What simple machines did you incorporate into your nifty lifting machine? 1. In the nifty lifting machine Kenny‚ Kaylee and I used three simple machines. We used a pulley system as our first simple machine. The pulleys are what allowed pulling the 600 gram can up the five centimeters. My group also used a wheel and axle‚ which is the crank that we used to pull up the cans. The wheel is the gear and the axle is the dowel rod we used to tie the rope around. Then we used a wedge to stop the gear on

Chapter 1 From X-Rays to Ion Beams: A Short History of Radiation Therapy James M. Slater Abstract Radiation therapy (RT) developed in several eras. Patients’ needs for more effective treatment guided the efforts. The development of ion beam therapy (IBT) can be seen as a corollary in this continuous endeavor to optimize disease control while minimizing normal-tissue damage. It could not have materialized‚ however‚ without the curiosity‚ ingenuity‚ and perseverance of researchers‚ engineers

One ampere is the amount of current flowing with an electromotive force of one Volt in a circuit having a resistance of one Ohm. Named after the French mathematician and physicists Andre Marie Ampere who discovered the basic laws of electromagnetism. AMPERE’S FORCE LAW Ampere’s force law states that there is an attractive or repulsive force between two parallel wires carrying an electric

Nifty Lifting Machine Use complete sentences to answer the questions. What simple machines did you incorporate into you nifty lifting machine? The simple machines that I incorporated into my nifty lifting machine was a pulley and a lever. The pulley was used to help lift up the weight. This was accomplished by having string that was connected to a crank runs through the pulley and at the end of a string is a magnet. The magnet is used to latch on to the metal can. The lever we used is used to

The poor get poorer and rich get richer. In The Time Machine by H. G. Wells‚ that statement is true due to the way society has seemed to devolve‚ at least in the eyes of an unnamed Time-Traveler‚ by the year 802‚701 CE. To convey his message of how humans will be driven apart by social class‚ Wells uses technology and the relationship between the two sub-species of humanity. Technology‚ and the ability to use it‚ is a sign of heightened intelligence. For example‚ the Time-traveler‚ in reference
