Year 10 Task: Reaction Times-Science(physics)

1. When driving the ability to stop in a reasonable time is very important  for the safety of the driver, passenger and other drivers. This time can be broken down into three parts braking stopping and time. Explain what each of these are.

=Braking is something where you have poor car condition for example the ground is icy. Stopping is where you finish something that you were doing. Time is a thin that is measured in hours, seconds and minutes.

2. How do these times very with speed?

=It tells you how fast you can go in minutes, hours and seconds for example 30 miles per hour (30mph)

3. Why does it take longer to stop the faster you are going?

=It takes longer to stop the faster you are going because when you go faster, the vehicle stops slower and you lose friction.

4. How can a driver improve their reaction time?

=A driver can improve their reaction time by going slower.

5. What distractions can increase reaction times?

=Distractions that can increase reaction time by practising to drive faster.

6. Name three substances that have an effect on reaction time.

=Three substances that have an effect on reaction time are braking, stopping and time.

7. How does being under the influence of one of these substances affect the safety of others around you?

=Being under the influence of one of these substances affect the safety of others around you by crashing your car and seriously injuring yourself and others.

Metaphysics

Metaphysics is the supernatural thing but not reality. For example, in Shakespeare’s Macbeth in Act 1 Scene 1, the witches were at the beginning. Also, in Act 2 Scene 1, Macbeth said ‘Is this a dagger which I see before me.’

Paradox

Paradox is when two things happen simultaneously but the are the opposite of each other. They are contradicting. For example, in Shakespeare’s Macbeth Act 1 Scene 1, the witches say that “fair is foul, and foul is fair.”

Pathetic Fallacy

When the weather reflects the mood of the play or a character’s mood. It means that the weather tells you how you feel. For example, Act 1 Scene 1 in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, we meet the witches for the first time and Shakespeare describes the weather as thunder and lightning.We get the feeling that the witches are evil because of thunder and lightning. The weather tells us to expect that something bad is going to happen.

Dramatic irony

A dramatic device that allows the audience to be aware of things that some (or all) of the characters in a text do not.

For example, in Act 1 Scene 4 of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Macbeth speaks in an aside (to the audience) telling us that he is going to have dispense with the King’s son Malcolm in order to become king himself.

Macbeth: Act 1 Scene 6

1. First, as I am his kinsman and his subject

2. Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan

If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well
It were done quickly: if the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We’ld jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison’d chalice
To our own lips. He’s here in double trust;
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And pity, like a naked new-born babe,
Striding the blast, or heaven’s cherubim, horsed
Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself
And falls on the other.

For the first one, it saying that Macbeth respects King Duncan. For the second one, Macbeth will not kill himself but King Duncan.
