What happens when the irresistible force meets the immovable object? One of the more convincing solutions has been proposed by Gary V. Smith of Aston University. He explained it as so: “The initial step to answering the superficially paradoxical question of “What would happen if an unstoppable force met an immovable object?” is establishing what is meant by ’immovable’. In order for something to move‚ its position must be measured relative to something else that is not moving. The universe

police are using lethal force more often against innocent citizens even though some do not realize it. It becoming a massive problem in the United States and there has not been too much to help prevent the issue. Instead‚ when people try to get justice for the innocent victims‚ they get hate and told that they are just creating more problems. This is due to the fact many people do not want to view the police in a bad light. As a result some may say that the police do not use force as often as not most

December 2011 Vectors Math is everywhere. No matter which way you look at it‚ it’s there. It is especially present in science. Most people don’t notice it‚ they have to look closer to find out what it is really made of. A component in math that is very prominent in science is the vector. What is a vector? A vector is a geometric object that has both a magnitude and a direction. A good example of a vector is wind. 30 MPH north. It has both magnitude‚(in this case speed) and direction. Vectors have specific

Police officers are permitted to use deadly force while in the field if it is in defense of self and others. Recently the media has focused in on the police’s use of deadly force on African-Americans. Some high profile cases involve those of Walter Scott and Michael Brown. These are both cases in which police officers used deadly force on African-American males where both suspects were unarmed. Scott was killed by a police officer after being stopped while driving his car. Scott flies the car

affected in many ways by how the actual culture has changed‚ mainly because of labor force participation by women. Women have been increasingly joining the labor force every decade. From 1970 to 1999 the percentage of women whom have joined has increased by 60%(Chao). The increase to women’s participation in the labor force is because of many factors. In the early 1940’s many men left America’s work force and were called for war. This led many women to join the workforce‚ with the shortage

McClain 1 Kaitlyn McClain Professor Bates ADMJ 300 7 March 2015 Homework # 4 Deadly force is defined as the amount of force likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another person. In earlier years‚ deadly force was used by police in order to apprehend a suspect regardless of the crime committed or situation at hand. Due to many cases arising against police officers and their use of deadly force‚ the courts have put certain restrictions on it and have said only to use in situations where the

Acceleration Velocity Displacement Distance Time Definition 1. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Velocity is a vector physical quantity; both magnitude and direction are required to define it. the length of an imaginary straight path‚ typically distinct from the path actually travelled by P. Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are. In physics or everyday usage‚ distance may refer to a physical length‚ or an estimation Time in physics is
