In this experiment the main goal is to examine the correlation between position, velocity, time, and acceleration of objects, moving in one or two dimensions. Each and every experiment will be conducted under different conditions. For example, the first experiment requires a constant force (gravity) to act on the object, the picket fence. This experiments other condition is that we neglect friction. This object should be in nearly ideally circumstances. In the second experiment, the conditions…

The current environment for the American auto industry is very complex. In 2015, over 17.4 million automobiles were sold in the US, of which over 746,000 automobiles were sold by the “big three” US automakers of General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (Philipps, 2016). Getting a true understanding of an environment as large and complex as this could take months of research, but I will provide my summary understanding focusing on competition and environmental concerns.…
