How do technological artifacts affect the way that you live?

Engineering
1 answer:
Maslowich3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Artefacts can influence our actions in several ways. They can be instruments, enabling and facilitating actions, where their presence affects the number and quality of the options for action available to us. They can also influence our actions in a morally more salient way, where their presence changes the likelihood that we will actually perform certain actions. Both kinds of influences are closely related, yet accounts of how they work have been developed largely independently, within different conceptual frameworks and for different purposes. In this paper I account for both kinds of influences within a single framework. Specifically, I develop a descriptive account of how the presence of artefacts affects what we actually do, which is based on a framework commonly used for normative investigations into how the presence of artefacts affects what we can do. This account describes the influence of artefacts on what we actually do in terms of the way facts about those artefacts alter our reasons for action. In developing this account, I will build on Dancy’s (2000a) account of practical reasoning. I will compare my account with two alternatives, those of Latour and Verbeek, and show how my account suggests a specification of their respective key concepts of prescription and invitation. Furthermore, I argue that my account helps us in analysing why the presence of artefacts sometimes fails to influence our actions, contrary to designer expectations or intentions.

When it comes to affecting human actions, it seems artefacts can play two roles. In their first role they can enable or facilitate human actions. Here, the presence of artefacts changes the number and quality of the options for action available to us.Footnote1 For example, their presence makes it possible for us to do things that we would not otherwise be able to do, and thereby adopt new goals, or helps us to do things we would otherwise be able to do, but in more time, with greater effort, etc

Explanation:

Technological artifacts are in general characterized narrowly as material objects made by (human) agents as means to achieve practical ends. ... Unintended by-products of making (e.g. sawdust) or of experiments (e.g. false positives in medical diagnostic tests) are not artifacts for Hilpinen.

A(n) is a detailed, structured diagram or drawing.
monitta

Answer:

Schematics

Explanation:

A schematic is a detailed structured diagram or drawing. It employs illustrations to help the viewer understand detailed information on the machine or object being described. Its main aim is not to help the observer know what the object looks like physically. It is rather aimed at helping the viewer know how the machine works. This is achieved by only including key and important details to the drawing.

It is most times used in the blueprint and user guides of machines and gadgets used in the home to help users know how these things work so that they can do little fixings should there be such needs.

Two identical billiard balls can move freely on a horizontal table. Ball a has a velocity V0 and hits balls B, which is at rest,
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Velocity of ball B after impact is 0.6364v_0 and ball A is 0.711v_0

Explanation:

v_0 = Initial velocity of ball A

v_A=v_0\cos45^{\circ}

v_B = Initial velocity of ball B = 0

(v_A)_n' = Final velocity of ball A

v_B' = Final velocity of ball B

e = Coefficient of restitution = 0.8

From the conservation of momentum along the normal we have

mv_A+mv_B=m(v_A)_n'+mv_B'\\\Rightarrow v_0\cos45^{\circ}+0=(v_A)_n'+v_B'\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_n'+v_B'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

Coefficient of restitution is given by

e=\dfrac{v_B'-(v_A)_n'}{v_A-v_B}\\\Rightarrow 0.8=\dfrac{v_B'-(v_A)_n'}{v_0\cos45^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow v_B'-(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{0.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

(v_A)_n'+v_B'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

v_B'-(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{0.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

Adding the above two equations we get

2v_B'=\dfrac{1.8}{\sqrt{2}}v_0\\\Rightarrow v_B'=\dfrac{0.9}{\sqrt{2}}v_0

\boldsymbol{\therefore v_B'=0.6364v_0}

(v_A)_n'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}v_0-0.6364v_0\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_n'=0.07071v_0

From the conservation of momentum along the plane of contact we have

(v_A)_t'=(v_A)_t=v_0\sin45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow (v_A)_t'=\dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}}

v_A'=\sqrt{(v_A)_t'^2+(v_A)_n'^2}\\\Rightarrow v_A'=\sqrt{(\dfrac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}})^2+(0.07071v_0)^2}\\\Rightarrow \boldsymbol{v_A'=0.711v_0}

Velocity of ball B after impact is 0.6364v_0 and ball A is 0.711v_0.

Which regulations are related to guard rail height and dimensions and uniformity of stairs?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

C.

structural safety

Explanation:

Guards protecting floor surfaces must be 36 inches in height, while guards for stairs must be 34 inches in height measured vertically from the tread nosing. A guard may also serve as the required handrail (34 to 38 inches high) provided the top rail meets the requirements for grip size.

A car accelerates from rest with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. The acceleration decreases linearly with time to zero in 15 s, afte
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: At time 18.33 seconds it will have moved 500 meters.

Explanation:

Since the acceleration of the car is a linear function of time it can be written as a function of time as

a(t)=5(1-\frac{t}{15})

a=\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}\\\\\therefore \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}=5(1-\frac{t}{15})

Integrating both sides we get

\int \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}dt=\int 5(1-\frac{t}{15})dt\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=v=5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30}+c

Now since car starts from rest thus at time t = 0 ; v=0 thus c=0

again integrating with respect to time we get

\int \frac{dx}{dt}dt=\int (5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30})dt\\\\x(t)=\frac{5t^{2}}{2}-\frac{5t^{3}}{90}+D

Now let us assume that car starts from origin thus D=0

thus in the first 15 seconds it covers a distance of

x(15)=2.5\times 15^{2}-\farc{15^{3}}{18}=375m

Thus the remaining 125 meters will be covered with a constant speed of

v(15)=5\times 15-\frac{15^{2}}{6}=37.5m/s

in time equalling t_{2}=\frac{125}{37.5}=3.33seconds

Thus the total time it requires equals 15+3.33 seconds

t=18.33 seconds
