Suzuki Ltz 400 When I was 12, my Dad gave me my first four wheeler. It was a 2004 Suzuki Ltz 400. When I first received this, it had a flashing yellow paint color. The first ride is one I will never forget. The oil had a very intriguing smell. It also had a roaring sound. Not only is it just yellow, this four wheeler also has three other colors. The brand lettering is a matte black. The seat is also this color. The logo is a striking crimson red. A black outline surrounds a white zig-zag…
are many nurses and some of them put flowers and books in a row across the floor. Then they bring eight-month-old Delta children into the room. The children crawl towards the shiny pages and bright colors with excitement. A nurse presses a small lever, suddenly there is a violent expression with shrill sirens, which leads the children to scream. The nurse presses…
very straightforward (Jumper, 2012, p. 137). A bow with a lever arm is installed in the model car, and this lever arm is then connected to the car’s rear axle with string. At rest, when potential energy is at its lowest, the lever arm is leaning towards the front axle. This is the case when the string is not wound up. The car is wound up by rotating the rear axle so as to wind the string tightly and completely to the point where the lever arm is pulled fully back towards the rear axle. A…
CASE STUDY: GLOCK 17 The Glock 17 is a striker fired, short recoil, locked breech semi-automatic pistol with a polymer frame. Conventional pistol designs typically deploy a pivoting hammer in the rear of the pistol’s frame that impacts a firing pin mounted in the slide. Striker fired pistols replace this two piece assembly with a single linear spring loaded striker assembly housed completely in the slide. EXPLODED VIEW CONFIGURATIONS CALIBRE/SYSTEM:…
I will discuss the utilitarian and Kantian ideas on how they relate to the “trolley” problem scenario one and two. When a person is placed in scenario one a utilitarian would say the morally right thing to do is pull the lever to ensure only one person is killed and the five other lives are spared. Although you as the person and the family of the one person killed may suffer sadness. It is less suffering then you as the person and five other family and friends suffering. Scenario two is quite…
On March 20, 1904 in Pennsylvania, Burrhus Frederic Skinner was born. Burrhus Frederic Skinner, also known as B.F. Skinner, was born in a small town of Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. His mother was a stay-at-home mom and his father was a lawyer. While Skinner was a child, he found an interest in building different gadgets and contraptions. While studying at Hampton College, he developed a passion for writing and tried to become a professional writer, but he did not succeed in it. After two years, he…
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…
scientists. Skinner’s work and ideas what based on his experiments with the ‘Skinner Box’, but instead of using cats like Thorndike, Skinner used rats and pigeons which were rewarded with food pellets. To receive the food pellets they had to touch a small lever. From the results of Skinners experiment, he believed that after a person performs a behaviour there can be one of four different types of possible…
study aims is to establish an animal model of adolescent female rats drinking behaviour based on the consumption of alcopops. 48 randomly assigned female rats were either exposed to (i) alcopop solution, (ii) 20% sucrose or (iii) water following a lever press over a 20 day period. Overall alcopop and 20% sucrose group increased response frequence over the 20 day period whilst water response stayed constant. The study demonstrates the reward and reinforcement effects of alcohol and sugar. 1.…
