Examples of escapism in the following topics:
-
- An object reaches escape speed when the sum of its kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy is equal to zero.
- (It is moot to discuss escape speed for objects with propulsion systems.)
- The escape speed of the spaceship can calculated through a simple analysis of conservation of energy.
- Object E is launched with sufficient escape velocity and escapes the Earth.
- Calculate the escape speed of an object given its kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy
-
- Within a month, about 800 formerly enslaved African Americans had escaped to Norfolk, Virginia to enlist.
- During the war, tens of thousands of slaves escaped, causing a substantial economic effect on the American South.
- An estimated 25,000 slaves escaped in South Carolina; 30,000 in Virginia, and one-quarter of the almost total slave population in Georgia.
- Slaves also escaped in New England and New York, often joining the British forces occupying New York for freedom.
- By December 1775 the regiment had nearly 300 blacks, including its most famous member, an escaped slave called Titus, then known as Tye.
-
- Freedom for slaves could only be obtained through manumission by their owner, or through dangerous escape.
- As further protection for slavery, Section 2 of Article IV prohibited citizens from providing assistance to escaping slaves and required the return of chattel property to owners.
- The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by black slaves to escape to free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists who were sympathetic to their cause.
- One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped via the "Railroad" .
- Penalties were imposed upon marshals who refused to enforce the law or from whom a fugitive should escape, and upon individuals who aided black people to escape .
-
- This fundamental law of nature is manifested in what is called the "escaping tendency" of the molecules from the phase.
- The escaping tendency is of fundamental importance in understanding all chemical equilibria and transformations.
- Gradually, Pw will rise as molecules escape from the liquid phase and enter the vapor phase.
- The vapor pressure is a direct measure of the escaping tendency of molecules from a condensed state of matter.
- The vapor pressure is a direct measure of the escaping tendency of molecules from a condensed state of matter.
-
- "Contraband" was a term commonly used to describe an escaped slave during the Civil War.
- The status of African Americans, including
escaped slaves from the South, was an issue in flux while the Civil War was
being fought.
- By August of the same year, Congress determined via the
Confiscation Act that the United States would not return escaped slaves to their former
Confederate masters.
- Word spread quickly among southeastern Virginia's slave communities
regarding Butler’s actions and Congress’s decision not to return escaping
slaves.
- The day after Butler's decision, many more escaped slaves found their way to Fort Monroe and appealed for contraband status.
-
- Usually, the molecules in a glass of water do not have enough heat energy to escape from the liquid.
- Sometimes the transfer is so one-sided for a molecule near the surface that it achieves enough energy to escape the liquid.
- As the faster-moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid decreases.
- Evaporation of water occurs when the surface of the liquid is exposed, allowing molecules to escape and form water vapor; this vapor can then rise and form clouds.
-
- The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by nineteenth-century slaves to escape to free states and Canada.
- One estimate suggests that by 1850, 100,000 slaves had escaped
via the "Railroad."
- The
escape network of the Underground Railroad was not literally underground or a railroad.
- Southern newspapers of the day were often filled with
pages of notices soliciting information about escaped slaves and offering sizable
rewards for their capture and return.
- Estimates
vary widely, but at least 30,000 slaves, and potentially more than 100,000,
escaped to Canada via the Underground Railroad.
-
- In this experiment, he placed hungry cats into homemade boxes and recorded the time it took for them to perform the necessary actions to escape and receive their food reward.
- Thorndike discovered that with successive trials, cats would learn from previous behavior, limit ineffective actions, and escape from the box more quickly.
- He observed that the cats seemed to learn, from an intricate trial and error process, which actions should be continued and which actions should be abandoned; a well-practiced cat could quickly remember and reuse actions that were successful in escaping to the food reward.
- As the number of trials increased, the cats were able to escape more quickly by learning.
- Over successive trials, actions that were helpful in escaping the box and receiving the food reward were replicated and repeated at a higher rate.
-
- Tens of thousands of slaves joined British forces or escaped to British lines during the American Revolution, sometimes using the disruption of war to gain freedom.
- It was suppressed by volunteer militias and a detachment of the United States Army, who killed 66 black men in the battle, executed 16, and 17 escaped and/or were killed along the way to freedom.
- It almost succeeded, had it not been for Brown's delay, and hundreds of slaves left their plantations to join Brown's force, and others left their plantations to join Brown in an escape to the mountains.
-
- Rapid decomposition to other radicals may occur, but until one or both of these radicals escape the solvent cage a significant degree of coupling (recombination) may occur.
- Ester formation is clearly a cage product, whereas 2-chloro-1-phenylpropane comes largely from radicals that have escaped the cage and lost configurational identity.
