Why It Couldn’t Be The short story Cold Equations by Tom Godwin takes place on a ship called EDS. The space cruiser is piloted by a man named Barton. He has an order of killing the stowaway who snuck onto the ship because the weight on the EDS is too much for the ship to handle. In the process of hunting down the stowaway‚ he realizes it was a young innocent girl named Marilyn. Once Barton understands what kind of person Marilyn is‚ he doesn’t kill her immediately because he knows her reasons were

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 how much more might be needed or how much be left. For example‚ if someone wanted to make cupcakes and flat

between two points using Pythagoras’ theorem. The midpoint is the average (mean) of the coordinates. The gradient = Parallel lines have the same gradient. The gradients of perpendicular lines have a product of -1. Straight Lines: Equation of a straight line is y = mx + c‚ where m = gradient‚ c = y-intercept. The equation of a line‚ if we know one point and the gradient is found using: (y - y1) = m(x - x1) (If given two points‚ find the gradient first‚ and then use the formula.) Two lines

Accounting Equation ACC 300 June 24‚ 2013 Bennie Clark Accounting Equation Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder’s Equity is the basic accounting equation. Liabilities are a company’s legal debts or obligations that come from transactions or from business operations. Stockholder’s equity is capital received from investors in exchange for stock‚ retained earnings and donated capital. These two portions of the balance sheet added together make up the company’s assets‚ which represent ownership

Basic equations of fluid statics | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An equation representing pressure field P = P (x‚ y‚ z) within fluid at rest is derived in this section. Since the fluid is at rest‚ we can define the pressure field in terms of space dimensions (x‚ y and z) only. Consider a fluid element of rectangular parellopiped shape( Fig : L - 7.1) within a large fluid region which is at rest. The forces acting on the element are body and surface forces. | | Body force

The Drake Equation is used to estimate the number of civilizations in the universe. It is more of a tool to use and help us understand and figure out how many worlds are out there. Each of the terms are being multiply to get the outcome for N‚ which is the number of civilizations in The Milky Way Galaxy whose electromagnetice missions are detectable. According to SETI website‚ the Drake Equation values R*‚fp‚ ne‚ fl‚ fi‚ fc‚ L are defined as the following. In the first part of the equation is R*.

Accounting Equations Paper ACC/300 Nakisha Susberry University of Phoenix Student 4/20/2013 The accounting equation is a formula that represents the relationship between the assets‚ liabilities‚ and owner ’s equity of a small business. Businesses use this to basically show what it owns what it owes and what its investors are investing. In order to understand these concepts it is important to have some knowledge of what is meant by each of the three basic components mentioned. “Assets
