ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS MICRO - Michael Porter’s Five Forces Analysis 1) Threat of New Entrants: The toy industry is highly competitive. Further‚ the existence of established competitors combined with the need for huge capital investment‚ economies of scale and strong distribution network; keep the threat of new entrants into the traditional games industry is relatively low. 2) Threat of Substitutes: The highest pressure faced by Lego comes from substitutes. A substitute is anything which competes

Pre-lab: Newtons Three Laws of Motion: There are three laws of motion that have been stated by Sir Isaac Newton during the sixteenth century that are looked upon even today. The first of these laws states that an object will stay in at rest or in a constant velocity unless a force acts upon it. In simplest terms this means that if u place an apple on the table it isn’t just going to roll off. The second of these laws states that when a force acts upon an object it causes it to accelerate

discoveries that changed machinery forever. Newton’s discoveries are many‚ but the main discovery of the laws of motion severely impacted the Industrial Revolution. Newton’s scientific discoveries‚ opened doors for many inventions‚ technologies‚ and other major advancements during the Industrial Revolution. Sir Isaac Newton lead a life of scientific research and discoveries‚ and found three laws of motion that became the foundation of the automobile industry and began the Industrial Revolution.

if a force with the same magnitude at opposite angles would equal to a net force of zero. If we equalize all the forces so we get a net gain force of 0 then no weight should touch the floor or the pulleys. We then tested if we added an extra weight with certain angle. We found out at what angle and what weight would equalize the force. The dependent variable is the force we used to equalize the force table. The controlled variables are the weight we initialized to create an unbalanced force. Equipment

James W. Whitehead Mrs. Ross Pre AP ELA 1 December 4‚ 2015 Gun control should not be in force because it only affects the people who follow the laws. If weapons were banned‚ that is‚ putting gun control into effect‚ the people who follow laws won’t be able to protect themselves from people who don’t abide by the laws. The main purposes of fire arms is self- protection and hunting. So if the government tries to take our weapons away from us we can just throw the 2nd amendment at them and tell them

A place-kicker must kick a football from a point 36 m (about 40 yards) from the goal‚ and half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar‚ which is 3.1m high. When kicked the all leaves the ground with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 530 to the horizontal. 1. Does the ball clear or fall short of the crossbar? 2. Does the ball approach the crossbar while still rising or while falling? (a) From our equations of motion‚ the horizontal
