...closer it is to free fall. This means that there is nothing under the cart to support it and the only thing preventing the cart from falling is the force of you holding it up in the air, which means that it will take the most force. To conclude the closer, the angle of the ramp is to 90 degrees the more force you will have to put into it to push it up which means that you are getting more work done and thus making it more efficient. Experimental Design: A chair and a piece of wood served as the ramp. A cart flipped on its back with weights attached to it and a newton scale served as the object that had to be pulled up the ramp. The data collected in this experiment will show us how efficient the ramp is at different angles.

Some of the other members in the group needed to help me with the ipod, private property sign, and a chainsaw.

The ipod is the most important item because its filming the entire production of the Sweded Video. Without the Ipod, there wouldn’t be a film to watch. The chainsaw is with Tom Walker as he goes through the woods and begins to cut down the trees. While walking he stumbles upon a sign that is planted deep in the ground of the woods. He picks the sign up and throws it away as if the words “private property” meant absolutely nothing to him. The private property sign is present in this film because it adds more of a curiousness toward the viewer since Tom did not care what that sign said....

...An Analysis of Gender Roles in Disney Princess Films Jasmit Singh 213749361 Traditional and Popular Culture – 1900 9.0 Susan Niazi – Tutorial 6 Whether it’s the colours they wear, the activities they engage in or how they behave, men and women are known to play different roles in society. These established gender roles “are not innate or natural but a product of society”. Children, adolescents and adults all learn gender roles through the environment they’re surrendered by. One of the many huge influencers that help shape gender roles is media. Although “there has been a lot of change over the years in terms of what is considered appropriate societal roles for men and women, this change is not reflected in contemporary film”. The ideology of mainstream media continues to focus on the males being the heads of society, which in result, shows an unequal representation of the females. From an early age, media puts an image into young minds, informing them how males and females should think, act, behave and appear. In many television shows and films, one can easily see the distinct difference between the role of a male and a female. Often films are enforcing stereotypical gender roles where the male is seen to holds more importance in society than the female. Amongst many film producing companies, Walt Disney Pictures for decades have been enforcing stereotypical gender roles in their princess films. Though it may not be outright obvious, Disney productions play a huge role...

...Callaway Golf Clubs Term Paper Assignment Webster University Marketing 5000-02 Fall I 2010 Rashad A. Myers Executive Summary Callaway is a premium golf equipment company which focuses on increasing the overall experience of playing the game for those that use its products. The company will increase market share and profits by focusing on specific target markets over the next 12 months. Environmental Analysis Socio-Culturally, Callaway is affected by the fact that the majority of its customers are Caucasian and male. Further, this demographic is largely made up of male baby boomers, and this segment is aging rapidly, with many giving up the game due to health reasons. Also, children are not taking up the game with the numbers that they used to. Instead, they opt for video games and other sports. Politically, Callaway is not affected by legislation. Callaway is certainly impacted by what is going on economically. Golf is a relatively expensive sport to play with any regularity, when you take into consideration the equipment costs and green fees. One of the first activities that are limited is recreational spending in a down economy. The company will suffer if people’s discretionary spending is limited for extended periods of time. Callaway is affected by Legal and Regulatory forces because its governing body, the United States Golf Association (USGA) can make changes to equipment any time it wants to.

All legal permits are required in order to start building, and the tree house is expected to be child safe and weather resistant. As a team we have stayed under budget because we have taken into account periodic costs through our risk analysis. As a team we have taken into account tree structural issues and periodic costs could incur here because of using more material to either strengthen by reinforcement with more wood and metal. We have taken into account what tools we need and annotated them in our risk analysis with cost over runs. During the project we may need to purchase extra materials and tools prior to the building phase. We did a good job forecasting such a need, one of the reasons we are still in budget. The only thing on this analysis we cannot account for is bad weather, however we allocated proper storage and workspace for such an event. For this tree building project we took into account the cumulative costs of the project manager, architect, construction workers, CAD design software of the tree house, wood, flooring, windows, doors, roof tiles, paint, insulation, tools, and nets. The cumulative cost of the pre-construction phase is $4,460.00 which includes getting the right personnel, the materials, and the tools for the project. We have higher dollar amounts for pre-phase construction and building phase $10,197.50 because these are the...
