...Grant (2012), has presented in Strings Attached: Untangling the Ethics of Incentives, a guide in which persons engaged in leadership functions could use as tool analyze in-depth various perspective as to how incentives and rewards are to be utilized to motivate a behavior that a person would not normally do under normal circumstances. A triad of basic standards of measurement has been developed to determine how an incentive measures up against ethical and moral standards. Further, incentives should be exercised in ways that allows for among other things legitimacy, voluntariness, and the character of the leaders and how incentivization influences the behavior of persons and the culture of the organization. I will present in this paper my experiences with applying new behaviors in ethical ways and how I and co-leadership partners intend to use and implement incentives as...

...The Simple Pendulum Laboratory Report Abstract The pendulum method is used for determination of the acceleration of gravity (g). The thin string used and a large mass reduces frictional effects and air drag. The long pendulum arm and a small swing about a small angle helps in the approximation of the simple harmonic motion. The slope of the graph was 0.23 while a graphical value of the acceleration of gravity was g=9.0824. The acceleration of gravity from the calculation was g = 9.7744. Hypothesis As the length of the string increases, the period (T) of oscillation increases Introduction In pendulum method, the period of oscillations is independent of the pendulum mass, but dependent of the square root of the string length. The simple pendulum setup can be used for the determination of acceleration of gravity value (g) (Cutnell, & Kenneth, 2013). The mass of the pendulum should be kept constant while the length of the string is varied. The length is the manipulated variable, period (T) a responding variable while the mass of the pendulum a fixed variable. L=lengt M= mass X=amplitude g = acceleration of gravity 1.

...After the class field trip to see Antes Manta at the flynn theater as well as getting a chance to see and hold the instrument, Chaichas, I knew that, they were what I wanted to make for my project. Chaichas, an instrument that is usually made out of llama or goat toe nails has a great sound, and to me is similar to a tambourine. This is an instrument that was used in almost all the songs played by Antes Manta during the concert that we attended. When attempting to recreate the Chaichas I ran into some obstacles. These obstacles include them falling apart, being too top heavy, and not being able to make the sound that I was going for. So when I took a slight break and tried again I had success. For the finally product that I have here today...

...Sound is created by vibrations of an object pushing air particles closer and further apart, formally known as compression and rarefaction. Shown to the left is a diagram of a sound wave; the high concentrated areas of particles are the compression regions which also are the areas of high air pressure. In contrast to this, the low concentrated areas of particles are known as rarefaction and here is where the lowest air pressure occurs and the wave is at its lowest point. The wavelength (also known as the period of a graph) of a sound wave is the relationship between the initial frequency and the speed of sound. It is represented by this equation: When a frequency (rate of which a sound source vibrates) is higher it will generate a shorter wavelength because the sound source is vibrating at a faster speed. Meaning more complete back and forth vibrations are occurring in a quicker amount of time, whereas when the frequency is lower the wavelength is longer. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz.) and to distinguish the frequency you need to know how many vibrations occur in an exact amount of time, for example if an object’s particles vibrate 256 times in one second, then the frequency is 256 Hz. The frequency that an instrument creates is based on the length of how far the vibration can travel. Meaning for an instrument to produce different pitches and sounds, instruments need ways to change the vibrating length. For a pipe instrument like a clarinet there are holes on...

...varying length, mass, and angle, that affect the period (Time) of a pendulum every 10 cycles. Hypothesis I predict that the pendulum period will change by the length you add to the string. The more length, the longer period cycle. Also the mass will not effect the period since regardless of how heavy an object, everything falls at the same speed. Finally the angle will not make too much of a difference since I do not think it is a big factor. Materials 1 M String Retort Stand Mass Set Meter Stick Protractor Stop Watch Procedure First of all, the retort stand was set up to create a simple Pendulum. The string was attached to the cork on the out most end of the retort stand. We attached our desired mass wight (100g) to the end of the string. Then, the string had been adjusted to its first height of 15 cm, measured using a meter stick. Next, the 100g mass was held to a 30 degrees angle, from which it was to be dropped The person with the stop watch counted down from 3, which was the signal to start the timer and drop the mass weight at the same time. Once 10 cycles were completed (mass weight reached it starting position), we recorded the time it took in our data table. We repeated steps 3-6, each time changing the height of the string by 10 cm.

...For the first step of our Rube Goldberg Machine (step a), we are using a pachinko board and a marble. Using gravitational potential energy the marble will fall. As it falls it will turn into gravitational force. To make the pachinko board we will need a nail gun and a 6”x 24” peice of plywood. For the second step (step b) the marble will fall onto a set of incline planes attached to the peg board background. The marble will roll down with rolling force and kinetic energy. For this step we will need three 8” pieces of pvc piping. For the third step (step c)the marble will hit a large marble at the end of the last incline plane using net force and gravitational potential energy. For this step we will need 1 large marble. For the fourth step (step d), the large marble and the starting marble will drop into a bucket attached to a fixed pulley. The weight of the marble in 1 bucket will cause the other bucket to rise using gravitational potential energy and net force. For this step we will need, 2 buckets, 2 pulleys, and string,...

...old instruments new life and energy. First, the stringed instrument to be introduced is Koto. The koto is probably the most familiar Japanese instrument in the world. In ancient tradition, a kind of koto was used as the symbol of music, one of the attributes of a scholar in the Chinese Confucian tradition. As thirteen strings harp, the koto has pillars, made of Paulownia wood, to support the strips. The strings are all the same length and are attached parallel along the length of the instrument. The pitch is controlled by stretching the string using pillar to transmit the vibration of the string to the body. Using picks on the thumb, first two fingers of the right hand, and the left hand to modify pitch and tone, Koto players perform in an ensemble or as a solo instrument. The left hand alters the sound in various ways, sometimes pressing down on a string firmly on the left side of the bridge to change the pitch of a string, or shaking the strings to produce a kind of vibrato. The string is made of silk, which in fact now polyester is mainly used in replace of expensive silk. Also, movable bridges are called koto bashira, which are placed under each string to produce different tunings when moved. The material for koto bashira was commonly rosewood bridges, but ivory...

...If you have not heard about a crossbow, it isn’t that difficult to understand the crossbow technology. The crossbow is made up of a smaller bow, like a longbow, which is then attached to the stock. Within the stock sits a trigger which is used to release the string to allow the arrow to fly. In order to load an arrow, which is sometimes called a bolt, first the string must be set back to the trigger or string release, to do this we use a cocking rope which is attached to the string and wraps around the base of the stock to be used as a mechanical advantage, then pulled back to the locking mechanism on the trigger or release. Once you have aimed the crossbow at the intended target, just move the safety from the “on” position to the “off” position and squeeze the trigger. It’s just that simple, easy to use...

...if the other person really likes you, and wants to keep seeing you and you both possibly evolve in a relationship, or if you are just a simple hookup. The article “Hookup Or Something More” by Marla Fontoura explained how a person could determine whether or not they are a simple continuous hookup, or could the person want something more with you. Fontoura stated that most hookups are involved with young people and alcohol. Hookups are also more private, and there are no strings attached. Dating consists of going out in public places, and getting to know someone on a more personal respective level. I believe Fontoura has strongly increased my belief that there is a significant difference between dating and hooking up. As stated by Fontoura, a person should start looking for the signs that will answer their question on whether or not they are a hookup or possibly something more serious. By knowing the differences between both, will help. As stated before, hooking up consists of casual sex, with no strings attached. While dating consists of getting to know each other more, and going out on public dates. This process happens a few times...
