    943 Words  | 2 Pages

    4. Sensitivity analysis 4.1. Areas that required a sensitivity analysis According to exhibit and appendix 1 a sensitivity analysis is required for price and cost of raw materials. Besides, price impacts variables such as quantity of units to be sold and technical support. Price is highly sensitive, since chemical industry (Wonderpump´s customers) needs to be high cost effective to compete. Besides, average price of pumps sold by AGT in 2012 was 5.000, while Wonderpump´s price is 140% higher. Furthermore

  • Studying Processing Speed in Children With Specific Language Impairment

    861 Words  | 2 Pages

    A recent research study has concluded that the speed of processing in children with specific language impairment (SLI) is generally slower than that of children with normal language. The purpose of this study, which was performed by Miller, Kail, Leonard, and Tomblin (2001), was to test the generalized slowing hypothesis using a broad variety of carefully chosen tasks that were all administered to the same children, and to contrast the slowing of children with SLI with the slowing seen in a group

    is a negative aspect to the world. In this fast-packed society, there is not enough time to do the things that we could have been able to do 20 or 30 years ago. The worldwide broadband connection speed is constantly growing with the current average speed at 2Mbps (Akamai). With this high influx of speed, we would expect to see more time in the lives of people. Instead, we see people wasting time and finding ways to have more time. Google, for example, has become our silicon brain. Carr agrees, stating

    The Relationship between the Angle of Elevation of a Ramp and the Speed of a Ball Introduction In this piece of coursework I'm going to investigate and measure the speed of the ball rolling down a ramp. From the data that I'm going to collect I'm going to be able to work out the Gravitational potential energy when changing the height, the friction force acting on the ball whilst it rolling down, and finally the kinetic energy exerted by the ball. Planning Fair Testing Before

  • Investigating the Effect of Mass and Speed of a Moving Object on Its Stopping Time

    2196 Words  | 5 Pages

    Investigating the Effect of Mass and Speed of a Moving Object on Its Stopping Time The investigation is about the mass and speed of a moving object and how this affects its stopping distance due to the changes in energy needed to brake. Since I cannot measure the speed and energy accurately I shall change the definition of my investigation. The problem/task I will be investigating is how the mass of a moving object – a trolley, affects its stopping distance. [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Stopping

Police investigates

  • Investigating the Factors Affecting the Speed of a Car After Freewheeling Down a Slope

    3705 Words  | 8 Pages

    Investigating the Factors Affecting the Speed of a Car After Freewheeling Down a Slope Background Knowledge Sir Isaac Newton formulated three Laws relating to the motion of objects. A moving object covers a particular distance in a particular time. This is called the Speed of the object and is expressed as meters/second i.e. the distance covered in meters in one second. It is a Scalar quantity as it only has magnitude. If however the same speed is expressed with the object moving in

    state of steady flow. 3. If using this particular system and no flow velocities are being calculated by the system, move the laser slightly in any direction to obtain values. 4. Flow velocity versus the pump speed yields a linear graph with a R2 value of 0.99824 ± 0.00001. 5. If the pump speed is double, the flow velocity will also be doubled. Thus, ease of future experimentation. 6. The water tunnel is calibrated well and can be used as an accurate test bed.

    recent years. That includes trying to increase the speed of the cars at whatever means possible. The IRL was formed a few years ago under the direction of Tony George. He is trying to make the sport less expensive and safer by using different motors/chassis and slowing down speeds. Racing has always been about going faster than the next driver. It was about trying to beat course records and lap speeds. But if Tony George has his way, all course speeds will be reduced due to switching from turbo Indy

    The result is an electromagnetic force that sets the projectile in motion at speeds of up to 5,600mph. The amount of power applied along with the size of the projectile help determine how far and fast the projectile will travel. The current aim for the Navy is an EM Railgun that operates at up to 32 mega-joules and has a range of 110 nautical miles. How fast is 5,600mph? For starters it’s over seven times the speed of sound and according to CBS News(David Mar...

We do however know that they “land” in a body of water 114.5 meters away (assumed to be leveled) 6.363 seconds later. What is the speed that Team Rocket are thrown and what was their maximum height? Assume no air resistance or terminal velocity. Also assume anime physics (meaning everyone travels in a group and everyone

  • The Dangers Of Speeding Essay

    1047 Words  | 3 Pages

    Drivers who speed often do not realize the enormous danger they are creating. When someone is speeding they have a higher braking time and are often going too fast to notice all of their surroundings, and fail to take all of the safety precautions a driver should use. Road conditions play a large role in the effects of speeding. Choosing to speed can also get a person’s license taken away, cost a fortune, or both. Firstly, Virtually all current production vehicles' published road braking performance

The beach was right in front of us - white sand, crystal clear water, the perfect, paradise beach. Out of the blue, a speed boat come flying round the cliffs, which surrounded the beach, with a speeding banana boat attached, and about six screaming maniacs holding on to try and stay as dry as possible. So much for the quiet and perfect beach. Anyway, I got my belongings

    will investigate the properties of mechanical waves such as a longitudinal wave, focusing on the question: Does a change in the frequency of a wave result in a significant and convincing change in the speed of the wave? Hypothesis: Changing the frequency of the wave will not result in a change in speed because the wavelength will change proportionally as in theory. Student Designed Investigation Procedure/ Planning Procedure: 1.     Three students would get into a group. 2.     A Slinky would be

    the safe speed limit in a neighborhood or school zone, which in turn puts children at risk. Increased speed decreases the time children have to get out of the way of an impending car. Also, according to Wray Herbert, a psychologist who has researched why children are prone to getting hit by cars, “Faster moving cars appear to loom less than slow moving cars, creating a dangerous illusion that speedy cars are not approaching…. Children could not reliably detect a car approaching at speeds higher than
