Questions Answers
1.) Some examples of people who must obey an authority figure. Even though they may not want to: When your commander tells you to drop and give him one-hundred push-ups and you do not feel like doing it that doing it that day. Another is, when your parents gives you a curfew even though you feel like staying out or staying up a little later. Last, when an officer ask you to leave the scene and you want to stay and be noisy.
2.) Yes military commanders should enforce harsh discipline on their soldiers to train and prepare them mentally and physically for wartime.
3.)Yes it is important for a military outfit to work as a team. Although they have a responsibility to the group. This is what they call a team player or a group discipline, looking out for one another.
4.) The consequence of a commander that is unable to keep his or her troops under control during wartime will not be prepared or ready to protect themselves or their teammate. Therefore, they would not have a chance of surviving.
Poem
The music and the poem goes hand in hand because the melody of the music plays up to what is happening in the poem. First, the tone plays soft metal music which is said to be the calm before the storm. This means there preparing mind, body, and soul to fight the war. Next, there is a upbeat which leads up to the soldiers fighting. Finally, the tone ends in a happy beat which means the war is over.

How has science and technology made wars impersonal, especially as it relates to technology? Science and technology made wars impersonal due to the fact that heavy and light mechanical vehicles, guns, and search units. Even though the issue is personal their war uses of attack doesn't seem that personal but like a riot in a city due to the fact that we and maybe other countries are fighting without declaring war. In my opinion the fighting style now after 9/11/2001 about a few years now is like bully vs kid, gang vs gang, and race vs race in a fight to prove who's stronger.
Likewise, what is the human impact of war - both domestically and personally? (Consider the perspective of a soldier in combat - a civilian in combat - and a civilian at home watching the combat.) The human impact about the war domestically and personally is the lost of combat soldiers at war believing in what there doing and trying to protect and make the country safe. The civilians in combat wouldn't be prepared for a disastrous fight that could result to them losing their lives. The civilians watching the combat would be confused because they believe the war should never happen, or they fell that they would lose their loved ones and feel they shouldn't be there, and then in the end part of them applaud the combat soldiers to protect them and the country.
How did your knowledge of the gas laws govern your design elements in reference to the cannon construction? My knowledge of gas laws helped designed the cannon by units needed such as the force, volume, pressure, and temperature. Using Gay-Lussac's Gas Law I can find the volume that is needed for the cannon by the size and height of our cannon by pressure 1 times temperature 2 divided by temperature 1. By using Charles Gas Law I can examine the temperature of the cannon which could affect the shot, and I could solve it by volume 1 times Temperature 2 divided by temperature 1. Using Boyle's Gas Law I can find the pressure needed for the cannon because of the size of the cannon by volume 1 times pressure 1 divided by pressure 2. The force is the way needed to shot the cannon far which can result in a far shot, a little shot, or no shot at all.
Specifically, how do/did pressure, volume, and temperature play a role in designing the most efficient cannon? The efficient cannon has the use of volume, pressure, and temperature to design, decide, and calculate the firing. The pressure can tell between the cannon either being fired out the cannon, exploded, or fired correctly to the designated area or shot somewhere else you don't want it to go. The temperature will determine the heat of cannon fired with can affect the area of the shot which could end up more destructively which can or will increase the fire pressure of the shot. The volume will calculate the trajectory of the angle, the correct height needed to be set at, the with of the cannon's fire, and a better accuracy of where it could land.
