Mariel EXPERIMENT No. 2 The Simple Pendulum Abstract A simple pendulum is one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass and allowing it to sway back and forth in a place. The objective of this experiment is to observe the motion of a simple pendulum‚ study simple harmonic motion‚ determine some factors that affect the period of a pendulum‚ and measure the value of acceleration due to gravity by use of a simple pendulum. The materials used were

big lies that hurt. In this essay I will try to explain my reasons why I think people lie and how lies affect one another. I have two children ages 7 and 6 and sometimes I tell them little white lies so they don’t get their feelings hurt. For example‚ their father doesn’t get them when he is supposed to so I sometimes tell them he has to work. I don’t think this is bad because I’m saving their feelings. I do know this will not work forever; they already are getting old enough to know better. Sometimes

A THE SIMPLE PENDULUM • General Background: A mass m hanging from a string whose length is L and a pivot point on which this mass is fixed are what a simple pendulum (which was discovered during the 10th century by Ibn Yusuf) consists of. During the 17th century‚ it is developed by some physicist‚ especially by Galileo. When the mass hanging from the string is released with an initial angle‚ it starts to move with a periodic motion. The motion can be approximated as a simple harmonic

centralized versus decentralized organizational structures lies greatly in the inherent qualities and effects of the structures themselves.

Companies which wish to consolidate power and decision-making abilities at the top of the organizational chart‚ tend to be centralized organizations. If the CEO of a corporation has a particular

hierarchy composed of the High‚ the Middle‚ and the Low in an exceedingly flawed and callous structure. This system has been implemented in our history over a variety of ages and civilizations. More importantly‚ the structure has not been altered to work for any system except for theoretical Communism and Socialism. The novel 1984 was a shock to the masses when it was released‚ but by showing the class structure and political satire Orwell was able to present not only the danger of Communism gone awry
