Pendulum

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the most effective position and mass of a wolf tone eliminator for effectively suppressing the wolf so that it was undetectable to the human ear and, hopefully, completely suppressed. All correctly-proportioned and good quality violoncellos create an unusual phenomenon called a wolf tone when a certain pitch on the instrument is played, and the pitch at which the wolf occurs differs between instruments. On a well-crafted violoncello, this tone…

Plot twist: a plot twist is a technique used by authors who try to convey a sudden turn of events. This element is popular in novels, poems, television shows and movies. It can happen in any type of literature since all the literary technique needs to occur is a plot. Here, the plot consists of a man going to a funeral, but in the last sentences, the audience learns he is at his own funeral, which is unexpected. The whole story is built up to be something that the reader thinks it should be,…

Being the author of many dark and grotesque stories, Edgar Allan Poe made his mark on humanity by truly showing what it means to be human. Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809. He was later adopted by tobacco merchants in 1811. Poe inherited his uncle’s fortune in 1825 and that is when he starts his writing career. Poe is a brilliant short story writer that trampled upon light and fluffy works. He meant for people to feel uneasy and frightened of what may be happening in another’s mind.…

untied shoelaces which drag behind. Phoenix, a tiny older woman, carried the weight of life on her delicate shoulders. Welty thereby, enlightens her readers by comparing Phoenix to the pendulum of a grandfather clock, “moving a little from side to side in her steps, with the balanced heaviness and lightness of a pendulum in a grandfather clock” (Welty 1). Heaviness released through symbolism, meaning left to the reader. Whereas, the tapping of a “small cane” in the quite air “meditative” left…

mistakes that make humans who they are. Overall, this type of literature reflects negatively on the human population and society in general because it brings values and human behavior into questioning. For example, in Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum,” the pendulum symbolises death and its imminent arrival in life. This showcases the darker elements of his writing and the depths in which he explores different aspects of life and human nature. Nathaniel Hawthorne also touches on this transition to…

spot) Trail one .26m .904m 96.96cm 96.8cm Trail two .235m .904m 92.18cm 92cm Discussion questions 1) Equation for the landing point of the bob 2) Distance where the bob should land from directly beneath the rest position of the pendulum. 3) Would you expect the same result if you used the different mass? If the experiment were to use a different mass the result would not differ as the length that the mass travels is independent on both the mass of the objects and…

a consequence. Warped minds, paranoid nights, and twisted emotions are all repercussions of the double edged word: fear. Fear can either cause the obsession with death or survival of hope. The characters in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Pit and the Pendulum,” and “The Masque of Red Death,” experience terror, but each handles it differently, causing a variety of results. Poe weaves symbolism, irony, and figurative language…

motion, which contained a known error at the time. In 1602, Galileo revisited his theory on motion. Over the course of 2 years he formulated the correct law of falling bodies. He came down to this discovery through his study of inclined planes and the pendulum, in which he worked out that a projectile follows a parabolic path. His conclusions to this are credited with conclusions foreshadowing Newton’s laws of motions. Some of Galileo’s greatest discoveries included the hydrostatic balance and…

Firstly, bipeds move by using two rear limbs whilst quadrupeds move by using four rear limbs. Both bipeds and quadrupeds use distinct gaits for locomotion. A gait is defined as a particular style of movement. Animals’ characteristic legs and gaits are due to natural selection and experiential learning. [1] Several different properties are used to classify gaits, these are outlined below. A stride is one complete cycle of leg movements. Stride frequency is the number of strides taken in a…

Galileo was a person of imagination. Throughout his life, he came across different things that provoked him with new ideas and create innovative thoughts. Starting from his childhood life, Galileo created his own world without even perceiving what was going on around him. Although he was an introvert, the knowledge he held within him was beyond imaginable. He started to see things that others couldn’t even fathom. Sure enough Galileo’s actions and thoughts established himself as an outsider. In…
