What is Opposing: Definition and 63 Discussions

Opposing Viewpoints is a series of books on current issues which seeks to explore the varying opinions in a balanced pros/cons debate. The series attempts to encourage critical thinking and issue awareness by providing opposing views on contentious issues. The online versions are managed by Cengage Gale and the print versions are available through Rosen publishing.Each book features black and white illustrations and cartoons, bibliographies, glossaries, chronologies, indexes, activities, and discussion questions. They are published by Greenhaven Press and are heavily used in both school and public library collections.A review of the online database, Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, reads, "The print series has long been a staple in secondary school and young adult collections for research and debate preparation on hot topics in social studies and science."Christine Nasso of Greenhaven Press told Booklist, "When we learned our customers wanted series content to be made available in a fully searchable database, we responded with the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center".In 2017, Gale offered a Chrome extension to help students identify its Opposing Viewpoints in Context results in Google searches.

    Work on Block with an opposing force

    Homework Statement Two forces, of magnitudes F_1 = 75.0 N and F_2 = 20.0 N, act in opposite directions on a block, which sits atop a frictionless surface, as shown in the figure. Initially, the center of the block is at position x_i = -1.00 cm. At some later time, the block has moved to the...

    Calculating the Force Opposing Gravity in Orbital Simulations

    I am writing a program to do some orbital simulations. For ease of conversation, let's start with the sun and the earth. If the Earth were standing still, the sun would pull it in quite rapidly. As the Earth is moving at about 1.47 kilometers per second, that movement creates a force opposing...

    Mass Spring Damper system with opposing springs

    I'm sure I must be being a bit dim here, but I can't work this out! I have a mass-spring-damper system, as shown in the attahed picture, in which i have a mass suspended between two springs and dampers, each of which are attached to a fixed surface. he two opposite surfaces are part of the...

    Opposing forces connected by a rope

    I have a simple question to resolve a dispute at work. If I have two opposing forces connected by a rope, applying 50 lbs of force in opposite directions, do i have 50 lbs of force on the rope or do i have 100 lbs of force? (of course assuming no friction and what not)
