...The purpose of this lab is to find the relationship between acceleration, force and mass using a cart system. Equipment: • Motion detector • Pasco GLX • Cart • String • Pulley • Hanging Weights & Metal Cubes • Ramp • Ruler Procedure: Experiment 1: 1. Weigh and record the mass of the cart (this will be kept constant for all trials) then the mass of the cart with all the hanging weights on top of it. 2. Take 1 hanging weight off the cart and attach it to the end of the string on the cart with the other hanging weights still on top. 3. Place the cart on the ramp in front of the motion detector. 4. Set the GLX using the correct units for the y and x axis for graphing. Then measure 20cm away from the motion detector, place the cart there and start the GLX and release the cart from 20cm at the same time. Stop the GLX and the cart few centimeters before the cart reaches to the end of the ramp for precise data. 5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 by adding 1 hanging weight to the string of the cart with the previous hanging weight already on the string until all hanging weights are used and not left on top of the cart. Then record data. Experiment 2: 1. Weigh the hanging weight and record the mass (this will be left constant for all trials). 2. Add a metal cube on to the top of the cart and weigh and record the mass of the cart with metal cube. Then place the cart on the ramp in front...

...Anna Richey Opinion Editorial Dating vs. Hanging Out I met a guy in my class the other day and after some small talk we finished with “lets hang out tonight.” That same night a friend of mine introduced me to someone and that person called me the next night and set up a date for that weekend. Obviously the second person was ready to take action and had the courage to ask me out. There is a difference between dating and hanging out and both girls and boys value dating. Dating and hanging out are two completely different things. Young Adults need to stop replacing dating with hanging out and bring back the value of dating. The way my brother, Daniel met his fiancé is a perfect example of Dating. Dan is 27 and had just gone through a bad break up with the girl he thought he was supposed to marry. He had met up for conference with his friends where they discussed all their plans and trips for the summer. In the April session of General Conference, they stressed to young single adults of the need to date, find their eternal companion, and get married. After listening to the counsel of the prophet his summer plans changed very quickly. He decided to attend every FHE, Young Single Adult Activity, Dance etc and ask out a couple girls a week. He took out one particular girl named Tiffany to Airborne Trampoline Center in Draper, Utah. He noticed the blonde cashier on his way out and started talking with her (his date wasn’t with him). The rest was history; they are getting married...

...GarHanging Gardens of Babylon By: Katerina Gillian The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are considered to be one of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They were built in the ancient city-state of Babylon, near present-day Al Hillah, Babil, in Iraq. Nebuchadnezzar II ordered the gardens to be built during his reign of 43 years between the years of 604-562 BC. He built it to help his homesick wife, Amyitis, who was from Media, overcome her depression. She missed the gardens and mountains of her homeland. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon impressed travelers and historians in ancient times. Although they no longer exist, the idea of such a magnificent garden still peaks the curiosity of people today. Architecturally, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were an impressive. The gardens were quadrilateral in shape. Stairways went to the highest terraced roofs. The plants on these terraces overhung stone column supports. Arched vaults were placed on cubed fountains. The fountains provided humidity that acted as a form of air conditioning. The shade from the trees also helped keep cool the gardens. The garden rose in close planted levels to create man-made mountain greenery. The gardens were supported by a detailed structure of stone pillars, brick walls, and palm tree trunk beams. These trunks were watertight. “Palm beams were placed over with reed and bitumen mats, as well as two layers of baked mud brick.” All of this was coated in a layer of lead. There were fourteen underground...

...A Hanging Commentry The poem A Hanging has a very odd mood for what is happening in the poem. The poem talks about people in jail and an inmate on his way to be put to death. The prisoners do not show any sign of remorse after the inmate is put to death and gone on with there everyday activities, some even laughing and having a good time. The author uses many literary elements in the story such as imagery, simile, mood, foreshadowing thought and climax. The author uses these literary elements in order to provide the reader with a better understanding of the poem and to decribe how the prisoners handle the hanging. Orwell uses a bountiful amount of imagery throughout the poem. He uses the imagery to let the reader depict a picture and get a better understanding of the poem. One example of imagery in the poem is in the eighth paragraph "At each step his muscles slid neatly into place, the lock of hair on his scalp danced up and down, his feet printed themselves on the wet gravel." This quote is giving a sample of the tremendous amout of imagery in the poem. The imagery is present in describing how his muscles move into place in every step and how his hair flows and dances in the wind. Another example of imagery is when Orwell describes the hangeman "The Hangman, a gray haired convict in the white uniform...". The hangman is described as a fellow prisioner and it gives the reader the visual of the hangman dressed in white sort of like a ghost...

...The use of setting and speaker in the poems “Hanging Fire” and “Young” shows that growing up can be difficult for everyone. The differing settings in the poems show that things can be difficult regardless of your financial status. In the poem “Young” the speaker says “I was a lonely kid in a big house” (2). This reveals that the speaker is a lonely child even though they have a large house. We can infer by her house that the speaker and her family are financially good. In “Hanging Fire” the speaker says that “my room is too small for me” (14). This shows that she is unhappy with her room. We can conclude by the fact that her room is too small that she is not in as good of a money situation as the speaker in “Young”. The same type of speakers...

...In the play you could not tell how dramatic the hangings were at the end of the play. In the beginning the crowd was cheering on the hangings and all the people that were dying because they were being convicted as witches. The most dramatic was John´s hanging, it was actually so sad and no one wanted to see him be hung. The movie can show how dramatic the hangings really were unlike the play. The play did not even scratch the surface of these hangings. That is what is so good about the movie, it puts you in a totally different perspective unlike the play. When John was getting hung it was dead silence in salem and in the classroom also. In the end I think that the movie is a million times better than the book. The movie just puts you in the movie and you can really see what's going on and how it's destroying families and good peoples names. Especially with John and Abby, the trials and convictions, and also the ending with all the hangings. The movie was way better than i expected it to be I think it was so better than the play and it was unbelievably said at the...

He was especially interested in conveying the hints of seasons and times of day in his paintings. In this particular painting Old Trees, Level Distance, it looks as if the painting was done for a fellow government official the night before he retires. You can see the leafless trees as well as what appears to be an elderly couple approaching a pavilion. The artist uses shading as well as colors to show the appearance of mist in the painting.

...This was found by finding the frequency, 0.705 ±0.031 Hz, in which the Lissajous plotted by the output voltage and angle was most symmetric and did not lean to either side. This value was multiplied by 2 pi and yielded 4.430 Hz. The uncertainty of the frequency was found by seeing how much of the frequency had to change before seeing a difference in the Lissajous plots, which was 0.005Hz. The uncertainty for the driven resonant frequency was found through this formula . This value of the driven resonant frequency and the damping time can be then used to calculate a measured value of Q by the following formula. The uncertainty is calculated through the following process. . Therefore, the value of Q found by this process is 5.6917 ±...

...Review of Four of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World There have been many lists assembled from ancient times to present day noting the spectacular natural wonders and manmade structures in the World. The first known list of remarkable structures is referred to as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Ancient Greek and Roman scholars wrote about these wonders of architecture beauty. Located around the Mediterranean and Middle East, the seven wonders were: Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. This paper will review four of these wonders. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are thought to be series huge and magnificent gardens, towering over the city of Babylon. According to legend, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were created by King Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 B.C. ("12 Key Facts”). The king built these beautiful gardens to cheer up his wife, Amytis who was homesick for her homeland. There is no physical evidence these gardens actually existed, only the descriptions provided through ancient writings. The Greek geographer Strabo, who described the gardens in first century B.C., wrote, “It consists of vaulted terraces raised one above another, and resting upon cube-shaped pillars. These are hollow and filled with earth to allow trees of the largest size to be planted. The pillars, the vaults, and terraces are constructed...

...Art Timeline Author Axia College of University of Phoenix Art Timeline As curator of the museum I have been asked to develop an interactive timeline based on one art medium to improve the content of the museum website. Based on the criteria for the interactive timeline I have decided upon basing the timeline on paintings of Chinese nature and landscape to focus the timeline on an area of historic art that has managed to stay traditional while creating a new piece of artwork connected to its dynasty. Throughout time the Chinese dynasties have changed and evolved. The Interactive Timeline will take place during Classical Imperial China’s Song Dynasty consisting of the Northern Song Dynasty from A.D. 960 thru 1125 and the Southern Song Dynasty fro A.D. 1127 thru 1279 (Minnesota State University, n.d.). Nature and landscape paintings from the Song Dynasty develop a focal point within the painting that expresses the artist meaning throughout the painting. The artwork of the Northern Song Dynasty is defines as being traditional and conservative while the Southern Song Dynasty lacks the tradition and would be defined as drastic, often creative pieces of work that are unusual compared to what was the norm (Sayre, 2007). Continuing through the interactive timeline comparative artwork from the preceding Dynasties of the Yuan Dynasty from A.D. 1279 thru 1368, the Ming Dynasty from A.D. 1368 thru 1644, the Qing Dynasty from A.D. 1644 thru 1911, and finally ending with modern nature...

...DESCRIBE INSTANCES WHEN THE MIRANDA WARNINGS ARE NOT REQUIRED. The Miranda warning is part of a criminal procedure rule that law enforcement is required to administer to protect an individual who is in custody and subject to direct questioning or its functional equivalent from a violation of his or her Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination. Generally, no Miranda warning is required if the suspect is not held in custody for criminal-investigative purposes. A citizen not in custody who is asked potentially incriminating questions by a police officer must claim the benefit of the Fifth Amendment instead of answering if he wishes to retain his privilege. For example, at a traffic stop, Miranda warning is not required unless the suspect is taken into custody. When arrested and you invoke your right to counsel before making several statements, the statements then are considered volunteered because they were spontaneous and not made during an interrogation. Also, a prison inmate is not in custody for Miranda purposes because his freedom of movement is not restricted more than it would normally be in the prison environment. In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court held that the admission of an elicited incriminating statement by a suspect not informed of these rights violates the Fifth and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. If placed “in custody” for purposes of receiving Miranda protection, there must be either a “formal arrest, or restraint on freedom of...

...in front of many spectators. Elie describes that they have seen many hangings but none of them where quite like this one. In history there was no event to compare to the Holocaust, that’s why some say the hanging of the Pipel, the young boy, represents the Jewish people during this time. The next few paragraphs will show the symbolism of the hanging to the Jews in the Holocaust. Wiesel goes out of his way in the book Night to put a scene in our mind, a young Jewish Pipel being hung in front of thousands of his own people. He describes this event as being different from the many that he had previously seen. “I never saw a single victim weep… Except once.” (Wiesel 63) It was one thing for a man to be hung but it was a much different situation for a child. This in some way resembles the event of the Holocaust. Innocent people were being killed for an act that was not to be found at fault, religion. As the viewers came to the gallows people were morning and asking where was God. “For God’s sake, where is he.” (Wiezel 65) When we look back on the event today we my wonder the same things ourselves about the Holocaust, where is God? How could something so terrible and inhumane happen to so many people? Wiesel also describes the Pipel’s actions before the hanging. “He too was Wilson 1 tortured.” (Wiezel 64) He was beaten just as the Jews were in the concentration camps all around Germany. Then when the hanging was to finally take place the Pipel said no word. “But the boy was silent...

...Reaction Paper - The Hanging of the Mouse Jamie Moore ENG/125 9/9/2011 Julia Reeves The storyline in this short story is that in a town made up of animals, all of the different species came together in the town square to watch a criminal mouse be hanged for his crimes. The writer used animal names, looks, or characteristics to fit them to a part in the story. The executioner is a raccoon, due to the fact that raccoons, like executioners, have black masks. A praying mantis was in charge of the religious ceremonies, because ‘praying’ is in the creature’s name and prayer is linked to religion. And large brown beetles were the soldiers because of their armor-like shells. The writer portrayed the mouse to be very remorseful of what he had done when the mouse hung his head and cried with sorrow as he was being taken to the noose. In the third paragraph, the story states that during the mouse’s walk of shame, the animals of the crowd tipped their heads back and sniffed the air with pleasure. This was most likely described in the story because animals are believed to be able to smell fear, as well as the fact that people often put their noses up in the air when they feel like they are better than others or to show another that they are being shamed. The story implies that the mouse had done something very serious to be hanged for his crimes, but the writer does not specify what the mouse’s crimes were. When the King’s messenger, who was a very large and overweight bullfrog...
