Introduction In Western culture, ancient philosophical studies have been rooted in Hellenism tradition what Plato and Aristotle contributed to. Their contribution has valued since it provided theoretical foundation of inductive and deductive reasoning that is essential to gain knowledge. During the middle age, a role of traditional philosophy was limited to theological discourse mostly, biblical studies. After middle age, the role of philosophy has reexamined by an influential French…

Analysis/Discussion: This graph above shows that different heights does affect the speed of a shuttlecock. On the x axis, the data is the height of where the shuttlecock is dropped from, while the y axis is the average speed (m/s). The height where the shuttlecock is dropped increases, as the average speed of each height increases as well. The result of the graph is shown that the line keeps on increasing even if it is not a straight line graph. These results support my hypothesis, which states…

2.24 2.43 2.49 Mass of Beaker 28.15g ±0.01g Distance(cm) 30 Height of incline(cm) 27 Angle of Incline 64.3ᵒ Uncertainty in Raw Data The experimental data were cited with varying precision ranging from zero to three decimal places. There were five trials for each substance resulting in 25 complete trials so the data is fairly reliable. Also the time that the liquids go from point A to point B could have been affected by how fast the time recorder realized that it…

was later sent on business outings to Egypt, Syria, Greece, Sicily and Provence. In 1200 he came back to Pisa and utilized the information he had picked up on his goes to compose Liber Abaci in which he acquainted the Latin-talking world with the decimal number framework.…

Modeling Periodic Phenomena: The Orbit of Mars Introduction Billions of years old, Mars is the 4th planet from the sun in our solar system and the last of the terrestrial planets before the asteroid belt. The planet neighbors Earth and has seen a plethora of exploration craft from our planet. Mars orbits around the Sun on an ellipse, as dictated by Kepler’s laws (which state that all orbits are ellipses). Mars’ elliptical shape is a lot less circular than Earth, due to its high orbital…

(Just divide 100 by 16) c. Convert 0.45 to a percent Percentage: Move the decimal two places to the right..... 45% Fraction: Put 45% over 100 and reduce it to its lower terms...... 9/20 d. Humanities majors spend an average of $115 per course on books. Mathematics majors spend an average of $70 per course on books.…

to time everything and ensure that the times were all the same. An a electric weighing scale was used in comparison to a manual weighing scale to ensure that I could have results that were more accurate as the electronic scale provided me with two decimal place numbers. Another method in which this experiment could be conducted was instead of using a hard boiled egg just the shell of the egg. The whole egg isn’t an exact representation of the teeth, its just the shell. The shell of an egg and…

I find it extremely interesting that most teachers were not able to give the correct answer to the fraction problem. Fractions may take some time to understand, but a teacher should be able to understand and implement a problem regarding fractions. Also, does putting a fraction into story form confuse teachers and so they are not able to put in the correct way? I believe that teachers need to make sure they are not getting confused with connecting the symbols to elements in the story and then…

against most earthquakes, however, earthquakes can get to be very powerful. An earthquake’s magnitude can be measured on a scale developed in 1935 by Charles F. Richter, called the Richter Scale. The scale measures in a whole digit followed by decimal fractions, so it can be read like a 2.3, or a 7.9 earthquake. The scale measure goes from low to high, with each whole number increase representing a tenfold increase in magnitude. Earthquakes that measure around or below a 2.0 can barely be…

An astounding amount of issues today cause varying types of controversy -ranging from legalizing same sex marriage to determining whether the second amendment should be modified or removed for good. However, one issue that has been slowly causing more controversy is obesity. Obesity is a rising dispute because people are approaching different ways on taking action towards it, many disagree on whether obesity is a choice, and numerous people are questioning the accuracy of measuring obesity rates…
