...Experiment 4 Projectile Motion Introduction We examined projectile motion by observing a ball rolling down then leaving the ramp, thus becoming a projectile with a horizontal initial velocity. We measured the horizontal initial velocity using the photogate and computer. We measured the horizontal and vertical distances that the projectile traveled from the end of the ramp to when it hit the floor my using a meter stick to measure Experimental Set-Up In our experiment, we used the following: ramp, photogate, steal ball, plumb bob, meter stick, and vernier caliper. Experimental Procedure 1.At the edge of our lab table, we prepared the ramp. 2.Exactly below the launch point, we marked a point on the floor by using the plumb bob. 3.We determined the vertical distance that the ball fell (mm) from when it was launched from the ramp and fell on the floor. We then entered this in our data table. 4.We positioned a piece of paper on the floor to where the ball would land. We put the carbon paper above the paper and taped them to the floor. 5.We fixed the photogate so the ball rolled out and the light beam was blocked and unblocked. The photogate was plugged into the LabPro Dig/Sonic1 port. 6.We opened up the One Gate Timing from the Logger Pro folder. 7.We measured the diameter of the ball with the vernier caliper and recorded it in the computer so that it could calculate the ball’s launch velocity. 8.We launched the ball from a specific height from the ramp so that the ball...

Cialis would be positioned in a market which was currently dominated by Viagra, an erectile dysfunction medication that had been introduced by Pfizer in 1998. In the following case analysis, I will examine the process used by Lilly ICOS, LLC to bring Cialis to market. Utilizing the Harvard Business School Case “Product Team Cialis: Getting Ready to Market” I will point out certain facts surrounding the case, and highlight key issues. Alternative courses of action around bringing the product to market will be identified and evaluated. Finally, a recommended course of action for the company will be discussed.

...David Domiczek December 11, 2011 Ms. Wagner A Long Way Gone In the memoir A Long Way Gone written by Ishmael Beah, it is clear that American culture is a pervasive theme in the author’s life. There are many examples in the memoir that show how Ishmael us influenced by Western culture such as the movies and music. There are also many parts in the memoir in which Ishmael’s life is saved by the American culture. An example of this can be seen in chapter 6, when Ishmael is captured by some village guards. As the village people shouted for Ishmael and his friends to be drowned in the river, one of the guards found a rap cassette in Ishmael’s pocket. The chief of the village questioned where Ishmael had gotten that kind of foreign music. He responded by saying he and his friends rapped and were also in a dancing group (p. 38). This is one example of how music and American culture was a theme and how it saved Ishmaels life. There is also another time in which Ishmael is captured by village leaders and was stuck between life and death. Luckily they found his rap cassette and the chief watched as he made Ishmael dance and mime the songs “O.P.P” and “I Need Love.” The chief of the village explained to everyone that is was all a misunderstanding and that Ishmael and his friends were just children looking for safety (p. 68). Western American culture also helped Ishmael and his friends cope with the war and survive as a child soldier...
