From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. When used as a descriptor or adjective, affect means a change, and usually refers to an emotion or symptom. Affected, when used in a description, refers to fake or intentionally assumed behaviour (a changed behaviour), i.e., an affected accent. In general, to affect refers to the influence a change has on something else. In this sense, it is often confused with to effect, which generally means either "to cause/make/create a change" or to the result of a change. When used as a verb, "effect" refers to the cause of a change, or as a synonym for "created" or "made" ("The governor effected a change in policy"); while "affect" refers to the consequences of that change ("The new policy really affected our family"). As a noun, "affect" may refer to an emotion or to a psychological/psychiatric state (see below). As an adjective, it may refer to an assumed pretense: "Her affected accent really had an effect on me"; "Her affected accent really affected my view of her". Affect may refer to:

GNU Free Documentation License What affect does paying off your student loans have on your taxes? Q. I owe a little over 20k in a subsidized stafford loan that is accruing interest. If I pay off the entire loan, what affect will that have on my taxes? I've done my taxes for this past tax season and am thinking of the upcoming one. My annual income exceeds 70,000 a year, but only 70,000 of it is taxable. Asked by davidvanpaten - Sat Sep 6 18:51:55 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The only effect it will have is you won't be able to deduct the interest you had paid on the student loan over the course of the year. Other than that, nothing.

What factors affect the pitch of the note produced by rubbing the rim of a glass? IF you can site sources please Does lets say adding water in the glass lower the pitch or make the pitch higher? Asked by josemarlinhernandez - Fri Oct 9 05:46:32 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well it's as simple as how much liquid is in the glass. Have you ever drank a water bottle and blew across the lid to make a sound..and the more you drank and did that, the pitch would change? Well it's the same concept with the glass. It would also affect of how big or small the glass is. It just really depends on the vibrations and where the liquid stops the sound.

Q. What physics is related to it (secondary school - to early university level physics)? Also, how would a basic wind turbine be constructed and how would you go about testing the factors that affect the efficiency? Asked by unknown - Sat Aug 22 02:09:04 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. Efficiency (the ratio of actual power out to theoretical power out) is not the primary design goal for a windmill or turbine. The real goal is minimizing total cost per unit energy. Efficiency is a factor, but initial cost, ease of maintenance, suitability to the context, etc. are all more important. (Just as with gasoline and diesel engines). Thus, it is clear that theoretical efficiency goes up with the number of blades, but going from 1 blade to 2 increases efficiency by only 6%. Going from 2 to 3 blades increases efficiency by 3%. Going from 2 blades to 3 blades might pay, but while 4 blades would be a little bit more efficient, the gain just isn't worth the costs. Similarly, a 3_D helical turbine can be more efficient that a… [cont.] Answered by simplicitus - Mon Aug 24 02:04:51 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "affect"  marketwatch.com Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:07:02 GMT+00:00 MarketWatch (press release) In addition, as a government contractor, Humana is exposed to additional risks that may adversely affect the company's business or the company's willingness ... marketwatch.com Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:07:17 GMT+00:00 MarketWatch (press release) Actual results may differ materially from those forecast due to a variety of factors outside of the Company's control that can affect the Company's ...  english.chosun.com Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:04:10 GMT+00:00 Korea The Chosun Ilbo The seventh typhoon of the year, Kompasu is advancing from Japan is likely to affect Korea, the Korea Meteorological Administration said Monday. ...
