When trying to figure out ways to prevent distracted driving car accidents we often overlook the obvious: the perspective of the texter. My guess is that most people reading this are not teenagers‚ the most likely group to text and drive. The following essay was written before the recent efforts in Michigan to ban texting while driving. It has been edited for timeliness and length‚ but all the salient points remain. The essay was featured on Traverse City Record-Eagle’s website and was written by

continue to be‚ the driving force of globalisation.’ To what extent do you agree with this statement? Globalisation is expressed in transcontinental flows and networks of activity‚ interaction and power between countries‚ irrespective of geographic distance. It establishes and maintains economic‚ political and socio-cultural relations. This interaction helps economies through growth in international trade‚ investment and capital flows. Some factors that have acted as the driving force of globalisation

If you saw her out on her own‚ you’d think she was just another happy-go-lucky twenty something. But if you get a chance to look beyond what you see right in front of you‚ there’s so much more to be learned. Getting up in the morning whenever she wants is out of the question. Her life isn’t exactly focused on just herself anymore. Not since the birth of Jayden

Centrifugal force Centrifugal force (from Latin centrum‚ meaning "center"‚ and fugere‚ meaning "to flee") is the apparent outward force that draws a rotating body away from the center of rotation. It is caused by the inertia of the body as the body’s path is continually redirected. In Newtonian mechanics‚ the term centrifugal force is used to refer to one of two distinct concepts: an inertial force (also called a "fictitious" force) observed in a non-inertial reference frame‚ and a reaction force corresponding

Why has Ebay succeeded as an online auction marketplace while so many others have failed? eBay was one of the first online marketplaces on the world-wide web. It was created as an online auction website‚ but it has now became the largest online marketplace that exists. eBay’s success truly created a pricing revolution by allowing buyers to determine what they would pay for an item; the result pleases both sides because customers gain control and receive the best possible price while sellers make

questions: force and motion I problem 1 The figure below is an overhead view of a 12 kg tire that is to be pulled by three ropes. One force (Fl‚ with magnitude 50 N) is indicated. Orient the other two forces F2 and F3 so that the magnitude of the resulting acceleration of the tire is least‚ and find that magnitude if (a) F2 = 30N‚ F3= 20 N; (b) F2= 30 N‚ F3 = 10 N; and (c) F2 = F3 = 30 N. problem 2 A weight-conscious penguin with a mass of 15.0 kg rests on a bathroom scale (see figure below).

While Bolger’s analysis looked broadly at police use of force‚ the analysis by Harris looked only at improper use of force. What is the difference between these two concepts and what differences did you notice regarding Bolger’s results and Harris’s findings? The obvious difference between the study of the use of force and the study of improper force is easily understandable. Bolger looked at a broad sense and didn’t leave out the use of force in a rightful manner which in my opinion led to different

In the past 30 years‚ Porter’s five forces model has been recognized as one of the most useful strategic management tools which can be used to analysis organization external environment‚ so as to help organization build up competitive advantages. However‚ with the development of the world‚ the five forces model has been challenged that it cannot be continued use to adapt today’s dynamic environment. This essay aims to challenge Porter’s five forces model and to identify the problems which hide behind

CEMB 121 MECHANICS OF MATERIALS LABORATORY EXPERIMENT (NO.2 (a)) SHEAR FORCE I SUMMARY Shear Forces occurs when two parallel forces act out of alignment with each other. For example‚ in a large boiler made from the sections of sheet metal plate riveted together‚ there is an equal and opposite force exerted on the rivets‚ owing to the expansion and contraction of the plates. The shearing force (SF) at any section of a beam represents the tendency for the portion of the beam on one side of
