  • Results
  • Discussion
  • Conclusions and Summary
  • References

An example of a lab report is given on the following website:Professor K Samples (Links to an external site.)Lab ActivityPlease follow the steps given below to conduct the experiment:

  • This lab requires you to produce a lab report to determine “Velocity and Acceleration.” This is the “Title” of your lab report.
  • Read the relevant chapter on velocity and acceleration and add an “Introduction.”

You conduct this lab by connecting to the PhET website by clicking on the link given below (or where applicable through the embedded simulation on the lab page):The Moving Man (Links to an external site.)Attribution:PhET Interactive Simulations (Links to an external site.) University of Colorado Boulder  (If you cannot use the above simulation or cannot get to the website by clicking on the link, please copy and paste the link into your browser. If the simulation is not running, please check if you have the latest Java, Adobe Flash, or HTML5 software [depending on the simulated lab]. If you download the relevant software and attempt to run the simulation and it is still not working, please call the IT helpdesk. It also could be that your computer does not have sufficient space to run the simulation. Please check all the possibilities).

  • For this experiment, you use the “Charts” section of the lab. After you click the Charts section of the lab, select the “velocity” and “acceleration” tools (left-hand side). You can change the position, velocity, and acceleration values as per the scenarios given below and relevant graphs will appear on the screen. (Also, note the “record” button at the bottom of the simulation. You can select this function and run the simulation. Then, use the “playback” button to view the experiment again to note the time values for that scenario.) This information constitutes the “Experimental Details” section of the lab report. You must keep a record of the details information of the graphs appearing on the screen as experimental values for each scenario. These values form part of the “Results” section of the lab report. Now, complete the theoretical calculations of velocity and acceleration for each scenario using relevant equations. These calculated values also form the “Results” section of the lab report.
  • Now, you can complete the “Discussion” section of your lab report by comparing the values and discussing any differences in the theoretical and experimental values and any other information relevant to the experiment.
  • Complete the lab report by adding a summary to the “Conclusion” section of your lab report.
  • Submit the lab report to the relevant Canvas Dropbox

Lab ScenariosUsing the Moving Man simulation chart section, develop Position v. Time, Velocity v. Time, and Acceleration v. Time graphs for the following scenarios and use them as the experimental results of your lab report (screenshots or take pictures of the graphs or hand-drawn graphs with actual time values). Remember to explain the graphs, how to calculate velocity or acceleration, and what information can be gathered from the area under each graph in your discussion section.1. Constant velocity (10 m/s) in the positive direction for 10m. 2. Constant velocity (-4 m/s) in the negative direction for 5m. 3. Constant acceleration (4 m/s2) in the positive direction for 10m.4. Constant acceleration (-5 m/s2) in the negative direction for 5m.Please discuss (without using the simulation), the following two scenarios:1. An object is travelling in a positive direction and change to a negative velocity – discuss. What possibilities are there for acceleration values?2. An object is travelling in a negative direction and change to a positive velocity – discuss. What possibilities are there for acceleration values?N.B.: When operating the simulation, it is better to enter only the velocity or acceleration value for each scenario. Do not enter the position values, since this would change the initial position. You control the position value by stopping the simulation when the man has moved the desired distance.

Please answer each of the following BOLDED questions below. 50 words min per question on 1. a, b and c and 150 words on question 2. You can
label these in your word document and answer, you do not have to make these transition into a paper.
1.
a. Why is consistency so important, particularly in the first days of
school?
b. According to page 11, the three characteristics of an effective
teacher are:
1. Exhibits positive expectations for all
students.
2. Establishes good classroom management
techniques.
3. Designs lessons for student
mastery.
Which of these three do you feel is most important? Why?
c. Page 20 states, “You will be immediately expected to
perform your full complement of duties immediately while learning them at the
same
time.” How do you feel about this?

Discussion on Process of Automation in China.

/in /by

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Process of Automation in China. Your paper should be a minimum of 3750 words in length. Technologies such as cloud-computing solutions and mobile communication technologies to enhance communication between employees working in different units. Flexible manufacturing processes are also expected to become popular in the BRIC economies. This paper examines the automation industry in China and the factors influencing the adoption of the automation systems in the country.

For long, China has provided firms with cheap labour and adequate resources. The country is also the largest recipient of the FDI, and several factors make the country a suitable destination for investment capital. According to Fox (2012), these factors include well developed infrastructure, availability of labour, and adequate workforce skills. In addition, lower transaction costs mean that the investors are able to attain high returns on their investment. However, in the recent past, the workers in the country have been agitating for better wages, and in response firms have started automating their production processes. According to the available statistics, the labour costs in China have increased by 12.3%, while the cost of raw materials is already going up (Nolan, 2014). Automation of the industries is also being driven by the need to produce quality products. Companies want to compete with foreign countries, and ensure consistent production of goods.

According to Sultan (2012), the automation of Chinese factories is happening at a very fast rate, and already companies such as Foxconn have adopted the new technology. Foxconn is one the largest producers of phone products in the country, and due to bad publicity it has decided to introduce over one million robots in its factories. The extent of the practice is well captured in an article titled, analysis: robots lift China’s factories to new heights. According to Christensen (2012), the Great Wall Company in china has also introduced giant orange robots.

Discuss The Music of America.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on The Music of America. Your paper should be a minimum of 2000 words in length. During the time African slaves were brought to the United States, these slaves preserved much of their culture. The city of New Orleans in Louisiana had a “population of white settlers, black slaves, and mixed race, most notably the descendants of French and Spanish settlers and blacks known as the Creoles.” (The Story of Music Vol. 5 1) Plantation slaves meet at the Congo Square where they dance to African drumming. Even after the time, slavery was abolished during the Civil War, the Congo Square remained to be the favorite meeting venue to perform African rhythm which was soon picked up by other local bands. “They were black bands made up of freed slaves and house servants throughout the South.” (The Story of Music Vol. 5 2) New Orleans then became the birthplace of jazz being the most prolific ground for the expression of black music. One facet is their musical culture, including rhythms, songs, and dances, wherein African Americans were introduced to the European and white popular music. Likewise, European Americans were introduced to the “off-beat” rhythms and various pitches used in the African melody. For that reason, the development of jazz which became the most important music genres of the 20th century came into being. Jazz is said to be America’s greatest contribution to music. Its impact on American society has been massive and its influence on world culture has been far-reaching. “Its message has been direct, vital, and immediate, enabling it to hurdle cultural.&nbsp.The “twang” of a hunter’s bow may have given people the idea that strings are also sources of pleasing sounds and if given different tensions would also create a variety of pitches.&nbsp. This inspiration would eventually lead to the stretched strings of the violin family.&nbsp.
