increase Definition and 865 Threads

In Demography, the rate of natural increase (RNI), also known as natural population change, is defined as the birth rate minus the death rate of a particular population, over a particular time period. It is typically expressed either as a number per 1,000 individuals in the population or as a percentage. RNI can be either positive or negative. It contrasts to total population change by ignoring net migration.
This RNI gives demographers an insight into how a region's population is evolving, and these analyses can inform government attempts to shape RNI.

    Why does tension increase with distance

    I don't get why the tension force should increase up to a point in a stretched metal wire as the wire is extended surely whatever attractive force exist within the wire (I am familiar with metallic bonding) should get less as you increase the average distance between the particles. I am very...

    Light hitting a dielectric, increase of momentum

    When light propagates in a dielectric its wavevector is given by: k = \frac{\omega n}{c} where n is the refractive index. If light propagates in vacuum n=1 the momentum is \omega / c but if light propagates in a dielectric of for example n=1.33 the momentum is increased beyond the...

    Does Balloon Lift Force Increase or Decrease with Altitude?

    As a helium balloon increases in altitude, the density of the air inside decreases. However, the density of the air surrounding it (The atmosphere) also decreases with altitude p=p0*exp(-z/z0), where z0 is the scale height of the atmosphere. So does this mean the lift force acting on the...

    Why is the phenomenon of increasing entropy not as straightforward as it seems?

    Pressure Increase + Boiling: Does Temperature Rise?

    Why does electrical resistance increase as tempreture increases.

    I have heard of people using liquid nitrogen to boost their processor speed quadruple. Why? My best guess is because the electrons start to move so fast it makes it harder for them to merge and transfer energy. This may be completely off, I know. :rolleyes:
