The two stories that I read during this unit were “The Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin and “War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells. I believe that H.G. Wells’ story contributed and related more to this unit’s theme. Therefore‚ I think there are many solid quotes that would reinforce my argument. During “War of the Worlds”

TITLE Bernoulli ’s Principle OBJECTIVE experiment is done to investigate the validation of the Bernoulli’s equation and also to measure pressure distribution along venture tube. INTRODUCTION This experiment is carried out to investigate the validity of Bernoulli’s theorem when applied to the steady flow of water in tapered duct and to measure the flow rates and both static and total pressure heads in a rigid convergent/divergent tube of known geometry for a range of steady flow rates.

problem solving? Problem Solving is a tool‚ a skill and a process. It is a tool because it can help to solve an immediate problem or to achieve a goal. It is a skill because you can use it repeatedly‚ like the ability to ride a bicycle‚ add numbers or speak a language. It is also a process because it involves taking a number of steps. Problem solving is a mental process that involves discovering‚ analyzing and solving problem. Reed (2000) posits that the ultimate goal of problem solving is to

Solving Proportions MAT 222 Instructor: Dr. Stacie Williams Solving Proportions Bear population. To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula‚ conservationists captured‚ tagged‚ and released 50 bears. One year later‚ a random sample of 100 bears included only 2 tagged bears. What is the conservationist’s estimate of the size of the bear population? Let’s make "x" the number of the total bear population. The ratio of originally tagged bears to the whole population

Discuss the seven steps in problem solving. Give a practical example of how you could apply these seven steps in making a decision and solving a problem. The goal of a good problem-solving process is to make individuals and organizations more "conflict-friendly" and "conflict-competent". Understand the interests of everyone involved so that solution(s) are satisfying to all parties. The seven steps to problem solving and effective decision-making are: 1.

Tyler Ferrier 1/15/14 ECE 102AA 7 Step Problem Solving: Car Suspension Problem Definition: The real problem is that the car is creating further damage due to the bad suspension. Creating a bigger problem. The ride is bumpy‚ the tires are wearing down wrong‚ the fuel mileage is poor‚ the engine has more strain on it due to rough driving and the height of the car is drooping down‚ causing unsafe wear on the inner wheel wells‚ while also creating a risk of a blown tire.
