lead him to find out that light always travels at the same speed (which is 186,000 miles/second). Albert Einstein’s career, beginning with an extensive education through physical science, had a lasting influence on the photoelectric effect, Special/General Theory of Relativity and the concept of mass-energy equivalence. Albert Einstein was very curious beginning at a young age; he started studying the physical sciences and learning music. Born into a non-practicing Jewish family in Ulm, Germany…

In this experiment the main goal is to examine the correlation between position, velocity, time, and acceleration of objects, moving in one or two dimensions. Each and every experiment will be conducted under different conditions. For example, the first experiment requires a constant force (gravity) to act on the object, the picket fence. This experiments other condition is that we neglect friction. This object should be in nearly ideally circumstances. In the second experiment, the conditions…

led to several large manufacture mergers in the late 1990’s. However this was not a phenomenon restricted to the U.S. domestic market. In 1998 European Daimler-Benez A.G. merged with Chrysler to become DaimlerChrysler. Ford merged with Volvo and General motors with Saab. These mergers have consolidated the industry to some extent.

The importance of solitude demonstrated in “Frost at Midnight” by the feelings the speaker has, the time intervals from present to past, and the speaker’s…

for thousands of years the human race have looked into space and wondered what is really out there, thanks to advances in electromagnetic radiation detection it is now possible for humans to study the universe in depth to develop theories such as a heliocentric model of the universe instead of the earlier believed geocentric model. Humans have also been able to observe never before seen phenomena such as the effects of black holes. The national aeronautics and space administration (NASA) are…

The current environment for the American auto industry is very complex. In 2015, over 17.4 million automobiles were sold in the US, of which over 746,000 automobiles were sold by the “big three” US automakers of General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (Philipps, 2016). Getting a true understanding of an environment as large and complex as this could take months of research, but I will provide my summary understanding focusing on competition and environmental concerns.…

Cars of the 1920s started the age of the automobile which over time became faster, stronger, more fuel efficient and more reliable. Henry Ford plays a major role in the automotive industry in this time period. His model-T was and still is a very popular car.
