ASSIGNMENT 1 – THE PYRAMIDS OF GIZA

‘Instructor’s Name’
‘Subject’
The Great Pyramids of Giza are a symbol of the magnificent construction techniques of the Ancient Egyptians. Centuries have passed, still the mystery behind how these grand monuments, which have stood tall through the test of time witnessing rise and fall of multitude of civilizations, were constructed. It is the last remaining testimony of a glorious era, and a symbol of the splendor of human engineering skills. The sheer size of the pyramids rivals any contemporary building, built using modern technology and equipments. They were constructed sometime in 2547-2524 B.C, and for a whopping 3,800 years ...

(1.1) This experiment is about determining the effect of angle of inclination in the acceleration of an object. The independent variable is the angle of inclination of the slope of motion; the dependent variable is the acceleration of the object.

Hypothesis

(1.2) The angle of inclination of the slope is directly proportional to the acceleration of the object. Without initial applied force, the only acceleration of the object would only be due to gravity. Thus, the relationship will follow the equation:
a=gsinθ
Where a is the acceleration of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity, and θ is the ...

South of the polar Northwest Territories’ (NT) barren tundra lies the province of Alberta. The Canadian boreal forest provides expansive acres of natural habitat landscape for an array of plant and animal species. Ecologically, the Albertan forests and bogs arrest vast quantities of carbon-based pollutants, and their extensive hydrological network filters and purify millions of gallons of water. The boreal is also home to Aboriginal Communities which depend directly on the forest resources for their livelihoods (Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program [RAMP]). Nevertheless, this immaculate natural paradise is central to one of the today’s most contentious issues about the ‘ ...

There have been many theories regarding how the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Most experts agree that they were constructed as burial monuments for pharaohs, but how these ancient people constructed monuments of such great size without modern machinery is a mystery which is still being debated.
The Great Pyramid of Giza outside the modern city of Cairo in Egypt was in antiquity one of the Seven Wonders of the World and is today the only monument from the list that survives (Brier, 2007). The Great Pyramid is the largest of a group of three pyramids situated one next to ...

The forest pathways are a means of transitioning from a forest and park environment to a built environment. Connecting the two environments operationalizes the main concept, which is to bring life and nature into the built environment and thereby fostering an interaction within a historical building. The forest pathways, as conceptualized inside the building, will be drawn as curved lines that guide the pedestrian through a succession of spaces that create the impression of houses built along a forest path. The pathway will move around columns as a pedestrian moves around trees in a forest.

Ski jumping involves a lot of skill, and different factors affect how far the ski jumper would jump. Comprehending of the physics principles enable the skiers to execute certain moves. When these factors are manipulated in different scenarios, the desired distance is achieved. The sport of ski jumping requires one to jump the furthest down an inclined slope. It is done by gaining the maximum possible speed one can attain upon takeoff from the ramp. It is achieved by minimizing the frictional drag due to the air resistance between the air and the skier. The air resistance is significantly ...

Introduction

Out of the list of seven wonders of this world first compiled by the Greek historian, Callimachus of Cyrene , only one exists till today. The sheer height and magnificent structure of the pyramids of Giza speak volume of the hard toil of our predecessors. The square base of some of these pyramids spreads over 13 acres and it is still a mystery that how could before the invent of modern machinery, those people were able to build such massive structures of art with such a precision. Certainly, this requires a mastery over geometry or else the four sides can never meet at a ...

According to Lara (2011), asthma is a lifelong illness that is characterized by aspects involving wheezing, coughing, and irritations. In this instance, the ailment is caused by the inflammation of the bronchi located in an individual’s lungs. Upon inflammation, the airways become blocked and thereby leading to increased difficulty in breathing. Asthma is deadly, owing to the increasing prevalence of the illness among both the adult and children population. Asthma is identified as one of the most chronic illnesses affecting children, approximately 6.3 million individuals (CDC, 2011). In this regards, almost 24% of children ranging from 5 to ...

1. Introduction

This essay discusses four “landmarks” of Ancient Egypt. As described in the Introduction to David Silverman’s Ancient Egypt (1997), “this land of the past has thousands of familiar visual cues that make it spring to life with a coherent character unequalled by any other civilization of antiquity, yet its full depth and breadth still remain to be discovered.” The time period covered here is from circa 3000 B.C. to 1000 B.C. – a period which included no less than 20 Egyptian Dynasties and saw most of the now famous architectural structures like the pyramids and temples constructed. All this in a land ...

Facts Disputing Von Daniken’s Theory on Egypt

Erich von Daniken tries to support his theory that Earth was visited by ancient extraterrestrial beings using the early Egyptian civilization. Von Daniken claims that the Egyptian civilization rose suddenly out of nowhere as a fully formed, technological advanced society (Von Daniken, n.d). Von Daniken’s claims are not valid because the Egyptian civilization is well documented showing how they learnt and built from their mistakes. Egyptian ingenuity began in 3000 B.C when they built the world’s first dam. The dam was 50 feet high and its construction was overseen by Egypt’s first Pharaoh, Menes, who had ...

Advantages

According to Ocken (2013), there are several advantages to making parks ADA compliant. Since children of all ages, and individual adults enjoy parks, making them as a compliant as possible allows for a playful and exciting time for a wide range of abilities. One of the key aspect is getting involvement from the community on what they would like to see included in the areas within the park. The objective is to create a park that is inclusive and encourages each and every individual to want to play in that particular environment, and enjoy it (p.1). For this reason, ...

In this information age, the digital revolution has transformed the industry to an information based economy. Since the late 1970s, the day to day evolution of technology has shaped the modern society by introducing globalized communication. The UK mobile phone network industry is developing day by day by introducing the new-tech systems in the market. O2, Vodafone, EE, T-Mobile, and Orange are the biggest mobile phone network providers in the UK (Rushton, 2012). This report has presented a thorough economic analysis of mobile phone network industry in the UK, considering the biggest network providers in the country.

Introduction

Fast Fashion as a category has made significant inroads into fashion retail in the past two decades, with companies like Zara, Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M) and Uniqlo establishing their presence as leaders in this segment. Due to the nature of the fashion business, the supply chain is highly fragmented and is divided across multiple geographical regions across the world. Traditional fashion labels have a lag time of close to 9 months between the time their creations are shown on the ramp at a fashion show and the garments actually being available for purchase in stores (Su and Gargeya, ...

Introduction

Waste management is an important part of managing an economy and this applies to every country, including Qatar. Trash or garbage can be collected from residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Basically, every business and lifestyle operations that occur within a city or a state leads to the creation of garbage. Over time, the garbage that are produced as a result of basic residential, commercial, and industrial activities could lead to the accumulation of garbage on traditional garbage storage spaces (e.g. landfills), and garbage incinerators (which by the way could present as a potent environmental risk). If these garbage-containing strategies would be overwhelmed by ...
