1) Describe your major academic accomplishments (major paper, science experiment, artistic project etc.). The First place of the Water Rocket Competition: During the ICC- AP Water Rocket Competition, our group won the first prize as the one that lasting the longest in the sky. For this competition, we not only considered materials needed for the wings, the body, the nose and so forth. We also considered the length of the body, the shape and size of the parachute, how to put the parachute inside the body so that it can open at the appropriate height during the flight … All these factors we need to consider were critical in determining the maximize height the rocket can reach, and the time it can last in the sky. A paper concerning the ethical issues of artificial intelligence: When it comes to AI, what most people, including me previously, think of is the technical part of it. However, what now impedes AI into the prevailing market is the ethical issues that can arise during the application of AI. So some students and me, forming a group of five, write a …show more content…
Bahir assigned us a project of the water rocket. This project was one of the projects that we got the opportunity to actually apply our knowledge. For example, we needed to consider how can the water rocket be shaped to reduce resistance in order to reach a higher maximum height, or what material do we need for the parachute and in what way to put it inside the body of the water rocket so that the rocket can descend as slow as possible and the parachute can open at the right time. Of course the process of reaching these was not as easy the theory on our books. Thus, after this experience, I am more willing to put the theories on my books into practice because I know theories alone are not able to make me good at physics, chemistry, or other subjects in an authentic
It is important to look at ethical dilemmas in a systematic way, thus increasing the chance of achieving a solution that gives the best possible outcome. An ethical problem solving model taken from American sources (Paradise and Siegelwaks, 1982; Austin et al., 1990) was used to develop a six-step process to follow, in order to achieve this (Bond 2010, pg. 227). This process informs this paper, and I am in the role of counsellor.
During the course of living human being are subjected to many controversial arguments and ethical stations. Education in concept of ethical reasoning and in the fundamentals of the principles are important for one to be skilled in ethical reasoning. Ethical reasoning is a very important element in human nature of living either professionally or individually. Ethical reasoning offers critics with the capability to represent viewpoints, ideas and make judgement. Moreover ethical reasoning enable critics’ to consciously give examination for them to reach a solution that does not harm anybody else. Ethical reasoning can be defined as arguing the wrong and the right of human behavior.
Apply the ethical decision making model presented in week one lectures (adapted from Beemsterboer, 2010; Velasquez et al, 2009) to the case study.
James Moor wrote an essay on computer ethics, Mr. Moor noted three invisible factors associated with the application of the inputs and outputs of the programming. The factors are: (1) “invisible abuse” in this instant the code may have been maliciously inserted or the system does something else other than what was expected or intended by the user. (2) “Invisible programming values” this aspect involves the non-trivial decision made by the programmer which resulted in an important unintended mistake and finally (3) “invisible complex calculation” the process is too complex to reviewed and understood by humans to make review, correction or to validate the information difficult if not impossible. Another ethical issue with AI is there is no algorithmic accountability meaning that algorithms are neither bias free nor has any corrective measure built in for explicit
The water rocket flies really high in to the air. There wasn’t too much unexpected observations happening. Our hypothesis is more of the water higher the rocket flies, and greater the pressure, higher the rocket goes. Based on our data, our hypothesis is not correct. The rocket flies highest when the water is about 250 ml and the attitude is about 124. However for the second one our hypothesis is correct. Our experiment clearly relates to Newton’s Law of Motion. When the pressure pushes out the water, there is a action upon the ground and there is also a opposite and equal reaction that makes the rocket flies. So that more pressure will create more reaction. Also if the water
ethics? How does this apply to Knowledge, perception, and/or awareness? Explain in depth and detail.
3 2 1 blastoff a radio announcer says N.A.S.A has sent another rocket into space this is a great event but have you ever wondered how does the fin change a rocket’s flight pattern. The hypothesis of this project is If the shape of the fins on a rocket are changed then the flight pattern of the rocket will change because the differently shaped fins will cause the rocket to go faster fly in a different directions and make it go higher.
Wijoon, a writer at Instructables, explains and demonstrate how to build a model rocket step by step. He writes that “building a model rocket is a fun pastime, but it can be easy for someone new to the hobby to make a mistake” (Wijoon). Being that it is a hazardous activity, it is crucial to know and follow all the steps when building and launching a model rocket, in order to avoid serious injuries as a result of
Making the bottle rockets was a very tedious task, for it required a lot of patience. If my partner and I were to make another rocket, there are a few changes we would make. First of all, we would make our rocket lighter by removing some of the materials from the payload. By doing this, the rocket would be able to stay in the air for longer. Also, we would improve the parachute by making it stronger. To do this, we would need to tape it better and make it sturdier. This will make the deployment easier which will make the rocket stay in the air longer. We would make all of these improvements so that our rocket would stay in the air longer without breaking the egg when it hit the ground. Although our bottle rocket could have had some improvements,
Our objective is not to preach, but rather to raise your consciousness of ethical issues as the basis for class discussion. Consider now several situations that require you to render an ethical decision. List the pros and cons for each scenario, and then state the ethical principle(s) that most influenced your decision.
We cannot avoid ethical decisions. In fact, ethics is everywhere, in our personal and professional lives as we go about whatever business we undertake. It is there when we ponder large scale questions about our personal aspirations and goals, about what drives us forward or holds us back. It is there when we occupy our professional roles, and fulfil the obligations and duties associated with them; and it is there when we interact with a child or a lover, a shopkeeper or a bus driver, or when we engage in a conversation, even of the most casual kind, with a stranger we come across in the street. Ethics provides our moments of action and reflection with value and meaning. It sets the goals and intentions behind the application of knowledge. It is not purely rational, but nor is purely affective. It is the practical decision making context that may take its guidance from other modalities of life – including religion and truth – but may also in turn help shape their
-The protractor of the aerofoil connected to the lift and drag voltmeters was then used to vary the aerofoil’s angle of attack from 0° to 20°. Lift and Drag voltage values measured for each angle were recorded and calibration coefficients of 6.7 and 6.4 were used to obtain force Newton values for lift and drag. The lift and drag forces obtained for each angle were then plugged into equations (3) and (4) to obtain lift and drag coefficients. Equation (5) was used to calculate a theoretical value for the lift coefficient.
There are many experts who discuss the problem using different areas of knowledge. This essay will investigate mainly two of them: ethics and human sciences.
The SCRAMJET, simply abbreviated from Supersonic Combustion Ramjet, is the latest evolution of the jet engine family. NASA made the news with each test of the X-43A scramjet craft, so I set about to discover why this type of jet engine should garner so much scientific attention.
This paper mentions the history and early attempts at propulsion and the basic principle and theory of propulsion. Different types of air breathing engines like turbojet turbofan ramjet scramjet etc. their basic working principle along with their different working parts and the air planes on which these engines successfully worked are discussed down the path. Progresses made on historical basis, future planning for the betterment of aircraft propulsion industries and their major priorities are the highlighted areas of this research paper.
