A laptop is a personal computer

that can be easily moved and used in a

variety of locations. Most laptops are
designed to have all of the functionality of
a desktop computer, which means they
can generally run the same software and
open the same types of files. However,
laptops also tend to be more expensive
than comparable desktop computers.
Construction, also called building
construction, the techniques
and industry involved in the assembly
and erection of structures, primarily
those used to provide shelter. The present
state of construction is complex. There is
a wide range of building products and
systems which are aimed primarily at
groups of building types or markets. The
design process for buildings is highly
organized and draws upon research
establishments that study material
properties and performance, code
officials who adopt and enforce safety
standards, and design professionals who
determine user needs and design a
building to meet those needs. The
construction process is also highly
organized; it includes the manufacturers
of building products and systems, the
craftsmen who assemble them on the
building site, the contractors who employ
and coordinate the work of the craftsmen,
and consultants who specialize in such
aspects as construction management,
quality control, and insurance.
The rock cycle is a concept used to
explain how the three basic rock types are
related and how Earth processes, over
geologic time, change a rock from one
type into another. Plate tectonic activity,
along with weathering and erosional
processes, are responsible for the
continued recycling of rocks.
Newton’s law of gravitation
statement that any particle of matter in
the universe attracts any other with a
force varying directly as the product of
the masses and inversely as the square of
the distance between them. In symbols,
the magnitude of the attractive force F is
equal to G (the gravitational constant, a
number the size of which depends on the
system of units used and which is a
universal constant) multiplied by the
product of the masses (m1 and m2) and
divided by the square of the distance R: F
= G(m1m2)/R2. Isaac Newton put
forward the law in 1687 and used it to
explain the observed motions of the
planets and their moons, which had been
reduced to mathematical form by
Johannes Kepler early in the 17th century.
