the strengths and weaknesses of both views. The “Trolley Problem” is a short video published by BBCradiofour which depicts an ethical dilemma with three possible outcomes (BBCradiofour). In the video‚ a runaway trolley is barreling down a track with five unaware workers facing impending doom. The viewer is then presented with the first two of the ethical options which are to actuate a lever to change the direction of the trolly or to let the trolley run over the five workers. These two options are

Acceleration Due to Gravity Have you ever wondered why items always speed up when they are falling? Well it all has to do with acceleration due to gravity. Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. Acceleration can be calculated by finding the change in velocity and dividing it over the time. The equation is: a= ∆v∆t (“Acceleration”) Acceleration is also a vector because it has a direction. The units of acceleration are typically m/s2. Gravity is the force that attracts

between mass and acceleration Stage 1 - Planning Title: Investigating acceleration – How does changing the mass of an object change its acceleration? Introduction: As the speed of moving object and rate‚ the forces acting on the object‚ the mass of the object‚ and gravitational force of it might affect the acceleration‚ I will investigate about the mass of the object. Aim: I will try to answer the question “How does changing the mass of an object change its acceleration?” which is to find

The purpose of this experiment is to measure acceleration on a freely falling object assuming the only force acting on the object is gravitational force. Theory All dense objects in free fall have the same acceleration‚ which is known as the acceleration due to gravity. The value of acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.80 m/s2. In this experiment‚ a vertical stand with an electromagnet at the top for holding and then releasing of the falling body‚ called the plummet. The plummet

KAMIKAZE PLANES The Japanese word for Kamikaze actually means ‘God Wind or Divine Wind’ but referred to by the Japanese as ‘Special attack unit’. Kamikaze planes were suicide attacks by military aviators from the Empire of Japan‚ aiming at attacking Allied ships in the closing stages of the Pacific campaign of World War II. Designed to destroy warships more effectively than what was possible with conventional attacks. Exact numbers vary‚ but it is known that at least 47 Allied vessels from PT boats

Determination of the Acceleration Due to Gravity By A Good Student Abstract The acceleration due to gravity‚ g‚ was determined by dropping a metal bearing and measuring the free-fall time with a pendulum of known period. The measured value is 9.706 m/s2 with a standard deviation of 0.0317‚ which does not fall within the range of known terrestrial values. Centrifugal forces and altitude variations cannot account for the discrepancy. The calculation is very sensitive to the measured drop

Shiaa K PHIL 1020: Ethics Paper #1 Supposing I observed a runaway train at the rail-yard and if it continues hurtling in the direction it is going‚ it will kill five people. Luckily for me‚ I’m standing next to a power switch and if I pull the lever of the switch‚ the train will divert into a different track. However‚ there is one person working on this track and if I pull the switch‚ that rail worker will die. Here’s what I would do. I would in fact pull the lever of the switch to spare the

The Trolley Problem‚ originally proposed by Philippa Foot prompted a range of responses. More specifically from Judith Jarvis Thomson‚ who presented a variation and response to this scenario. One of Thompson’s adaptation encapsulates the notion of a bystander who has the option to either remain inactive and let five people die or to reroute the trolley‚ by means of flipping a switch that would cause the trolley to move towards the direction of the other track with one worker‚ hence killing them
