The Drake Equation * The Drake Equation was created by Frank Drake in 1960. * estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way. * It is used in the field of Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI). * National Academy of Sciences asked Drake to organize a meeting on detecting extraterrestrial intelligence. Reason drake equation created * Drake equation is closely related to the Fermi paradox * The Drake Equation is: N = R * fp * ne * fl * fi

Cause and Effect on The Cold Equation In the story "the Cold Equation" by Tom Godwin‚ the author created a cause and effect relationship by having Marilyn decide to stowaway on the emergency dispatch ship that only has enough fuel for one person. Because Marilyn decided to stowaway she ended her own life‚ forced Barton to deal with having to kill a woman‚ negatively affects the results of the mission to Woden‚ and for her parents and brother to deal with her death. Marilyn’s last moments of her life

The Cold Equations This short story by Tom Godwin is a very sentimental and lesson learning story. Briefly‚ it is about a ship on a designated mission which encounters a problem because the pilot on the ship encounters a stowaway‚ a young girl‚ and every stowaway found on board must be jettisoned‚ it was the law and there was absolutely no appeal. Marilyn‚ the stowaway’s name‚ was simply a teen and all she wanted was to see her brother whom she hadn’t seen in over 10 years she really meant

velocity of the stream using Equation 1. (Eqn. 1) Where is the flowrate in m3/s and A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe. To find the flowrate‚ we multiply the flowmeter reading by the constant and convert from gallons to cubic meters as follows: The cross sectional area of the 7.75mm pipe is Plugging these values into Equation 1‚ we obtain a bulk velocity . With the bulk velocity value‚ we can find the Reynolds number of the flow using Equation 2. (Eqn. 2) Plugging

This article is about quadratic equations and solutions. For more general information about quadratic functions‚ see Quadratic function. For more information about quadratic polynomials‚ see Quadratic polynomial. A quartic equation is a fourth-order polynomial equation of the form. A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. Monomial – is a polynomial with only one term. Binomial
