Nine-Wheel Logic

Examples of Nine-Wheel Logic in the following topics:

• Focus of an Advertisement

  • Nine-Wheel Logic: Specious support used when real support would be too awkward.

• Gyroscopes

  • A gyroscope is a spinning wheel or disk in which the axle is free to assume any orientation.
  • Rotating wheel: Consider a bicycle wheel with handles attached to it, as in .
  • Suppose the person holding the wheel tries to rotate it as in the figure.
  • Gyroscope: This same logic explains the behavior of gyroscopes (see ).
  • In figure (a), a person holding the spinning bike wheel lifts it with her right hand and pushes down with her left hand in an attempt to rotate the wheel.

• What is Multiple Intelligences Theory?

  • The intelligences are Verbal/Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Visual/Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalistic, and Existential.
  • Previously accepted ideas of human intellectual capacity contend that an individual's intelligence is a fixed entity throughout his lifetime and that intelligence can be measured through an individual's logical and language abilities.
  • The nine intelligences are outlined in more detail in the section below.
  • The nine intelligences may operate in consort or independently from one another.

• A Taxonomy of Knowledge

  • "Science, as John Ziman has emphasized, is the quintessential form of public knowledge, but propositional knowledge is much more: the practical informal knowledge about nature such as the properties of materials, heat, motion, plants and animals; and intuitive grasp of basic mechanics (including the six ‘basic machines of classical antiquity: the lever, pulley, screw, balance, wedge and wheel); regularities of the ocean currents and the weather; and folk wisdom in the ‘apple-a-day-keeps-the-doctor-away' tradition.
  • Geography is very much a part of it: knowing were things are is logically prior to the instructions of how to go from here to there" (Mokyr, p 5).

• Disengagement Theory

  • In Growing Old, Cumming and Henry develop a logical argument for why older adults would naturally disengage from society.
  • They formulate their argument along nine postulates to explain why it is rational for individuals who know that death is approaching and who have seen friends of their age pass to begin to anticipate their own deaths and disengage.
  • Postulate nine: Disengagement theory is independent of culture, but the form it takes is bound by culture.
  • Analyze the nine postulates of growing old and the impact at each stage for the elderly in society

• Introduction to Sleep

  • Most adults need seven to nine hours of sleep to recuperate from physical exertion, as well as to consolidate learning and memory.
  • Numerous studies have demonstrated that sleep deprivation can adversely affect brain growth and cognitive functions. fMRI studies performed on sleep-deprived subjects show that regions of the brain's prefrontal cortex, an area that supports mental faculties such as working memory and logical reasoning, displayed more activity in sleepier subjects.

• Factors that Affect Reaction Rate

  • When the brick is dismantled into nine smaller cubes, however, each cube has a surface area of $6(2 \times 2) = 24\ cm^2$, so the total surface area of the nine cubes is $9 \times 24 = 216\ cm^2$.
  • Keep in mind this logic only works for gases, which are highly compressible; changing the pressure for a reaction that involves only solids or liquids has no effect on the reaction rate.

• The Golden Age of India

  • This period became known as the Golden Age of India because it was marked by extensive inventions and discoveries in science, technology, engineering, art, dialectic, literature, logic, mathematics, astronomy, religion, and philosophy.
  • Chandragupta's court was even more influential than those that came before or after because it contained the Navaratnas, or the Nine Jewels, a group of nine scholars who produced advancements in many academic fields.

• Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom

  • Collaborative learning allows students to explore their interpersonal intelligence, while project-based learning may help structure activities designed to cultivate the nine intelligences.
  • In such a case, activities involving all nine intelligences may be presented as options for the class, but each student participates in only one or two of the tasks.
  • The timeline and map assignments are student-centered activities that are designed to enhance students' Logical/Mathematical Intelligence, but they also delve into Visual/Spatial Intelligence.
  • Students must collect and organize information for both the timeline and the map therefore using their Logical/Mathematical intelligence.
  • Teachers need not incorporate all nine intelligences into one lesson.

• Primitivism and Cubism

  • The next logical step, for Duchamp, was to present an ordinary object as a self-sufficient work of art representing only itself.
  • In 1913 he attached a bicycle wheel to a kitchen stool and in 1914 selected a bottle-drying rack as a sculpture in its own right.
