Case Study: Toyota Acceleration Problem 1) For the case study‚ our group‚ The Socratic Triads‚ we have chosen to analysis the ethical issues that are related to the Toyota acceleration problem. The Toyota acceleration problem first came to the light in the media around late 2009. The acceleration pedal of certain models of Toyotas and Lexus were unintendedly accelerating without the driver’s foot on the pedal. It has been reported that the acceleration pedal has been malfunctioning as early as 2003

customers who otherwise wouldn’t have travelled by air. 2. How do you expect Aer Lingus and British Airways to respond? There could be 4 ways to respond: 1. Start price war with Ryanair by immediately reducing AL and BA prices: unsustainable due to high overheads. 2. Gradual cost cutting (staff reduction‚ less customer service‚ less perks‚ lower quality travel‚ outsourcing of services‚ etc.) to bring pricing structure in line with Ryanair: without losing core competence‚ brand value and profit

Motion-Force and Acceleration The Big Idea: An object accelerates when a net force acts on it. 6.1 Force Causes Acceleration • Unbalanced forces acting on an object cause the object to accelerate. • The combination of foces acting on an object is net force; acceleration depends in net force. • Doubling the force on an object doubles its acceleration. • An object’s acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. 6.2 Mass Resists Acceleration •

1) Make a graph of resting heart rates from Activity 1. Provide a physiological explanation for fluctuations in resting heart rate over time. Discuss a couple of extrinsic factors that influence the autonomic nervous regulation of resting heart rate. The resting heart rate fluctuates over time because it is under control of the autonomic nervous system and the fluctuations are a result of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems trying to balance each other out. There are many reasons

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the reliability of the activity series of metals by testing in solution‚ confirming if the activity series was correct with its predictions. Hypothesis: It is predicted that the metals in solid form will displace metals in solution if located higher over the other within the activity series chart. Materials: 10 test tubes Test tube holder Metals in Solid Form 1. Aluminum 2. Iron 3. Zinc 4. Magnesium 5. Zinc 6. Aluminum 7. Copper

Determining acceleration due to gravity by three methods Purpose: To use three different methods to determine the acceleration due to gravity and see which is more accurate. Also to give us practical application and proof of the 9.8m/s/s law. Materials: Eraser‚ Video‚ stop watch‚ 2M stick Procedure: We measured 2M from the floor to a certain spot on the chalk board. Then we measured by hand with a stop watch how long it took for the eraser to hit the floor. In the video they used a ball

“Due diligence” simply means taking all reasonable care to protect the well-being of employees or co-workers. It is the opposite of negligence. To meet the standard of due diligence‚ you must take all precautions that are reasonable in the circumstances so that you can carry out your work and your health and safety responsibilities. The single most frequent cause of accidents in the workplace is failing to take the time to think through the work‚ identify the hazards and deal with them. Due diligence
