Overall‚ it can be seen that the Tacoma bridge collapse occurred due to a number of crucial decisions made by engineers‚ contractors and the government. The extent to which these decisions were ethical depends on the ethical stance being considered. Economically‚ the government favoured reducing costs as opposed to the safety and quality of the bridge. Similarly‚ the contractors accepted the contract for a design that they were not able to fully complete and had to make changes when constructing

Unexpected Arrivals All over the world there have been unexplained happenings that many believe to be other types of life forms. Do you believe in unidentified flying objects (UFOs)? People all over the world think about if other forms of life exist and there are plenty of files to support extraterrestrial activities that occur throughout the world. The government has hidden many documents containing these unexpected arrivals‚ such as Area 51‚ and many files were missing pieces of information

sum of the tasks they carryout individually. This is known as the synergy effect. For instance‚ the Canada Geese are migratory birds that fly in a ‘v’ formation. As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the bird that follows. The aerodynamic V shape formation reduces the air drag (air resistance) that each bird experiences when in flight in comparison to a bird flying solo. This adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone. When a goose gets sick‚ wounded or shot down

the gasoline engine is unlikely to be replaced by ethanol‚ hydrogen or electric powered engines anytime soon‚ contrary to what the media has everyone believing (333). For example‚ car companies are redesigning the electric car model to be more aerodynamic so the cars can fit smaller batteries in them but are still able to last a whole day’s driving. Refueling electric cars would simply involve plugging it into any electric outlet (334). White indicates pros and cons of alternative powered vehicles

Have you ever wondered how trajectory and the pressure in the atmosphere affects the spin of a soccer ball? I don’t really play soccer that much‚ but I’ve never understood why the ball curves in the air when you kick it. For my science project‚ I wanted to learn about the pressure in the atmosphere and how it affects a soccer ball in flight. I believe that understanding Bernoulli’s Principle may help to explain why the trajectory affects the spin of a soccer ball. Daniel Bernoulli never imagined

For example‚ cars use math inequalities when you see a speed limit. It uses friction and aerodynamics from science to calculate the max speed. It’s design and build are a result of the evolution of engineering. No matter how advanced and complex our inventions become‚ mathematicians‚ scientists‚
