Use the following information to answer questions 4 and 5: A rock is launched vertically into the air at a velocity of 14.75 m/s.
4. Toby claims that the rock must come to rest before it can fall back towards the ground. Is Toby
correct?
A. Toby is correct because the rock is experiencing a negative acceleration, causing its negative
velocity to increase until the rock reaches a velocity of O m/s before becoming positive.
B. Toby is correct because the rock is experiencing a negative acceleration, causing its positive
velocity to decrease until the rock reaches a velocity of O m/s before becoming negative.
C. Toby is incorrect because the rock is experiencing a positive acceleration, causing its positive
velocity to increase in magnitude.
D. Toby is incorrect because the rock is experiencing a negative acceleration, causing its positive
velocity to increase in magnitude.
5. Calculate the time it takes for the rock to reach its maximum height.
A. 1.50 seconds
B. 2.47 seconds
C. 3.00 seconds
D. 4.94 seconds

4). In the given situation, the assertion that could be made regarding Toby would be:

B). Toby is correct because the rock is experiencing a negative acceleration, causing its positive velocity to decrease until the rock reaches a velocity of O m/s before becoming negative.

5). The time that would be taken by the rock to attain its greatest height would be:

1.5 second

4). Tobby correctly states as rock would be undergoing a -ve acceleration which leads its +ve velocity to fall by the time rock attains the velocity of 0 m/s.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.

5). Given that,

Initial velocity() = 14.75 m/s

As we know,

Velocity remains 0 m/s at the greatest height,

So,

Velocity(v)

Question 4

B. Toby is correct because the rock is experiencing a negative acceleration, causing its positive velocity to decrease until the rock reaches a velocity of O m/s before becoming negative.

Question 5

At the maximum height, velocity is 0, so:

v = v₀ - gt

0 = 14.75 - 9.8t

t = 14.75/9.8

t = 1.5 s    (OPTION A)

relativism, roughly put, is the view that truth and falsity, right and wrong, standards of reasoning, and procedures of justification are products of differing conventions and frameworks of assessment and that their authority is confined to the context giving rise to them. more precisely, “relativism” covers views which maintain that—at a high level of abstraction—at least some class of things have the properties they have (e.g., beautiful, morally good, epistemically justified) not simpliciter, but only relative to a given framework of assessment (e.g., local cultural norms, individual standards), and correspondingly, that the truth of claims attributing these properties holds only once the relevant framework of assessment is specified or supplied. relativists characteristically insist, furthermore, that if something is only relatively so, then there can be no framework-independent vantage point from which the matter of whether the thing in question is so can be established.

relativism has been, in its various guises, both one of the most popular and most reviled philosophical doctrines of our time. defenders see it as a harbinger of tolerance and the only ethical and epistemic stance worthy of the open-minded and tolerant. detractors dismiss it for its alleged incoherence and uncritical intellectual permissiveness. debates about relativism permeate the whole spectrum of philosophical sub-disciplines. from ethics to epistemology, science to religion, political theory to ontology, theories of meaning and even logic, philosophy has felt the need to respond to this heady and seemingly subversive idea. discussions of relativism often also invoke considerations relevant to the very nature and methodology of philosophy and to the division between the so-called “analytic and continental” camps in philosophy. and yet, despite a long history of debate going back to plato and an increasingly large body of writing, it is still difficult to come to an agreed definition of what, at its core, relativism is, and what philosophical import it has. this entry attempts to provide a broad account of the many ways in which “relativism” has been defined, explained, defended and criticized.
