Research Paper
As you are seeing in this course, learning from past incidents can help prevent future ones from occurring. Read the two options provided below, and choose one to write about in your research paper.
Option 1:
Anniston, Alabama, is a location known for its contamination with PCBs. You may research more via the Internet or the CSU Online Library with search terms such as PCB and Anniston, Alabama. Compose a research paper that includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Include the background of the contamination.
- Describe the current status in Anniston.
- Discuss the effects of PCB on human health and to the environment.
- bInclude past, current, and future remediation programs of Anniston.
- Discuss the impact this contamination has had on Anniston residents.
- Include your perspective of how this situation would be handled in other parts of the world where regulatory enforcement is weaker than in the U.S.
Option 2:
The Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls, New York, was contaminated by Hooker Chemical without the knowledge of the local citizens. You may research more via the Internet and the CSU Online Library using search terms such as Love Canal or Love Canal Tragedy. Compose a research paper that includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Include the background of the contamination.
- What are the effects of dioxin on human health and to the environment?
- What are some past remediation programs, and what is the current status of the Love Canal neighborhood?
- What was the health impact to Love Canal residents?
- Regulations that were passed and their purpose resulting from Love Canal
- Include your perspective of how this situation would be handled in other parts of the world where regulatory enforcement is weaker than in the U.S.
Your APA formatted research paper should be a minimum of three pages in length, not including your title page and reference page. You are required to use a minimum of two scholarly sources; one of your sources must come from the CSU Online Library.
Encyclopedias (online or print), message boards, or any sources that can be amended without educated review, such as Wikipedia, are not considered appropriate. Failure to use appropriate resources or failure to use a resource available in CSU Online Library can lead to deductions. CSU librarians are available to help you with your research for this assignment if you need assistance.

How high does the combination rise after the collision
: A 0.032 kg bullet is fired vertically at 120 m/s into a 0.13 kg baseball that is initially at rest. How high does the combination rise after the collision, assuming the bullet embeds itself in the ball? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s 2..

Explain the difference in exit speeds of the two bullets
: A 0.11-g bullet leaves a pistol at 323 m/s, while a similar bullet leaves a rifle at 396 m/s. Explain the difference in exit speeds of the two bullets, assuming that the forces exerted on the bullets by the expanding gases have the same magnitude.

What is the displacement of the block
: The block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0m to a displacement x = +0.040m and is released from rest. The block then executes simple harmonic motion along the x-axis (horizontal). What is the displacement of the block at time t=0.20..
