Immanuel Kant’s moral theory can be best explained by comparing it to a math equation. Kant’s moral system will always hold true no matter what the circumstance just like how two plus two will always equal four. According to Kant‚ our lives should be lived according to maxims that can be willed into universal law (Kant‚ Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals‚ p 303). However the action regarding a moral decision is not judged by the consequences of that action‚ rather by the motive

as did Bunting in 1911. Greenwald et al. (1939) mention that this form of an expression for pillar strength was proposed in 1900 for anthracite after laboratory tests made for the Scranton Engineers Club. This formula is given as Where σp is pillar strength‚ σ1 is uniaxial compressive strength of a cubical specimen (w/h = 1)‚ and w and h are pillar dimensions. According to Obert and Duvall‚ this equation is valid for w/h ratios of 0.25 to 4.0‚ assuming gravity-loading

Reactions and Equations Science Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? Answer Magnesium is very reactive metal. When stored it reacts with oxygen to form a layer magnesium oxide on its surface. This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper to remove this layer so that the underlying metal can be exposed into air. Question 2: Write the balanced equation for the following

The Form of Structural Equation Models Structural equation modeling incorporates several different approaches or frameworks to representing these models. In one well-known framework (popularized by Karl Jöreskog‚ University of Uppsala)‚ the general structural equation model can be represented by three matrix equations: However‚ in applied work‚ structural equation models are most often represented graphically. Here is a graphical example of a structural equation model: For more information

Two Variable Inequality Katherine Courtney MAT221 Phil Le August 25‚ 2013 Inequalities are equations that can be used to determine not just what something could equal but what something cannot equal. It tells us what the relative size is of two values and if they are big or small‚ too much or not enough. Inequalities could make it easier to determine how much someone might need of something in order to make a certain amount of something‚ while also determining
