A Response to the Fourth Dimensions

A Response to the Fourth Dimensions

                Wow. When talking about the fourth dimension, things get way to confusing but I found it very interesting. The fact that the universe can be a dilation of itself or the second dimension or that there is possibly an infinite amount of dimensions fascinates me. A question I would have though is that since the second dimension is viewed through our third dimension, and apparently the third dimension is viewed through the fourth dimension. Does that make our universe consisted of the fourth dimension that is outside or inside the plane of our universe which is the third dimension? I found this topic very interesting and I hope that I will research about it more. Also, is the fifth and upper dimensions entirely different to each other or are they like an extra layer of themselves? I want to discover the answers to these questions one day.

Grade of Roads

A response of "Grade of a Road"

The grade of the road is essential and vital information to know if you ever encounter one. These grades are usually expressed in a percentage and it explains the slope of the road. The percentage is the rise over run factor of the slope. It is basically the tangent but in a percentage. When having a x%, it means the slope various in an infinite amount of numbers because it is a variable. The road can be completely horizontal or completely vertical. This is important information because it tells the driver to take caution with their speed of the vehicle.

This website shows an article about the tram 28 in Portugal and it has a grade of 13.5%. Again, the information of the grade is completely vital because it tells the conductors when to slow down in order to avoid an accident.
