I think one clear example of peer pressure is the pressure to get points for the house a student belongs to. This should pressumably give them some motivation to behave. There is indeed pressure from the other members of a house, since a student will be shunned by other students of his house if he loses them a lot of points, as happened in Harry Potter 1.

What does a positive and a negative do?

Be specific.


Is the first derivative of pressure with respect to specific volume always positive in a closed system?

In a closed system, the first derivative of pressure with respect to specific volume (∂P/∂V) is generally negative for most substances, especially in the context of ideal gases and liquids, reflecting that increasing specific volume (or decreasing density) typically results in lower pressure. However, in certain conditions, such as during phase changes or for specific materials, this relationship may not hold. Thus, it is not accurate to say that this derivative is always positive; it is usually negative or zero in typical scenarios.


Is the lattice energy always negative?

No, the lattice energy can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on the specific compounds involved.


Does uranium have positive or negative ions?

Uranium can form both positive and negative ions, depending on the specific chemical conditions. In its most common form, uranium typically forms positive ions by losing electrons to achieve a stable configuration.

What happens if you put a negative number on a positive number?

When you add a negative number to a positive number, you are essentially subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. The result will depend on the specific numbers being added, but in general, the sum will be smaller than the original positive number.


What is the specific name for a negative ion is an?

A negative ion is called an anion, while a positive ion is called a cation.


Is 7 plus 1 a positive or a negative?

7+1=8 Eight, the sum of these two numbers, is a positive number. The only way these two specific numbers could combine to create a positive number would be if they were both negative, if seven was negative or if they were multiplied together and one was a negative number.


Is the enthalpy of formation always negative?

No, the enthalpy of formation can be positive, negative, or zero, depending on the specific chemical reaction and the substances involved.


How do you determine negatives or positives in math equations?

Numbers are justified as positive, which is usually written as just a number but can be written with a plus (+) sign in front of the number. (e.g. 15 or +15), or negative. Negative numbers are numbers in the negative integers, or below 0. They are written with a minus (-) sign in front of them. (e.g. -15) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ..::To solve remember these rules::.. When multiplying: positive x negative = negative positive x positive = positive negative x negative = positive When dividing: positive / negative = negative positive / positive = positive negative / negative = positive When adding: In a positive + negative situation, if the negative number has a higher number than the positive (e.g. -25 + 10) then the number is negative, this is always true when adding a higher negative to a positive. If the positive has a higher number (e.g. 25 + -10) then it's just the opposite, it will be a positive number. -------------You can solve these very easily: 25 + -10 --> (25) + (-10) to keep it well organized and easier to work with,now just remember "Keep Change Change"... - keep 25 as it is, change "+" to a "-" and change the "-10" to a positive 10. As a result, you will have: 25 - 10. Now solve. Answer = 15 (positive). If for instance you have a negative + positive, the same rules apply (Keep Change Change) negative + negative = negative positive + positive = positive When subtracting: negative - positive (vice versa), use Keep Change Change as you did with adding positives and negatives. negative - negative, use Keep Change Change positive - positive, use Keep Change Change if the number you are subtracting is a higher number. (e.g. 10-15) If you need anymore help, try asking a more specific question again on Wikianswers, search for math websites on the web, or ask your teacher or college professor for help.

Why do you get a positive number when you take the absolute value of a negative number?

Basically, the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero... so that distance would be 5, whether you are talking about positive 5 or negative 5, right? So, if you just ignore positive and negative for a specific number, you will have its absolute value.
