...Unit 8 Assignment 1 20. Because the magnetic force which deflects the electrons is defined by F = q * v x B (v x B is the cross product of the 2 vectors), so: The force vector would always be perpendicular to both the v and B vectors. Since the force is perpendicular to the electron's velocity vector, and thus the path of the electrons, the work done by the field on the electrons is 0, because W = F*d*cos(theta), and theta=90 degrees, therefore cos(theta)=0, and W=0 If W = 0 then there is no change in the kinetic energy of the electrons, thus their speed remains constant; the acceleration provided by the magnetic field was used only to change the direction. 31. Well, it depends upon the Sensitivity setting of the metal detector. As it is clear, the threshold value of the metal detector's sensitivity can be adjusted to suit various needs. so it is obviously set to discard small variations caused by a very small pieces of metal. 34. Yes, There is nothing seperately as a DC motor or DC generator. It is simply a DC machine. It acts either as a motor or a generator depending on the input. If the input is mechanical energy, the output is electrical : this is generator action If the input is electrical, the output is mechanical torque: this is motoring action 48. when you step up the voltage with transformers you lose current. It is a trade off and motors are not 100% effective so you would have a power loss. Unit 2 Assignment 1 8. when your car...

...COURSE CODE: THE 205 LECTURER: REV. F AMOLO ASSIGNMENT: THE CHURCH AS THE NEW ISRAEL & THE RELEVANCE OF THE CHURCH RUTO KORIR-12S03EBT004 The “Church” has been in existence for quite a number of centuries, in the book of Acts we see the fellowship of believers coming together in unity “They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer… Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their numbers daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:42 & 46). This illustrates to us that the body of Christ came into existence a little while after he had resurrected into heaven. The church has been described in a number of ways, some in their lack of understanding have described the church as a piece of real estate or just a building where individuals hold their religious masses. But in truth the church is a community of those who believe that Jesus Christ is their Lord and saviour, the church is composed of those who have a common faith and belief. Others have gone on to describe the church as a body, a family, the New Israel and the body of Christ. It has also been described as the spiritual reflection of the society and humanity as a whole. Churches can exist in small and local communities ranging from small to large congregation and the church is...

...ENGLISH 106 1 Narrative Essay Unit 1, Assignment 1 Jeffrey Wayne Van Egeren ENGLISH 106 2 Document Contents This document contains the author’s narrative essay involving the topic chosen for a thesis statement. The thesis statement will be on the subject “A Family Reunion”. The final page holds an outline used to perform this essay. ENGLISH 106 3 A Family Reunion With this assignment, I have chosen “A Family Reunion” to incorporate within my thesis statement. I believe that this topic is best suited for me because my family has never had a happy or joyous reunion that I can remember. The disease of alcoholism runs very deep within the family history, and for that reason, I grew up in a very dysfunctional family setting. With that being stated, I will begin by saying, “Family Reunions are nothing but chaos, arguments, and showing off. Nothing enjoyable or happily memorable ever arises from having times put aside for this said occasion.” My parents were divorced when I was only 4 years old and to this day I still see the burnt images of their final argument instilled within my mind. My mother, rest her soul, had done what she could for our family, regardless of the fact that my father had given absolutely no support for the 9 children. I remember seeing my father, maybe twice, within...

...but they still manage to do them, either intentionally or unintentionally. Therefore, in reminding them, some ground rules and peer assessment should be adapted in each group. Keywords: free-rider, teamwork, miscommunication, and time management. INTRODUCTION Organizational behavior is the study of individuals and the behaviors they have within an organization and in a workplace setting. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management (Organizational Behavior Introduction, Catherwood Library). Group behavior is a part of the organizational behavior in which it falls under the interdiciplinary field of sociolagy, how individual work in small or large groups. Group behaviour differs from mass actions which refers to people behaving similarly on a more global scale while group behaviour refers usually to people in one place and having a coordinated behaviors. The members in a group should each be interdependence (depends on other member’s output as well), have social interaction (there should either be verbal or non-verbal communication), have a perception of a group ( agreeing that they are a part of a group) and mush have common in purpose (to achieve the same goal). Working in groups have their advantages, one of them being, having a...

That was the feelings by one of the worlds foremost experts on the subject of Ethics, Immanuel Kant. To Kant, something was either wrong or right; there were no in-between or grey areas. This type of wrong or right thinking is a far cry from today's standard college student's ethic which is based on postmodern thought. In postmodernism there are no absolutes; wrong or right is arbitrary and your truth may very well not be my truth. With postmodernism as mainstream as it is on campus. It is no wonder colleges and universities are plagued by the problem of academic honesty (Sidorkin, 2011). No matter what one's personal ethic may be. It is imperative one adopt Kant's view when dealing with Northcenteral's Mission...

...24 April 2010 Philosophy 1010 Assignment 3 Descartes theory of doubt rest on the Latin phrase Cogito Ergo Sum. Translated into English the phrase means “I think, therefore I am”. This theory hinges on what is real and what is false; and mimics the branch of philosophy called Metaphysics. Metaphysics questions the reality of environment as does the method of doubt. Descartes skepticism (method of doubt) is termed methodological, because it presents a process which is used to deduce information to arrive at appropriate conclusions which determines or distinguishes reality from fantasy or a state of confusion. Descartes believed that some outcomes were very clear. He provided an analogy utilizing numbers. With numbers there is a pure outcome once the formula is applied or understood correctly. However, with environment or physical movement it becomes difficult to predict the end result. Therefore, to gain a better understanding of reality, Descartes formulates the theory of doubt and creates a check list of three requirements which must be indubitable fulfilled when applied to the method of doubt. The three requirements are 1) impossibility to doubt – meaning something is absolute 2) independent certainty – a theory which cannot be supported by another and 3) an item which exists so that data can be deduced to confirm existence. “Thinking includes doubting, understanding, denying, willing, refusing, and feeling” all key components in analytic phases of questioning surroundings...

...| Zara–Rapid Fire Fulfillment | Unit 1 Assignment 1 | | | Capella University | 1/18/2015 | | Abstract This paper explores the case of Zara–Rapid Fire Fulfillment from research conducted in textbook and on website. Keywords: Supply Chain, Supply Chain Management Zara-Rapid Fire Fulfillment Zara is a company that is known for its speed and being responsive over the cost. While this is not how the industry looks at producing clothing in the marketplace, it has worked very successfully for Zara. Amancio Ortega founded Zara in 1975 with the purpose of understanding the world market and what it means to his fashion merchandise. Ten years after he established Zara, he formed a parent company called Inditex which incorporates other retail concepts and suppliers that he built. Zara began in Spain as a small shop near his factory as he was desperate to find out not to go bankrupt when a buyer backed out of an order that had all of his capital tied up and no prospective buyers in sight. This was the beginning of Zara which is now in 86 countries across the world. The Zara brand is known for the delivery small batches of clothes quickly to the stores. In some cases, this may mean a store will receive new garment orders more than once a week. This does not seem feasible to the clothing industry competitors; however, Zara has been doing this for decades successfully with large profits. The key to this is Zara’s supply chain. Zara controls more...

...Case Study: The Forgotten Member Kristin Kovar GM591 – Leadership and Organizational Behavior Dr. Anne Hallcom Part 1 Group Development: The group is currently in the norming stage. The first meeting the group went through the forming stage by introducing themselves and talking about their schedules. They joked around and had a good time and started to bond together. They worked through some dysfunctional issues during the next week or two when Mike became upset that he felt excluded from the group. The group is starting to come together and function well together except for Mike. All members of the group are doing their share of the work and helping each other out but Mike is still not pulling his own weight and seems to be distant from the group. I think he feels resentment towards the group because they are close and working well together but he feels like they are excluding him so he isn’t pulling his own weight to get back at them. If Mike were more integrated into the group and working well with them, I would say the group is in the performing stage but this won’t happen until the group comes together to make Mike apart of the group and Mike contributes more to the group. If Christine understood the stages of team development, she could have led the group to become a high performance team. She had many opportunities to make this happen. The first opportunity was in the initial meeting when the group was determining the best times to meet. Mike told the group...

...Background In 1995, John Chambers joined Cisco Systems as president and CEO. After six years under the supervision of Chambers, the company went from generating $2.2 billion in annual sales to $22.3 billion. As a result of the market downturn in 2001, the company suffered its first loss and laid off 18% of its workforce. Chambers quickly realized Cisco was in need of significant organizational restructuring if Cisco were to survive and thrive the downtown. This change shifted the company from a decentralized firm that only focused its three work silos of Marketing, Engineering and Sales to segregated and specific customer groups to a centralized firm that focused on collaboration and relevant technologies for given customer groups. This shift in organizational restructuring significantly reduced product and resource redundancies – a major contributing success factor for Cisco’s market position today. The Problem The implementation of the cross-functional business councils greatly strengthened both Cisco’s competitive position as well as their organizational culture. However, Cisco now faces the problem of how to sustain and implement the new internal governance system across new and expanding business lines within the company in addition to maintaining the new collaborative culture while retaining its customer-centricity focus. Adjustments will need to be made to ensure that systems can be scaled to address new market transitions. The three councils that were originally...

This major helps student expands their knowledge and social skills revolving around sports, events and tourism. In this essay you will see comparisons and direct quotes from Mark Edmundson, Michael S. Roth, and James Baldwin. I want to show the connection of how important it is to find what you love and how money should be a factor in your undergrad study but not the only factor because you’ll be doing whatever you major in for the rest of your life. The business school’s mission statement for the program; “The Sports, Events, and Tourism Marketing program provides students the knowledge and skill sets to be successful in the growing workforce of the sports, events, and tourism sector. This program incorporates marketing concepts along with management skills to provide students with a diversified and competitive edge.” I was able to talk to a student who was studying my artifact. I asked him, “ are you in your study for the money or because you actually love what you’re going to do for the rest of your life?” he replied, “ I do like what I’m going to do, but I know there is a lot of money involved.” After talking to a student who was enrolled in this major, left me with the question, “ Is college about finding what you love or making a lot of money?” In class we had discussed the characterization of students...
