Slope

“Let’s hit the slopes!” This is what everyone says when going skiing. Especially in my situation. It was my seventh grade year, I had never been skiing before, but I was ready to go. I had on my snowsuit, three different hoodies, a hat, a scarf, gloves, and extra fuzzy socks. Could I have been more prepared? In my head I couldn’t have, but hitting the slopes would tell me something completely different. My best friend at the time and I made our way into our bulky ski gear. We talked each other…

attempting to prepare myself for the sizable slope that I thought to be my impending doom. When I departed from the lift I turned my skis to position myself at the brink of slope. Then I tipped my skis over the edge of the hill with much initial regret. Throughout my years of skiing I had sprained joints, bruised limbs, and nearly broken bones. Despite my injuries, my goal remained untouched. I was determined to ski down the largest hill at Perfect North Slopes, Center Stage. For years I…

fallacy of slippery slope and Inductive reasoning. The authors had utilized the fallacy of slippery slope in their article to persuade the intended audience. Slippery slope is defined as a process which will prompt something unsuitable. It’s when an action of events…

total displacement of the car. In Run 5, the ramp had the lowest height of one textbook. Using the slope of the position versus time graph, the speed of the car from Run 5 to Run 1 was calculated to 0.439 m/s, 0.745 m/s, 0.786 m/s, 0.817 m/s, and 1.06 m/s. These data represent that the speed and velocity of the car increases as textbooks are added to increase the height of the ramp. Also, using the slope of the velocity versus time graph the acceleration of the car from Run 5 to Run 1 was 0.357…

The court has personal jurisdiction over Angel's Ear Ski Resort. In order to prove that the court has personal jurisdiction over Angel's Ear Ski Resort, the long arm statute law must be valid; therefore, Angel's Ear Ski Resort must have constitutional minimum contacts within Kopp's state, whether it is specific jurisdiction or general jurisdiction. Angel's Ear Ski Resort representatives visit Illinois once a year to promote their resort. Visiting a state along could be considered a…

have encountered has likely been the deep-slope roof. This roof typically looks like a triangle from a distance and has a slope of more than 18 degrees, that is the slope rises three inches for every twelve inches in horizontal movement. However, most industrial roofing is actually a flat roof. A flat roof does not have the same aesthetic impact as a deep-slope roof, nor does it provide the same drainage protection against water and snow; however, a flat-slope roof makes installing fixtures such…

Fig 6.0 There will be increase in the calculated permeability value when the zero slope line is shifted up and a corresponding decrease should it be shifted down as shown in Fig 6 Question 9 Semi-log plot is that type plot that helps to analyse data that is related exponentially, where one of the axis is plotted using logarithmic scale The following can be obtained from semi-log straight line analysis: a) The slope of straight line m b) Permeability product kh c) The skin d) Extrapolated…

said, it suffices to say Lahar is a volcanic mudflow. That being the case, for a flow to occur, there has to be a slope or a driving force, otherwise it will be stagnant. Because a slope is involved you would expect lahars to be ubiquitous in mountainous terrain. The best case scenario to depict how a Lahar looks like is to picture a mixture of concrete and water moving down a slope at a great speed (Waythomas 2001). Lahars are destructive and catastrophic as they wipe out everything that stands…

significant effect on metabolism. The results for the individual labs were interesting. When comparing Figure 1 and 2, there is a decrease in oxygen concentration and therefore an increase in metabolic rate. However, when looking at Figure 3 and 5 the slope changes from -0.0005 to -9E-05, implying a decrease in metabolic rates. This discrepancy may have been caused by different factors throughout the lab. The biggest concern with the validity of this lab would involve the dilution of the…

The p-nitrophenol standard was used to create the dilutions in order to create the standard curve. By using the slope of the standard curve graph, we were able to convert our OD values we collected during the experiment into concentration values. When observing adding enzyme vs. adding no enzyme, we were to make sure that took special precautions when adding the components…
