Document Summary

Ethics week 1 pt. 2 jan 13, 2011. Arguments are sound or unsound, and (if deductive) valid or invalid. A good argument meets both subjective and objective criteria. Must make an argument that is understandable to the audience (i. e. intellect language with academic people) Argument must also be objectively sound if it doesn"t persuade audience there is no point. Object with one of your premises to figure out what is wrong (reductio absurdio) You need to take away what is least reasonable to you (what else can be done to make the argument better?) Zeno"s paradox (no such thing as space, time) Difference between morals and ethics ethics is commonly related to money. When you agree with a conclusion it"s easy to miss what"s wrong. Facts or what is actually true in the world aren"t all good. Group of facts show how valuable something is (good or desirable)

Two waves on one string are described by the wave functions y1 = 3.0 cos (4.0x − 1.6t), y2 = 4.0 sin (5.0x − 2.0t) where x and y are in centimeters and t is in seconds. Find the superposition of the waves y1 + y2 at the points

At  x = 1.00, t = 1.00;

Note: Remember that the arguments of the trigonometric functions are in radians
