Problem Statement: Some families didn’t want to travel overland to California so they took ships around Cape Horn at the tip of South America. Say a ship leaves San Francisco for New York the first of every month at noon. At the same time a ship leaves New York for san Francisco. Every ship arrives exactly 6 months after it leaves. If you were going to San Francisco from New York How many ships from San Francisco would you meet? I assumed that entering and exiting the harbor does not count

Linear Kinematics. Fielding a backhand requires acceleration and deceleration. The fielder must accelerate towards the ball and decelerate when approaching the ball to field it. Acceleration occurs in the first three phases of the backhand and deceleration occurs in the critical phase‚ drive phase‚ when the fielder picks up the ball with their glove. Acceleration helps the athlete gain distance between the fielding positon and the ball. This allows the fielder to get their glove in front of the

Application of linear algebraic equation for chemical engineering problem The chemical engineering system models often outcome of set of linear algebraic equations. These problems may range in complexity from a set of two simultaneous linear algebraic equations to a set involving 1000 or even 10‚000 equations. The solution of a set two or three linear algebraic equations can be obtained easily by the algebraic elimination of variables or by the application of cramer’s rule. However for systems involving

The article “The British PoW who broke into Auschwitz – and survived” by Jake Wallis Simons‚ in my opinion‚ was underwhelming and did not quite do justice to the actions taken by Denis Avery. The issue I had with the article was the lack of detail in various parts of the story. For example‚ while Simons goes into extensive detail about Avery’s personality and actions to get into Auschwitz‚ he glosses over other parts‚ like the information that Avery received in the camp. Only a couple short paragraphs

Tennessee Williams’‚ The Glass Menagerie‚ is a play that evokes great sympathy and in some cases‚ empathy for a protagonist who struggles to overcome two opposing forces; his responsibilities and his desires. There are many symbols and non-liner references that contribute to the development of characterization‚ dramatic tensions and the narrative. This essay will examine in detail‚ the aspects of the play that contribute to the development of the above mentioned elements. In Tom’s opening addresses

All Four‚ One - Linear Functions In the last activity‚ we talked about how situations‚ rules‚ x-y tables‚ and graphs all relate to each other and connect. Now‚ we’ll look at how situations‚ rules‚ x-y tables‚ and graphs relate and connect to linear functions. A linear function is a function that‚ if the points from the function were to be put on a graph and connected‚ it would form a straight line. They are used to show a constant rate of change between two variables. A very simple example
