the study of the motion of gases on objects and the forces created by this motion. The Bernoulli effect is one of the most important behind car design. The Bernoulli Effect states that the pressure of a fluid, in gaseous or liquid state, varies inversely with speed or velocity and a slower moving fluid will exert more pressure on and object than the same fluid moving slower (Yager). The goal of car designers is to make the air passing under a car move faster than the air passing over the car. This causes the air passing over the car to create more downforce than the air pa .....

Will Computers Control Humans In The Future?
Words: 866 - Pages: 4.... the Profession story people
would no longer read books to learn and improve their knowledge. People
would rely on the computers rather than "try to memorize enough to match
someone else who knows" (Nine Tomorrows, Profession 55). People would not
chose to study, they would only want to be educated by computer tapes.
Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing
something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic
world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and
allow them to control themselves by letting computers educate people.
Computers would start teaching h .....

The Serious Year 2000 Problem
Words: 423 - Pages: 2.... security systems, and air conditioning systems.
As an example of the type of incorrect calculation which can be produced due to this problem, when a computer sorts dates by year, “00” could be identified as an earlier date than “99”. A financial spreadsheet or projection therefore might show the financial trend for the 1999-2000 period running backwards rather than forwards. Insurance company computers might report a policy running through the year 2001 as having instead expired in 1901.
A bank computer calculating the interest for a financial instrument for the six year period of 1995 through the year 2000 might instead cal .....

Computer Security
Words: 2026 - Pages: 8.... Physical hazard is one of the causes of destroying the data in the
computer. For example, send a flood of coffee toward a personal computer.
The hard disk of the computer could be endangered by the flood of coffee.
Besides, human caretaker of computer system can cause as much as harm as
any physical hazard. For example, a cashier in a bank can transfer some
money from one of his customer's account to his own account. Nonetheless,
the most dangerous thief are not those who work with computer every day,
but youthful amateurs who experiment at night --- the hackers.
The term "hacker "may have originated at M.I.T. as students' jargon .....

Get Informed! - Buying The Right Computer
Words: 801 - Pages: 3.... routines from compilers, it adds a lot of useless
data. Instead of removing this useless data, the lazy programmer leaves it.
Not only does this effect you memory, it also effects how much hard drive space
you need. The bigger the program, the more space it takes to save physically.
I wouldn't suggest buying anything under a 2 geg hard drive. Why? Because by
the time you load you system (Windows95, DOS) and other software; your hard
drive is already filled up. How are you going to save your document you wrote
in WordPerfect when your hard drive is full? It's usually cheaper in the long
run to buy the biggest hard drive availabl .....

America And The Computer Industry
Words: 2602 - Pages: 10.... When these beads are moved along the wire according to "programming" rules that the user must memorize, all ordinary arithmetic operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first Òdigital calculating machineÓ. It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to help PascalÕs father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32).
In the early 1800Õs, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were oper .....
