Document Summary

St. anselm"s ontological argument a priori (no sense experience) Anselm claims that god is that which no greater can be conceived. This definition points to the existence of god because it encompasses every possibility, variation, and extension of every definition. St. thomas aquinas" self-evident proposition (not on the exam) This is because the word god cannot be defined: st. thomas refutes anselm, saying that anselm"s argument is fallacious because it assumes that we can define god. 3 further exceptions to st. thomas aquinas" second ontological argument, by adler: does not talk about continued preservation. To talk about the future of frank is to strip it of its a postiori level. It is not to talk about what we can see, but what we can"t see. Thus this is not a good objection to st. thomas" argument: only talks about a part of the world.

If your car is stuck in the mud and you donât have a winch to pull it out, you can use a piece of rope and a tree to do the trick. First, you tie one end of the rope to your car and the other to a tree, then pull as hard as you can on the middle of the rope, as shown in the figure. This technique applies a force to the car much larger than the force that you can apply directly. To see why the car experiences such a large force, look at the forces acting on the center point of the rope, as shown in the figure. The sum of the forces is zero, thus the tension is much greater than the force you apply. It is this tension force that acts on the car and, with luck, pulls it free.

1.) The sum of the three forces acting on the center point of the rope is assumed to be zero because
a.) this point has a very small mass
b.) tension forces in a rope always cancel
c.) this point is not accelerating
d.) the angle of deflection is very small.

2.) when you are pulling on the rope what is the approximate direction of the tension force on the tree?
a.) north b.) south c.) east d.) west

3.) assume that you are pulling on the rope but the car is not moving. what is the approximate direction of the force of the mud on the car?
a.) north b.) south c.) east d.) west

4.) suppose your efforts work, and the car begins to move forward out of the mud. As it does so, the force of the car on the rope is
a.) zero
b.) less than the force of the rope on the car
c.) equal to the force of the rope on the car
d.) greater than the force of the rope on the car.

Kinetic energy is a microscopic concept. The equivalent cacroscopicconcept is:
a. mass b. entropy c. temp d. heat

the second law of thermodynamics has a number of equivalentdefinitions, all of which give an indication of which way natureflows . which of these statements is not generally derivable fromthe concept that that a particular engine is themost efficientengine possible and that it is reversible?
a. heat will not flow spontaneously from a cold reservoir to hotone
b. an engine or combination of engines alone cannot make theat flowfrom a cold reservoir to a hot one.
c. heat will flow spontaneoulsy from a cold reseroir to hotone
d. it is not possible to convert 100 % of heat into work.
