In the short story‚ “The Cold Equations‚” written by Tom Godwin‚ is about an emergency supplies ship pilot who finds a stowaway on his ship‚ and must execute her on sight. This story illuminates the theme that sometimes‚ the consequences to one’s actions can be worse than the initial crime itself. First‚ in the beginning of the story‚ The E.D.S pilot sits in the cockpit of his ship‚ reciting the clearly stated law‚ “Any stowaways discovered in an EDS shall be jettisoned immediately following

Purpose The purpose of the experiment is to determine the percent yield of the precipitate; by performing double displacement reaction between solutions of two different compounds. Introduction First of all when making a solution of two different compounds; there will many variables that can be considered during the experiment. However‚ the variables are controlled variables. Controlled Variables ∙amount of water that will be dissolved with the compound (amount of water until the compound is

The Cold Equation In the short story "The Cold Equation" Tom Godwin explains the theme that you don’t always get what you want. The characters are Marilyn Lee Cross‚her brother‚ and the EDS pilot. When the EDS pilot finds her in the ship he had a conversation about how she was going to die. on page. Before she died she had the chance to talk and sends letters to her brother and family. The time had come‚ she would be ejected out of the ship. The story begins with a girl that wants to see her

Tom Godwin’s short story “ The Cold Equations “ demonstrates temptation vs reality‚ when the reality of something is not what is wanted but the outcome cannot be changed through temptation. A 17-year-old girl‚ Marilyn‚ had made a mistake by sneaking on to and EMS cruiser because she wanted to see her brother‚ that she hadn’t seen in years‚ who was working at the destination of the cruiser. When she got found by the pilot he had thought that the stowaway was like any other man and protocol was said

TITLE Bernoulli ’s Principle OBJECTIVE experiment is done to investigate the validation of the Bernoulli’s equation and also to measure pressure distribution along venture tube. INTRODUCTION This experiment is carried out to investigate the validity of Bernoulli’s theorem when applied to the steady flow of water in tapered duct and to measure the flow rates and both static and total pressure heads in a rigid convergent/divergent tube of known geometry for a range of steady flow rates.

or fear of the unknown.” Many conflicts that were presented during these stories triggered fear‚ panic and fright‚ relating back to the “xenophobia” the characters felt during the story. The two stories that I read during this unit were “The Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin and “War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells. I believe that H.G. Wells’ story contributed and related more to this unit’s theme. Therefore‚ I think there are many solid quotes that would reinforce my argument. During “War of the Worlds”

Chemical Kinetics‚ A Clock Reaction Abstract The purpose for the experiment Chemical Kinetics‚ a clock reaction is to figure out the reaction rate of a solution regarding its concentration‚ temperature‚ and also determine the effects of when a catalyst is present. The experiment resulted that the concentration‚ as well as its temperature can affect the rate constant inversely the outcome of the rate constant. By conducting the experiment‚ it is also discovered that the rate order of the reaction
