20. Paraquat is a widely used herbicide against Marijuana plant (Cannabis sativa). This
herbicide is a photosynthesis inhibitor with a half-life of 1000 days. Studies revealed that
it can cause Parkinson’s disease in mice samples, eye irritation, liver and kidney damage
to humans hence it was banned both in the US and in the Philippines. The safe soil
concentration of Paraquat is 0.028g/m2. If the soil in a farm contains 1.8 g/m2of this
herbicide, what is the shortest period of time that it would reach a safe level?

the imagination of it; for many have pictured republics and principalities
which in fact have never been known or seen, because how one lives is so far distant from
how one ought to live, that he who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner
effects his ruin than his preservation; for a man who wishes to act entirely up to his
professions of virtue soon meets with what destroys him among so much that is evil.
Hence it is necessary for a prince wishing to hold his own to know how to do wrong,
and to make use of it or not according to necessity. Therefore, putting on one side imaginary
things concerning a prince, and discussing those which are real, I say that all men when they
are spoken of, and chiefly princes for being more highly placed, are remarkable for some of
those qualities which bring them either blame or praise; and thus it is that one is reputed
liberal, another miserly, using a Tuscan term (because an avaricious person in our language
is still he who desires to possess by robbery, whilst we call one miserly who deprives himself
too much of the use of his own); one is reputed generous, one rapacious; one cruel, one
compassionate; one faithless, another faithful; one effeminate and cowardly, another bold
and brave; one affable, another haughty; one lascivious, another chaste; one sincere,
another cunning; one hard, another easy; one grave, another frivolous; one religious,
another unbelieving, and the like. And I know that everyone will confess that it would be
most praiseworthy in a prince to exhibit all the above qualities that are considered good; but
because they can neither be entirely possessed nor observed, for human conditions do not
permit it, it is necessary for him to be sufficiently prudent that he may know how to avoid the
reproach of those vices which would lose him his state; and also to keep himself, if it be

The Velveteen Rabbit


(an excerpt)

There was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning, he was really splendid. He
was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white; he had
real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning, when
he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the
effect was charming.

There were other things in the stocking: nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and
chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at
least two hours, the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there
was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real
you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long
time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or
who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has
been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But
these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to
people who don't understand."

"I suppose you are real?" said the Rabbit. And then he wished he had not said it, for
he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive. But the Skin Horse only smiled.

"The Boy's Uncle made me Real," he said. "That was a great many years ago; but
once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always."

The greater the number of turns, the stronger the electromagnet

The EM spectrum and the color spectrum are arrangement of EM
radiation and color lights of increasing frequency or energy. For the

The 2nd reflection would reverse the reversed spectrum and would
result to the original spectra.
The configuration of the forces satisfies the two conditions for static
9 C equilibrium. The Sum of all the forces in configuration C is zero and
the torque or the spinning effect of force 1 and 2 cancel out each
other, hence, the object is neither moving nor spinning.
The distances between the points in diagram V at the first five dots
have increasing distances which means that the object covers larger

11 A Using also the point-slope form to determine the equation of each line:
y 2 - y1
y - y1 = mx - x1  m=

By applying point-slope form and slope formula,

Equations of the lines are y = 4x ; y = 8 ; y = -2x +28 ; y = 4 respectively.

Slope represents the acceleration, y represents velocity and x represents

Equations of the lines become v = 4t (from t=0 to t=2s) ; v = 8 (from t=2s
