The trolley problem presents a question of human perception of morality which presents two methods of killing in order to save lives. In the one problem‚ a trolley can be diverted with the turning of a switch‚ thus killing one but saving five‚ or to take direct physical action and push a large man onto the tracks‚ killing one‚ but saving five. In the responses which were given on the discussion board‚ I could not predict with truth what I would in reality do. To both responses‚ I wrote that it

One of the traditional types of simple machines is an inclined plane. Like the pulley and lever‚ the inclined plane provides a means of raising a heavy load easily. It is mainly useful for loading barrels since they can be rolled up the incline plane. The inclined plane was one of the machines available in ancient times. For example- the early Egyptians used inclined planes in the construction of the pyramids. Today many inclined planes are used in sports and recreation like water skiing and slides

THE TROLLEY PROBLEM Jessica Fowler Baker College Online HUM 401A In “The Trolley Problem” two scenarios are given to the reader. The first scenario is that the reader is a passerby that happens to be standing near a switch that could change the course of the trolley. The trolley is no longer in control and if it continues‚ it will kill the five people that are standing on the tracks ahead. Over to the side‚ there is another track that only has one person on it. The reader is given the choice

Law of Acceleration (1907) by Henry Adams (1838-1918) Images are not arguments‚ rarely even lead to proof‚ but the mind craves them‚ and‚ of late more than ever‚ the keenest experimenters find twenty images better than one‚ especially if contradictory; since the human mind has already learned to deal in contradictions. The image needed here is that of a new center‚ or preponderating mass‚ artificially introduced on earth in the midst of a system of attractive forces that previously

force and motion I problem 1 The figure below is an overhead view of a 12 kg tire that is to be pulled by three ropes. One force (Fl‚ with magnitude 50 N) is indicated. Orient the other two forces F2 and F3 so that the magnitude of the resulting acceleration of the tire is least‚ and find that magnitude if (a) F2 = 30N‚ F3= 20 N; (b) F2= 30 N‚ F3 = 10 N; and (c) F2 = F3 = 30 N. problem 2 A weight-conscious penguin with a mass of 15.0 kg rests on a bathroom scale (see figure below).

The Trolley Problems The Trolley Problems Many times in an individual’s life they are faced with difficult decisions. These decisions create domino effect and no one decision is isolated to only the current situation. In the case of the trolley problem‚ the decision to be made will result in death. Either five individuals will die‚ or only one will have to lose his life. In the first scenario the act of sacrificing one comes at the pull of a lever and in the second you must push him onto the
