🔴 PHY103. ELASTICITY

 *ELASTICITY*   Elasticity is the ability of a body to resist a distorting influence and to return to its original size and shape when that influence or force is removed  Solid objects will deform when adequate loads are applied to them; if the material is elastic, the object will return to its initial shape and size after removal   Moving on, the physical reasons for elastic behavior can be quite different for different materials.  In metals, the atomic lattice changes size and shape when forces are applied (energy is added to the system).  But for rubbers and other polymers, elasticity is caused by the stretching of polymer chains when forces are applied. Let's look into Hooke's law  *HOOKE'S LAW*  Hooke's law states that the force required to deform elastic objects should be directly proportional to the distance of deformation, regardless of how large that distance becomes  This is known as perfect elasticity, in which a given object ...

🔵 CHE101. KINETIC THEORY

*KINETIC THEORY*  Today's class shall be on Kinetic Theory of Gases   The kinetic theory of gases is a historically significant, but simple, model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established.  The kinetic theory of gases explains the macroscopic properties of gases, such as volume, pressure, and temperature, as well as transport properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity and mass diffusivity. The model also accounts for related phenomena, such as *Brownian motion.*    *The theory for ideal gases makes the following assumptions:* 1. The gas consists of very small particles known as molecules. This smallness of their size is such that the total volume of the individual gas molecules added up is negligible compared to the volume of the smallest open ball containing all the molecules. This is equivalent to stating that the average distance separating the gas particles is large compared to thei...

RESUMPTION UPDATE

 National Association of University Students (NAUS) Press Release                                                           19-08-2020 *RESUMPTION DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK - MINISTER OF EDUCATION, ADAMU ADAMU* Before delving into the Crux of this press text; which is basically to update the general public, most especially the students' populace the takeaway of today's protest which commenced from Unity Fountain in Abuja to the Federal Ministry of Education in demanding for serious and decisive action to be taken on safe re-opening of schools nationwide by the Federal Government. Foremost, I commend the resilience and commitment of all Students' Union Presidents and the entire Nigerian students for mobilising massively towards the historic walk that was embarked upon today by the association despite the threat of fire and brimsto...

GNS201 SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF NIGERIA

SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF NIGERIA  Social Structure refers to organized form of social institutions and patterns of relationship that compose a society.  *Society*  means coming together for companionship. It refers to a large grouping that shares the same geographical  territory, a common culture.  Every society has value.  *NORMS* They are patterns or behaviors that is acceptable in the society. ```Types ``` 1. Morales 2. Folk way Both norms can be sanctioned either positively or negatively. 1.  *Morales* are the type of norms when if broken, one can be *negatively* sanctioned for it. e.g. Murder 2. *Folk Way* are the norms which are not accorded much importance *(they are taken lightly).*       *TYPES OF SOCIETY* A. *PreIndustrial society* :.Human labour was preeminent. e.g  Hunting, Horticulture society, herding society. B. *Industrial society:-* Machines took over human later. This  gave rise to post industrial society (ICT) C. ...
