Sling Length vs Trebuchet Efficiency Procedure A Trebuchet was made as per this video. A 15 cm sling was made, which had knots tied into it every 3 cm. The Trebuchet was then placed on the floor. The Trebuchet was fired using the sling at the 3 cm knot. The place the projectile landed was marked, and the distance measured. This was repeated 2 more times, and the average calculated. The experiment was then repeated for all the other knots on the sling (6, 9, 12, 15). The maximum theoretical…

necessary in life as we know it. Starting in the 1950’s, scientists, astronauts and aerospace engineers now had to consider adapting to the conditions of space. From a great decrease in gravity, to almost no air in the atmosphere, to even the near absolute zero temperatures, space requires great attention in understanding and adapting. Unfortunately, there have been many accidents pertaining to space shuttles throughout NASA’s…

Valuation models are used to disclose (reveal) the mispricing of securities. These models are exhibited(used) by fundamental(financial) analysts, who use information regarding the current and potential profitability of a company to measure its fair market value. Based on the results of analysis, financial analysts can then make informed, accurate decisions on whether to sell, hold or buy a stock. There are alternative measures on how to value a company. Quantitative tools such as the dividend…

MT: The scientific method is the best method for determining what the universe around us is and how it works, this is provable based on the amount of evidence science has provided for the claims it has, while other methods rely on “faith” which by definition means you believe something without evidence. BP1: The scientific method has led to the conclusion that based on what we know about the state of the universe today we can demonstrate that the universe must have began with a singularity(a…

The American Revolution was primarily a conservative revolution, because the rebels weren’t trying to create something that was new, unheard of, or radically different. The rebels were simply trying to restore things back to the way they had been before the Seven Years War. Even some British understood the logic behind the revolution and were not keen on putting forth money, time and effort in order to stop it. The British had been radically changing their policies towards Americans after the…

they’re being controlled. They think they’re happy until they realize that they spent their whole life doing what others said they should or what they were supposed to. Whether you’re Adolf Hitler or a contributor to the societal demands of a size zero waistline and perfect eyebrows, you’re taking part in one form of dictatorship or another. At the end of the day, whether or not a person is happy is all that matters, and if they’re not, it’s because somebody is trying to strip them of their…

The knowledge obtained throughout the course of life can be applied to almost every situation that is encountered. Though the knowledge not applied to an everyday situation eventually diminishes in value according to the title. Diminished means anything that is reduced in value, so any piece of knowledge that has not been used is already placed on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of value. So, what is the basis for diminishing the value of knowledge? I believe that every piece of knowledge…

Abortion: Thomson presents his analogy by first introducing a “famous” violinist who for one reason or another is terminal ill. The Society of Music Lovers, after scouring all the available medical records, find that I (you) alone have the right blood type to aid him. Without further discussion the Society of Music Lovers proceeds to kidnap me (you) and connects the famous violinist’s circulatory system to that of my own. Upon awaking I become aware that I have indeed been plugged into another…

these models have everything a girl needs and they want to be just like that. Eighty percent of women say models and women on television make them feel insecure (Rader). Women should not have to feel insecure about their bodies if they are not a size zero and they should not think that they have to starve or make themselves throw up in order to reach that size. Roughly seven million women suffer from an eating disorder (Eating Disorder Statistics). Seven million women feel the need to alter…
