Because of their relatively large mass, + 2 electric charge and relatively low velocity, alpha particles are very likely to interact with other atoms and lose their energy, so their forward motion is effectively stopped within a few centimeters of air.

Because of your forward motion relative to the falling rain, the rain now appears to be falling not straight down from directly above you, but at a slight angle from a point in the sky somewhat in front of you.

Because far less motion was involved than in a conventional dot matrix printer, these printers were very fast compared to dot matrix printers and were competitive in speed with formed-character line printers while also being able to print dot matrix graphics.

Because the electron carries negative charge, the electron motion in a metal conductor is in the direction opposite to that of conventional ( or electric ) current.

Because the comet's motion with respect to Jupiter was very small, it fell almost straight toward Jupiter, which is why it ended up on a Jupiter-centric orbit of very high eccentricitythat is to say, the ellipse was nearly flattened out.

Because the sun's mean motion was used to calculate the jieqi, or seasonal markings, until 1645, this intercalary month was equally likely to occur after any month of the year.

Because a rotating frame is an example of a non-inertial reference frame, Newton's laws of motion do not accurately describe the dynamics within the rotating frame.

Because the projected horizontal motion in the rotating frame is a circular motion, the ball's motion requires an inward centripetal force, provided in this case by a fictitious force that produces the apparent spiral motion.

Because the motion is so small, however, this method has not yet been very productive.

Because this is a cross product, the force is perpendicular to both the motion of the particle and the magnetic field.

Because the turbine generates rotary motion, it is particularly suited to be used to drive an electrical generator – about 90 % of all electricity generation in the United States ( 1996 ) is by use of steam turbines.

Because of the relative motion of rotor and stator, molecules preferably hit the lower side of the blades.

Because of the devolution of power, the powers of the Central Committee have increased substantially ; for instance, when a two-thirds majority of the Politburo voted in favour of retaining Lê Khả Phiêu as General Secretary ( the leader of Vietnam ), the Central Committee voted against the Politburo's motion and voted unanimously in favour of removing Lê Khả Phiêu from his post of General Secretary.

Because both may be specified more or less arbitrarily, the wave function cannot maintain its former role of determining the probability density of finding the electron in a given state of motion.

Because their motion is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the ions are accelerated out into space.

Because the collisions between billiard balls are nearly elastic, and the balls roll on a surface that produces low rolling friction, their behavior is often used to illustrate Newton's laws of motion.

Because they are driven over the entire membrane surface rather than from a small voice coil, they ordinarily provide a more linear and lower distortion motion than dynamic drivers.

Because the drum carrying the letterforms ( characters ) remains in constant motion, the strike-and-retreat action of the hammers had to be very fast.

Because far less printhead motion was involved than in a conventional dot matrix printer, these printers were much faster than dot matrix printers and were competitive in speed with formed-character line printers while also being able to print dot-matrix graphics as well as variable-sized characters.

Because of the opposite motion of the legs, eggbeater is a very smooth and steady way of treading water.

Because of this non-fighting aspect, and iaido's emphasis on precise, controlled, fluid motion, it is sometimes referred to as " moving Zen.

Because Bright's speeches were so much a part of him, there are long and numerous quotations, which, far from making the biography diffuse, help to give us the feel of the man.

Because of this, it would appear inevitable that an increasing percentage of strategic missiles will seek self-protection in mobility -- at least until missile defenses are perfected which have an exceedingly high kill probability.

Because of the authentic homogeneity of his early Nationalistic materials, and his flair for orchestrations -- his brilliant Petruchka, his savage Sacre Du Printemps, his incisive Les Noces -- the world kept hoping that he could recapture the historical direction for which his native talents were predisposed.

Because CCD imagers are linear, image processing may be used to subtract away the effects of light pollution, which has increased the popularity of astrophotography in urban areas.

Because an alpha particle is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, which has mass number 4 and atomic number 2, this can also be written as:

Because of the tortuous terrain in places, villages and towns in the mountains — to which travel via motorized vehicles are of little use — are still located in the high Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador.

Because the characters were 8 x 12 pixels this meant that video resolutions of 512 x 192 pixels ( in 64x16 character mode ), or 640 x 300 pixels ( in 80x24 character mode ) were created, which was quite high for the time.

Because of heavy traffic on the roundabout of which the Arc is the centre, it is recommended that pedestrians use one of two underpasses located at the Champs Élysées and the Avenue de la Grande Armée.

Because of the wide variety of evidence, which can include artefacts as well as sites, there is no one way to practice archaeoastronomy.

Because individuals with albinism have skin that entirely lacks the dark pigment melanin, which helps protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet radiation, their skin can burn more easily from overexposure.

Because of Athlon's very large L1 cache and the exclusive design which turns the L2 cache into basically a " victim cache ", the need for high L2 performance and size was lessened.

Because the markets were already nervous due to the Asian financial crisis, investors began selling non-U. S. treasury debt and buying U. S. treasuries, which were considered a safe investment.

Because of the gamble they take in the early stage of the game there is a build up of tension, which is immediately released once the train is robbed.

Because of the split in the Conservative Party and because of Disraeli's unpopularity, arising from the budget fight of 1852, which is outlined above, no Conservative reconciliation remained possible so long as Disraeli remained leader in the House of Commons.

Because this range of non-zero amplitude may be very broad or infinite, this definition is typically relaxed so that the bandwidth is defined as the range of frequencies in which the signal's spectral density is above a certain threshold relative to its maximum.

Because this complex has no charge, it is no longer attracted to polar water molecules and dissolves in the kerosene, which is then easily separated from the solution.

Because less defensive emphasis was placed on the use of the forearms and more on the gloves, the classical forearms outwards, torso leaning back stance of the bare knuckle boxer was modified to a more modern stance in which the torso is tilted forward and the hands are held closer to the face.

Because of the open-ended style of boxing judging, many fights have controversial results, in which one or both fighters believe they have been " robbed " or unfairly denied a victory.

Because the pairing increases this energy barrier, kicks from oscillating atoms in the conductor ( which are small at sufficiently low temperatures ) are not enough to affect the condensate as a whole, or any individual " member pair " within the condensate.

Because the breasts are principally composed of adipose tissue, which surrounds the milk glands, their sizes and volumes fluctuate according to the hormonal changes particular to thelarche ( sprouting of breasts ), menstruation ( egg production ), pregnancy ( reproduction ), lactation ( feeding of offspring ), and menopause ( end of menstruation ).

Because arcs of circles and ellipses cannot be exactly represented by Bézier curves, they are first approximated by Bézier curves, which are in turn approximated by arcs of circles.

Because of continued pressure on space the decision was taken to move natural history to a new building in South Kensington, which would later become the British Museum of Natural History.

Because of this, it has a transportation system which includes more than of roads, 10 major international airports, 300 smaller airports, of functioning railway track, and more than 300 commercial ports and harbours that provide access to the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans as well as the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Because Methodists, Pentecostals, and other evangelicals stress " accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour ", which comes from John Wesley's emphasis of the New Birth, they often refer to themselves as being born-again.
