The oft-repeated questions when we study motion would be something like "what has mass (or weight) got to do with the motion of a body? What are the effects of friction and surface type would be having on the body? And what's the difference between kinematics and dynamics?
Well, in kinematics, we're studying the quality of motion itself, in terms of distance or displacement, speed or velocity, and acceleration. The mass (or weight) of the object don't come into play here.
What about dynamics then? It's about the study of forces that affect the motion of a body and what are the role of each and every one of these forces; hence introducing the concept of net force and provide evidence for the existence of inertia.

Hello ev1,
Now that exams are just 'round the corner, please make sure that your revision programmes are up-to-date. For the IELTS test (speaking tests 1 and 2) and Academic Studies, those of you who didn't turn up for your respective tests may (or may not) take replacement tests. I'll have to check the schedule we have (which is probably VERY tight anyway!!!)

Definitions of Collocation on the Web:
More typically spelt ‘co-location’, it is a service whereby a company that owns a server houses it in another company’s data center due to the greater security, stronger backbone or other technological reasons.
web-hosting.candidinfo.com/glossary/web-hosting-glossary-c-d.asp
Locating wireless communications equipment from more than one provider on a single site.

phrases composed of words that co-occur for lexical rather than semantic reasons, for example, a heavy smoker is one who smokes a great deal, but someone who writes a great deal is not a heavy writer. This seems to be a lexical fact, not related to the meanings of smoker or writer.

The frequency or tendency some words have to combine with each other. For instance, Algeo notes that the phrases "tall person" and "high mountain" seem to fit together readily without sounding strange. A non-native speaker might talk about a "high person" or "tall mountain," and this construction might sound slightly odd to a native English speaker. The difference is in collocation.
web.cn.edu/kwheeler/lit_terms_C.html
The likelihood that a particular word will occur in the neighborhood of another word. This tendency can be exploited by commercial names. The words 'spick' and 'span' are an example of collocation. We also associate 'baa' with 'sheep' and 'moo' with 'cow'.

A telco's ability, for example, to connect to a local or long distance telephone company by having its equipment physically located in the other company's facilities.
www.mnta.org/publications/publications_industry_glossary.html
The action of setting in place, especially arranging in relation to others.

A competing local phone company can locate its equipment within a local exchange company’s (LEC) central office.
www.puc.state.pa.us/general/consumer_ed/telephone_terms.aspx
The tendency for words to occur regularly with others: sit/chair, house/garage.
www.finchpark.com/courses/glossary.htm
Placement of multiple antennas at a common physical site to reduce environmental impact and real estate costs and speed zoning approvals and net work deployment. Collocation can be affected by competitive and interference factors. Some companies act as brokers, arranging for sites and coordinating several carriers' antennas at a single site.

a grouping of words in a sentence
juxtaposition: the act of positioning close together (or side by side); "it is the result of the juxtaposition of contrasting colors"

Within the area of corpus linguistics, collocation is defined as a pair of words (the 'node' and the 'collocate') which co-occur more often than would be expected by chance.

Recently, a local telco has launched a new initiative aimed at content development, called the CPC ( Celcom Power Circle). This will enable mobile content developers to develop new applications and by doing so, will promote new jobs to everyone in this industry. The link is provided here:
