A social class is a set of concepts in the social sciences and political theory centered on models of social stratification which occurs in class society, in which people are grouped into a set of hierarchical social categories, the most common being the upper, middle and lower classes. Membership in a social class can for example be dependent on education, wealth, occupation, income, and belonging to a particular subculture or social network."Class" is a subject of analysis for sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and social historians. However, there is not a consensus on a definition of "class" and the term has a wide range of sometimes conflicting meanings. Some people argue that due to social mobility, class boundaries do not exist. In common parlance, the term "social class" is usually synonymous with "socio-economic class", defined as "people having the same social, economic, cultural, political or educational status", e.g., "the working class"; "an emerging professional class". However, academics distinguish social class and socioeconomic status, using the former to refer to one's relatively stable sociocultural background and the latter to refer to one's current social and economic situation which is consequently more changeable over time.The precise measurements of what determines social class in society have varied over time. Karl Marx thought "class" was defined by one's relationship to the means of production (their relations of production). His understanding of classes in modern capitalist society is that the proletariat work but do not own the means of production, and the bourgeoisie, those who invest and live off the surplus generated by the proletariat's operation of the means of production, do not work at all. This contrasts with the view of the sociologist Max Weber, who argued "class" is determined by economic position, in contrast to "social status" or "Stand" which is determined by social prestige rather than simply just relations of production. The term "class" is etymologically derived from the Latin classis, which was used by census takers to categorize citizens by wealth in order to determine military service obligations.In the late 18th century, the term "class" began to replace classifications such as estates, rank and orders as the primary means of organizing society into hierarchical divisions. This corresponded to a general decrease in significance ascribed to hereditary characteristics and increase in the significance of wealth and income as indicators of position in the social hierarchy.
In my physics class, we recently got assigned a project that deals with moustraps. More specifically, we have to use two (2) mousetraps to shoot a starburst the farthest distance possible. You can only use the mousetraps tho, what do u think would be the best way to harness the most energy of a...

(b) the speed of the mass when the spring...
I'm a grade 12 student and have been given the task of teaching our algebra and geometry class for a day :smile: . There are absolutely no restrictions on what I can teach about. It does not in any way have to be related to algebra or geometry, just mathematics in general. What I really need is...
Well I was learning bits about Electromagnetism in my physics class and we were learning about transformers and thought it was kind of neat. I was just wondering why transformers use alterneting current and why power must be delivered at such high voltages across transmission lines? Also, how...

Here are all the formulas I have learned in my pre-AP physics class so far, I just finished the 1st semester:
They are in no particular order.
F_c = \frac {mv^2}{r}
a_c = \frac {v^2}{r}
F_F = \mu * F_N
C = 2 * \pi * r
V_f = V_i + at
V_f^2 = V_i^2 + 2ad
d = V_i * t + \frac...

Well, I avoided this class as long as I could... and now I am stuck with it! I am in a beginner class, but the course is way too fast, and I can't figure out what the teacher is talking about. We are dealing with graphs and 'Straight Line Motion' right now, and I am so lost. I have a test...
if a physics professor substituted for a 2nd grade class and the student from left to right were like this :smile: :smile: :mad: :approve: :bugeye: :-p :cry: :rolleyes: :biggrin: :confused: :rolleyes: :redface: :wink: :frown: :cool: :eek: :devil: :blushing: :zzz...
I should have mentionned it, but I rather think about it first.
Suppose f:A->B and g:B->C
then g*f:A->C
That makes sense.
Then they talked about f*g!
Is this possible? Think about it. If f has domain A, and g has range C, than how can f(x) equal anything, since the range of C is...
It has been at least 5 years since my last math class and I am kinda struggling.

OK, my new professor in a microprocessor class asked this question, which I believe to be slightly open to interpretation:
If we needed and AND gates function, but had no AND gate, what single chip could we use to take it's place?
Now, this question was verbal, and he sent us home to...

I once read that tensors may be considered a special class of a more general class of entities called 'holors.' It was just a parenthetical comment; no further information was supplied.
Can anybody fill me in on this topic? In what sense is holor a generalization of tensor? What branches of...
Went to an amusment park yesterday for physics class. Went on a ride called the "hellevator" where you sit down and it shoots up a certain distance then let's you free fall. My question is if the acceleration upwards occurs in the first 5 meters how do you figure out that acceleration?

Okay, going completely crazy here. I'm in accelerated physics and we just got assigned the gravity car. The way its supposed to work is like this-- a weight is supposed to be dropped from a certain height and its supposed to propel the car forward (GPE converted into KE and so on). The car is...
This heated debate on animal testing happened in my English Class the other day. A large number of girls are against it. I personally am on the fence. So what's your take on the issue?
How many people bought class rings from high school? I always thought it was a waste of money personally, just like letter jackets. Who actually wears them out of high school?
