This quote is from the novel Free Fall by William Golding. This novel was published in 1959 and relates to what was going on around those times. This novel has many themes but the most important one is coming of age. The style that Golding uses in his novel is a unique style. This being so because he doesn’t simply give it out‚ instead

Finding the Acceleration of a Ball Problem Statement: How does the height of a ramp that is comprised of two parallel rulers affect the speed of a steel ball bearing rolling down it? Hypothesis: If the steepness of the ramp based on the amount of books propping it up are increased‚ then the steel ball bearings’ speed will increase. Materials: 2 wooden meter sticks 1 steel ball bearing 5 workbooks A roll of masking tape A stopwatch A smooth‚ long surface (preferably a table) Procedures: Arrange

EXPERIMENT 201: WORK‚ ENERGY AND POWER John Michael A. Ramos‚ Phy11l/A5 Abstract The essential conditions to be satisfied for work to be done are: Some force must act on the object. The point of application of force must move in the direction of force. W = F x s. SI unit of work is joule. Energy is the capacity to do work. The two types of mechanical energy are kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. Potential energy is

Case Study: Toyota Acceleration Problem 1) For the case study‚ our group‚ The Socratic Triads‚ we have chosen to analysis the ethical issues that are related to the Toyota acceleration problem. The Toyota acceleration problem first came to the light in the media around late 2009. The acceleration pedal of certain models of Toyotas and Lexus were unintendedly accelerating without the driver’s foot on the pedal. It has been reported that the acceleration pedal has been malfunctioning as early as 2003

Toyota Products Liability Lawsuits Regarding Sudden Acceleration An automobile accident involving a Lexus (subsidiary of Toyota) vehicle resulted in the deaths of four people in California on August 28‚ 2009. Mark Saylor took his car into the Bob Baker Lexus dealer in El Cajon‚ CA to have it serviced and they provided him a loaner 2009 Lexus. While Saylor was driving the Lexus loaner it suddenly accelerated and he couldn’t control the car. One of the three other occupants in the car called

FIRE RESISTANT BALLOON: Materials - 1 matchbox - 1 candle - 1 yellow colored balloon - 1 blue colored balloon - Half a cup of water Procedure: 1. For this experiment‚ the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount

Argument: Acceleration is caused by two factors‚ mass and force. The graph above shows the relationship between acceleration and force as proportional. As the force upon the car in the experiment increased‚ the acceleration of the car increased by a similar proportional. This complies with Isaac Newton’s second law of motion‚ the law of acceleration‚ which describes acceleration and force as two proportional measures in the equation F (force) = m(mass) x Ac(acceleration)‚ also described in

DESCRIPTION The Centripetal Acceleration lab consists of using a pendulum bob swinging continuously. This will help see the F_max(tension) and F_(mean )(weight of the pendulum)‚ net force (N) and v_mean(velocity). RESULTS When starting the lab the first thing to do is to measure the cylinder properties (the bob) in table one. The measurements were: diameter (D) is .0815m‚ height (H) is .025 m‚ mass is .06591 kg‚ and the 〖Weight〗_theory W is .645918 Mg‚N. Second thing to do is to launch from

Experiment 2: IDENTIFICATION OF UNKNOWNS BY TLC AND MP IN COMBINATION Introduction: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is one of the most valuable techniques in organic chemistry. This is a best method of separating and identifying mixtures of two or more compounds. The separation is accomplished by the distribution of the mixture between two phases: one that is stationary and one that is moving or mobile. Chromatography works on the principle that different compounds will have different
