![]() ![]() In order to calculate the velocity of their rocket, students must understand that they can calculate average velocity by dividing the distance traveled by the time traveled. By adding that maximum potential energy (at a moment when all of the vertical kinetic energy should have been converted into potential energy) to that average kinetic energy, students would be able to find approximately the amount of energy that was given to their rocket when they stomped on the bottle. Students could also record the maximum height their rocket achieved on each flight and calculate the potential energy of the rocket at that moment by multiplying the mass of their rocket by the acceleration of gravity by the height off the ground. By weighing their rocket beforehand and using the average horizontal velocity they calculated during their trials they could find an approximate horizontal kinetic energy. Students can also use this projectile lab to calculate approximate amount of energy created by their stomp. This would be difficult, but multiple trials could be used to find an average launch. In order to minimize variables, for this lab students should attempt to step on the plastic bottle in the same place for each launch and attempt to equalize the force of their step. Students will record their angles on the following data sheet. Students will begin by measuring 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 degree angles. They will use a stop watch to record the flight time for each trial. Students will slide their paper rocket onto the launcher, make sure that no one is in the path of their shot, stomp on the 2-liter bottle, and then measure and record the distance from the rocket launcher to the place where the rocket landed. Procedure for each individual flight is relatively simple. The version I am doing in class will be day two in a four day activity, with day one being the day where students will design, build, and iterate on their own rockets, creating one of their own design and one using the Pop Rockets designs linked to above.įor this particular demo, we will be iterating on the launch angle necessary for greatest horizontal flight.

Each of them is It's hard to pin it down because it's distributed among multiple currencies with varying PPP, so it could be anywhere from $70Tn toĪnyway. Gross planetary GDP (GWP- gross world product) is on the order of $85Tn. Or Elon Musk's avowed goal of colonizing Mars.Ĭontra which, I would argue that in planetary terms a billion dollars is peanuts. For example, there's the Gates Foundation's much-touted goal of eliminating childhood diseases of poverty in South-East Asia (which I haven't heard much about since COVID19 hit-or, for that matter, since the allegations of a Gates-Epstein surfaced in the press). Which leads to the second common argument for tolerating billionaires: that they have the resources to undertake tasks that governments decline to address. So, personal wealth has an upper bound beyond which the numbers are meaningless. In other words, in personal terms the marginal utility of money diminishes all the way to zero. Most liver transplant recipients are only able to register in one state within the USA Jobs was registered in two or three.) But at that point, it did not matter how many billions he had: once you've got the jet and are registered with every major transplant centre within flight range, no extra amount of money is going to improve your chances of survival. (Livers are notoriously short-lived outside the donor body. As a billionaire, he could do more than that: he reputedly kept a business jet on 24x7 standby to whisk him to any hospital in the United States where a histocompatible liver for transplant surgery became available. As a very rich man, he could afford the best healthcare. ![]() Crude arguments that "greed is good" are all very well, but it begs the question of what positive good billionaires contribute to the commonweal-beyond a certain point the diminishing marginal utility of money means that every extra million or billion dollars changes nothing significant in the recipient's life.įor example, Steve Jobs had pancreatic cancer, as a result of which his liver was failing (after he underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy ). There's a very fertile field of what I can only describe as capitalist apologetics, wherein economists and others try to justify the existence of billionaires in terms of social utility. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was great to hear from you – thank you for your time.Ĭould we set up a meeting on this? Let me know when’s best for you and we can arrange something. Always write as though to a managing director – because, until you know otherwise, you might be! How to write a business email You must remember that it’s incredibly easy to slip into bad habits. This is far too casual and is what you might expect to see in a text message. Even then, it’s not ideal in a business capacity.įinally, always finish with both your full first name (at least) and a proper sign-off. ‘Cheers!’ is best avoided, unless you’ve already developed a long-term relationship with the recipient. The third paragraph is far too casual and indecisive, leaves too much room for doubt, and suggests someone easily placated and generally not all that bothered. Yes, it’s email, not a letter – but there is no reason or excuse for letting standards drop, or giving the wrong impression. As long as you’re professional, courteous and polite, there’s no need to throw anything like this in. The second paragraph is a poor attempt at adding a ‘personal touch’. And, crucially, there’s no thank you for responding to the initial email. The opening paragraph is too casual, informal and unprofessional. After all, you’re meant to be building a professional relationship with the person in question. ‘Dear Name’ – as by not doing so you’ll seem ignorant. However, if you do know the name of the recipient, use it. The opening is clearly too informal and impersonal – if you don’t know the name of the recipient use ‘To whom it may concern’ or ‘Dear Sir/Madam’. Hey did you see Eastenders the other night? I love it, it’s AMAZING. What it is, don’t worry about it, but could we, like, arrange something maybe? No rush! I’m just wondering about a possible meeting being set up. The second shows you a good example template you might want to bear in mind when writing your business email. The first contains all the worst aspects of a bad business email. ![]() For example, if you wrote an email to your insurance company but wanted a solicitor to read it for reference without the insurers knowing, you would use this field for the solicitor's address.Īlways use the correct field so people know who you expect to act first on the information. BCC (blind courtesy copy) – addresses that you put in this field are 'hidden' from the other people who receive the message.CC (courtesy copy) – this is for the email addresses of other people who need to see the information in your email.To – this is where you type the email address of the person you are writing to.While some people may understand what 'cant w8 2 cu' means, a lot of people do not. Resist the temptation to use the shortcuts of 'text messaging'. Remember that sloppy communication gives a bad impression of both you and your organisation. You should always write emails with the same care you would use to write a formal letter.Īlways check your spelling and grammar – most email applications have a tool which you can use to do this automatically. Remember that people are unlikely to be offended if you are tooformal, but some may think you are being rude if you are too informal. If you do not know the person's full name, use the person's title (for example 'Dear Director of Customer Services').Īlways think about the reader. 'Hi' is not really appropriate for business emails unless you are familiar with the person you are writing to. It is best to open and close an email using 'Dear' at the beginning and 'Best wishes' or 'Regards' at the end. There is still some confusion about the correct way to write emails, which 'tone' is appropriate, and whether to use slang or abbreviations. However, emails are normally less formal than a printed business letter. So it is important to stick to the usual guidelines. If we relax the rules of grammar and clear communication, we will fail to get our message across. But what are the best techniques to use when writing emails?Īre the rules for writing emails different to those we have already learned?Įmails are written communications, and their purpose, generally, is to send information. Many of us now use it as our main means of communication during the working day. Email has changed the way we work – allowing us to communicate cheaply and quickly with colleagues, suppliers and other contacts around the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() The only way to produce Thavnairian Onion is by cultivating plants.

It will read only the required columns since they are adjacent, thus minimizing IO.įor example, let’s say you want only the NAME column. The columnar storage format is more efficient when you need to query a few columns from a table. If we take the same record schema as mentioned above, having three fields ID (int), NAME (varchar), and Department (varchar), the table will look something like this: In a column-oriented format, the values of each column of the same type in the records are stored together.įor example For example, if there is a record comprising ID, employee Name, and Department, then all the values for the ID column will be stored together, values for the Name column together, and so on. In order to understand the Parquet file format in Hadoop better, first, let’s see what a columnar format is. It is especially good for queries that read particular columns from a “wide” (with many columns) table since only needed columns are read, and IO is minimized. Ĭompared to a traditional approach where data is stored in a row-oriented approach, Parquet file format is more efficient in terms of storage and performance. Parquet, an open-source file format for Hadoop, stores nested data structures in a flat columnar format. Some file formats are designed for general use, others are designed for more specific use cases, and some are designed with specific data characteristics in mind. ![]() The various Hadoop file formats have evolved in data engineering solutions to ease these issues across a number of use cases.Ĭhoosing an appropriate file format can have some significant benefits: ![]() As the data increases, the cost for processing and storage increases too. Along with the storage cost, processing the data comes with CPU, Network, IO costs, etc. When processing Big data, the cost required to store such data is more (Hadoop stores data redundantly to achieve fault tolerance). These issues get complicated with the difficulties of managing large datasets, such as evolving schemas or storage constraints. Why do we need different file formats?Ī huge bottleneck for HDFS-enabled applications like MapReduce and Spark is the time it takes to find relevant data in a particular location and the time it takes to write the data back to another location.
