HW #4 Chp 0 # 12, 13, 14 12) The motion of a relatively close object with a more distant background as the location of the observer changes. An example of a parallax would be the needle style speedometer gauge in the dashboard of a motor vehicle. When looking straight ahead, it will show you the exact speed. But when viewed from the passenger seat, due to the angle the needle may appear to be at a different speed. 13) It is necessary because it is very difficult to measure at that angle. 14) The
rotating on an axis. A pendulum consists of a weight supported by a string that moves backwards and forwards in an arc. Gravity and inertia cause the pendulum to swing down and up and out, and they allow the weight to stay constantly in motion once it’s in motion. (Beynon) In 1851, Foucault discovered the pendulum with a six and a half feet long wire and an eleven pound bob. Foucault theorized that the pendulum will oscillate in a circle 270 degree clockwise in 24 hours since the latitude of France
realized that by having the mass of the washers pulling down on the pendulum, gravity moves forward while inertia would strike back. The relationship between the length of a pendulum and how long it takes to swing back and forth ten times relates to the simple fact that the longer the string the faster while the shorter the string, the longer. This causes the period to be shorter or longer depending on the size. On the other hand the relationship between the amplitude of a pendulum and how long it takes
It can be extremely difficult to move to a new country. You do not have any family, friends or familiar faces and you have to start a completely new life in a land with a different language and culture. This is what Jean Kwok writes about in her short story Where The Gods Fly written in 2012. Where a mother has to decide if she should take her daughter out of her dance classes. Is it fair for the mother to take away something her daughter loves so much? The short story is about a Chinese immigrant

Yet, Dillard in her dream-like observations uses unexpected language to convert the quotidian into the cataclysmic, therefore snapping herself alert to the sector and to her very own thought approaches. It is the verbalizing process, as she herself notes within the bankruptcy of Pilgrim referred to as “Seeing”, which makes her a more aware, meticulous observer of the commonplace, an observer able to appreciate the strangeness of the sector. Through her encounters with nature and her use of language
Have they forgot us yet little lamb? Or do they still refute us? All still know us, but they try to dismiss us. Soon, we will remind them. But they still stay away, yet nothing can impede us. Hush now… rest. How old are we lamb? “Older than those who footsteps are long vanished” The weave and weft of fate guides the hunters to their prey From the bush the Lamb will wait, while Wolf begins to play. “Can you hear me?” says the Wolf, within his target’s ear Nothing satisfies his hunger like denying
Essay… For two years Thoreau wrote about how he lived in the woods with no internet connections he was just fine all by himself; also Heitman wrote about how if Thoreau had connections to the internet he may of had an easier and more simple life for those two years. Due to Heitman writing a claim about how Thoreau’s ideas and technology actually can co-exist, maybe they actually can. Maybe it would not be so bad if Thoreau had some connections to the world while he was in Walden. Possibly having
“ lamb to the slaughter” The title gives away what happens the word slaughter means the act of killing something for their meat,or when the police find out someone killed someone else and it was really bad and brutal they can call it manslaughter so you kinda get the idea that someone is gonna get killed by another person. when lambs are slaughtered for their meat they don't know it so you get the idea that someone is gonna die very unexpectedly. 2. three traits about mary in the story,one of them
Walden by Henry Thoreau focuses on the idea of simplicity. In Walden, one finds that life consists of many factors and they tend to burden themselves with challenging experiences. Henry sought out to find and learn about the deeper meaning of life. Thoreau felt that it was unnecessary to go through complex tasks to obtain this goal. He thought it was possible to simplify the actions he took and still achieve a fulfilling and successful life. In order to do so one must take simplicity into account
by Denise Levertov I was captivated. The poem spoke to me, after I first read it the way I interpreted the poem is a bit different than the way I see it now. When I first read the book I believed that Levertov was trying to show us how innocent and simple animals are, but yet how humans are not. I thought this, for she used words like guileless (innocent, without deception) and insouciant (showing a lack of concern) to describe animals. She talks about how the animals do only what they know to do,
could reduce the usage of paper towels, one towel per person per day, 571,230,000 pounds of paper not used” ( Smith 1). His use of this number makes his argument sound far more convincing. He uses these numbers to make a point and then demonstrates a simple solution and proves that it can work. Then he reinforces the idea by bringing the statistics back toward the end of the speech. His tone throughout the speech is light hearted. He does this thought the speech with many things. Such as when he says
“How vain is it to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” These are the words of Henry David Thoreau, an American writer during the mid-1800’s whose writings has now become a part of American literature. Most of the well-known works of Thoreau were based on true events in his life. In this time of age, some writers try to write extraordinary work, but sometimes it misses the mark, whether they did not quite give enough detail or lacks emotions, because they do not live life to their
Over the 5 weeks of March 10th - April 17th, I have been working on my Rube Goldberg Machine which is called the Ding Dong Bell Dinger. This is a Rube Goldberg Machine in which completes a series of obstacles and at the end it rings a bell. Building the Ding Dong Bell Dinger, was a very learnful and mistakeful project, but was really fun. This essay is going to be all about my mistakes through my Rube Goldberg Machine and what I learned from them. During the project of this Rube Goldberg, there
“There is no story that is not true.” (Things Fall Apart 141). Nigerian author, Chinua Achebe, in his historical fiction text, Things Fall Apart, emphasizes that just because a culture is unique does not make it bad or wrong. Achebe wants to reduce the amount of shown ignorance to anyone different and offer insight to the Nigerian people. He assumes a sympathetic tone to Umuofia by connecting his characters to his audience, the Europeans, and Western Civilization. Achebe uses ethos, pathos, and logos
reminds me that I am a natural being-- a human. As Thoreau stated in support of a simple, nature life: “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say let your affairs be two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand ...keep your accounts on your thumbnail” (“Walden”). I realize the accuracy in this statement after being introduced to nature once again; the complications and anxiety of society are quite unnecessary. Living a simple life in harmony with nature would allow the soul to truly rest in peace, because
like a revolving door; people come and go. The message of this book is how to develop a church that keeps people in the church (willfully) and closing the door. Not necessarily through a program or new things to keep people entertained but rather a simple method which best reflects the new testament way of doing things. Sermon-based small groups work because they are focused on linear programs and relationships. While spiritual growth is not linear it keeps the demand and expectation for everybody
James Baldwin once said that “the purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers.” Arlene Goldberg highlights this statement by posing three questions: who are we as people, what do we stand for, and how do we want to be remembered. In order to find these answers, one can simply turn to the boundless subjectivity of art. Often overlooked, Georgia O’Keeffe was crucial to the growth of American Modernism. Her techniques display perfection through her pristine utilization
