C1:Generation: Bad but valuable. Just 300 Corvettes were made in 1953. Each of these first-year Corvettes was a white roadster with red interior. The Corvette was made of fiberglass for light weight, but the first cars were made with a really weak, (and kind of pathetic for a “sports car”) 150 horsepower 6-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission. The result was more of a look at me, I’m rich car than a race car. The first generation of the Corvette was introduced late in 1953. It was originally

Comparing an Eight Cylinder Camaro and a Six Cylinder Camaro The purpose of this report is to compare the six-cylinder Camaro (RS), to the eight-cylinder Camaro (Z/28) to see which one is most suitable. The specific areas I studied, based on primary and secondary sources are Performance, Gas Mileage and Price of each automobile. The Z/28 and the R/S are simply two models of a Chevrolet sport-car based on options. The Camaro has become a legend dominating the market for more than three decades

How pH Affects the Break Down of Starch by the Enzyme Amylase Hypothesis: The optimum pH for the reaction of starch with amylase is pH 7. PH values lower or higher than this value will result in a slower rate of reaction. Amylase works in the range pH 3 to pH 11. Biological Knowledge ==================== PH changes affect the structure of an enzyme molecule and therefore affect its ability to bind with its substrate molecules. Changes in pH affect the ionic bonds and hydrogen

The Automotive Industry The automotive industry is involved in the manufacturing and distributing of cars and specific car parts such as car bodies, drivetrains, engines and transmissions. Car companies in the industry manufacture these cars in their factories often using parts purchased from specialized companies (ex: company only producing transmissions) or parts produced in their own factories. These cars are then purchased by car dealerships (independent franchises selling cars to consumers)
Programming has been regarded as a logical procedure that “takes input data, processes it, and produces output data.” (Rouse, 2008, para 1) Three common examples of programming are object-oriented programming (OOP), event-driven programming (EDP), and procedural programming (PP). (Rouse, 2008) OOP is a programming language model defined by “objects” as opposed to "actions" and “data rather than logic.” (Rouse, 2008, para 1) EDP is a programming language model defined by reacting to user or processor
