    LOTF Essay Could modern day society function without clear rules, laws, and enforcement of those rules? In Lord Of The Flies, William Golding uses symbolism and characters to show that humans need rules and enforcement of those rules in order to function effectively. Without them, humans naturally become savages, which leads to an unsustainable and dangerous society. The diminishing power of the rules, and the results of this is shown through the fire, the power and respect towards the conch, and Jacks changing attitude. At the start of the novel, when the boys had rules, their society was efficient and accomplished things. As they lose enforcement of their rules, society stops functioning; they stop building and adding wood to the fire. In the beginning, when the boys had clear rules, they participated in building the fire willingly and eagerly. “Each party added a quota, less or more, and the pile grew” (39). This quote shows that they were all enthusiastic to help out and build the fire. The boys had the same attitude towards most of the tasks at the start of the book, since they had rules keeping order. Later on, when the rules aren’t as enforced, the boys start caring less about the fire. “There was a ship. You said you’d keep the fire going and you didn’t.” (.70). In this quote Ralph is scolding Jack and his hunters because they let the fire go out, meaning they couldn’t signal to the boat that was passing by. This shows that Jack abandoned his duty, meaning he…

    Newton’s three laws of motion essay Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and natural philosopher who lived in the 17th century. One of his accomplishments was coming up with three laws of motion that can be used to explain how and why stuff move. These laws that Newton came up with are still used today. Newton’s first law of motion states that “an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it”.…

    This statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. Newton's Third law of motion states that for every action force, there is a reaction force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction. The catapult arm is pushing up on the elastic bands with a lot of force, but my hand is pushing back, in the opposite direction, making the catapult…

    Rocket Trajectory

    Trajectory and applied force both have very much too do with our rocket lab. Trajectory affects how far the rocket will get beacuse trajectory is a curved path of an object that has been fired or thrown through the air. This affects the rocket beacuse the angle of the rocket that is launched at is part of trajectory and the rocket was launched off of an angled platform so this affetced how high the rocket went before coming down. Another part of trajectory is how gravity affects the objects…

    table allows the puck to glide easily and certain forces are required to move the puck, stop the puck, and accelerate the puck. Also, for every force applied on the puck, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. The next few paragraphs will explain the science of air hockey and how it relates to Newton’s laws of motion. The air hockey tables are the start of it all. The air hockey tables make it capable for the puck to glide effortlessly across the surface of the table. There…

    Once you are almost at the bottom of the mountain before friction slows you down, you have hit your terminal velocity and the highest speed of kinetic energy. You are moving faster in this place than you are anywhere else during the ride. When you’re on your way to speed up the loop, you have a very fast velocity. In this place, you also have a large amount of air resistance acting on you due to friction and your direction. During this part, you experience high G-forces acting on you due to your…

    Lesson 1: Investigating physical forces. Learning objectives: Students will be able to investigate and explain how applying or removing physical forces of varying intensity can cause objects in their environment to move, stop moving, stay at rest, or change direction. Content: Wind/ physical force:Collected from http://handmadekidsart.com/wind-power-car-races/ -The surface area contacting the wind force will affect the movement. -The high speed of the wind will allow the object to move faster.…

    prominent physics concepts within our project was gravity and/or gravitational potential energy, which could be seen in places such as the inclined planes and the hammer swinging down. Gravity was the downward-pulling force that allowed the energy to be transferred from the top level, to the Roomba on the floor. The toppling rule was another major concept in our project, as it was integral for the dominoes and the inclined planes. When work is put into the machine in step one, the toppling rule…
