In Newtonian physics‚ free fall is any motion of a body where its weight is the only force acting upon it. In the context of general relativity‚ where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature‚ a body in free fall has no force acting on it and it moves along a geodesic. The present article only concerns itself with free fall in the Newtonian domain. An object in the technical sense of free fall may not necessarily be falling down in the usual sense of the term. An object moving upwards

The Ups and Downs of Scientific Progress If you were asked what the goal of science and research is‚ you would most likely respond that they exist for the benefit of the human population. However‚ this is not‚ and was not always the case. Taking a closer look at the history of science‚ particularly from the 1950s on‚ revels that things have not always been all well and good. It cannot be denied that the world of modern science is an ever-evolving realm that has experienced significant change over

Just like Rome‚ the United States of America will fall someday. Just like every civilization that has risen‚ it will fall. To me‚ the fall of America isn’t a straight fall down‚ it will have multiple ups and downs. Here are my reasons why and how America will fall. One huge reason the great empire of Rome fell was because of the decline in their morals and values. Violence and crimes rose steadily as Rome fell. During Pax Romana‚ the golden age of Rome‚ there were at least 32‚000 prostitutes. In

Down Syndrome Diagnosing Process Understanding Down Syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities are part of health care provider’s job. While most babies are born healthy‚ it is important to know the likelihood of having a baby with Down Syndrome. Older mothers are more likely to have a baby affected by Down syndrome than younger mothers (1). In other words‚ the prevalence of Down syndrome increases as the mother’s age increases‚ to clarify‚ each year‚ about 6‚000 babies are born

Genetic Project: Down Syndrome What is Down Syndrome? Down Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder where a child is born with an extra partial or full chromosome 21‚ thus leading to the over-expression of many genes present on this extra chromosome. Therefore‚ it is neither dominant nor recessive. Down Syndrome affects about 1 in 700 babies born‚ making it one of the most common genetic birth defects in the United States. There are actually 3 different types of Down Syndrome‚ Trisomy 21 (Nondisjunction)

Patient Falls and Prevention in Health Care Patient falls are a significant representation of adverse events in health care organizations worldwide. There are several common risk factors intrinsic to patients‚ which include reduced vision‚ musculoskeletal disease‚ altered mental state‚ history of falls‚ and other chronic diseases. Health care organizations are expected to focus on those intrinsic factors as well as the extrinsic‚ which are those present in their patient’s environment. For example

Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth’s crust in the interiors of plates‚ e.g.‚ in the East African Rift‚ the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "Plate hypothesis" volcanism.[1] Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as mantle plumes. These so-called "hotspots"‚ for example Hawaii‚ are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs with magma from the core–mantle

Philosophy of Law Paper #1 Jurist H.L.A. Hart makes two points about Command Theory in his work The Concept of Law that shows it offers an incomplete picture of our current legal system. First‚ that we are not governed only by rules that call for action or inaction. Second‚ that rules of recognition‚ not a sovereign‚ are the foundations of a legal system. Advanced mainly by John Austin‚ the legitimacy Command Theory has become archaic with time as more comprehensive observations about systems
