A scale model parachute will be designed and constructed to fall safely for the attached LEGO man to survive the parachute will provide enough air resistance to counteract gravity. One reason there is science in this problem is if the parachute goes to fast and kills the LEGO man to make the parachute go slower the parachute would have to be improved. Also, if parachute would be improved based on things such as how to make the air resistance greater making the parachute slower. Another, things…
Tillie Olsen, author of I Stand Here Ironing, writes about a mother struggling to make ends meet with her eldest daughter, Emily. Recently approached by a school administrator (one who has asked for a face-to-face meeting discussing Emily), the mother uses the time while ironing to revisit the memories of when she first had Emily and was left to raise her alone during the Great Depression. This was a time in history when poverty and hardship accumulated and became an economic crisis. The…
By witnessing physician-patient interaction in different clinical settings, it is evident that the physician-patient model varies depending on the circumstances. For example, a specialist consulted in an Intensive Care Unit is for the first time meeting the patient; the approach leans more towards the informative model where the facts are given to the patient or family members in order for them to decide what the ideal intervention or treatment will be, though the physician seems to be more…
do not blame her, it is hard work. The red ones were authentic. The chili that is used to make the sauce made me cry, I am ashamed to admit that I cannot handle anything moderately spicy, and yes I do know that I bring disappointment amongst my relatives. When…
friction. Friction is the force that resists relative tangential movement. Its direction is opposite to the relative velocity. Kinetic friction and static friction are two types of friction. Static Friction happens when the two surface in contact remains relatively stationary to each other. It reaches its maximum value before the start of the moving of the object. Kinetic friction is the sliding friction when two contacting surface are in relative motion. Usually, the coefficient of static…
For this assignment, I chose to use my daughter, Kaylie who is a sixteen-year-old high school sophomore, as the participant. Before starting the activity, I asked her a series of questions that included “What is thinking?”, “What is learning?”, “What do you do when you need to remember something?”, “What things do you do in your head when you are trying to study for a test?”, and “Do you have any certain study techniques that you use when studying for a test or trying to learn new information?”…
compare and contrast shapes. According to the Common Core Standards for Preschools (PK.G), through participation in this activity, the children will gain an ability to describe objects in the environment using names of shapes and to describe the relative position of these objects using terms such as top, bottom, up, down, in front of, behind, over, under, and next to as well as correctly name and position shapes regardless of size. In addition, by engaging in this activity, students will use…
three main directions: the doctor-patient, doctor-doctor, and doctor-patients relatives. Consequentialism states that the morality of any behavior depends on the overall outcome of the deed on all the parties involved. If a situation of terminal illness arises, morality dictates that the right action to take is the one that benefits all or a majority of the party (Smith, 2012). For instance, if the sickness of a terminally ill patient brings misery and drains finances of relatives,…
slopes produce high levels of soil erosion that results in a lost of organic materials and essential nutrients needed for plant growth. Along with slope is exposure of sunlight on vegetation that can also vary growth outcomes. Slopes facing different directions may have similar precipitation amounts but direct sunlight can cause soil moisture to evaporate quicker that then forms a dryer, shady slope. However other…
ions are rushed into the cell to repolarize the membrane. Then the repolarization goes passing through the resting potential of the membrane and hyperpolarizes. Basically in other words hyperpolarization assures that the signal is only going in one direction. 7. Describe briefly your understanding of how propagation/conduction occurs in an unmyelinated axon. I understand that the myelination causes all the channels to compacted in the nodes of Ranvier making an action potential appear to "jump"…
