The Galactic Readiness would then decide the final Effective Military Strength value. For example, if your Total Military Strength is 400, but your Galactic Readiness is 50%, then your Effective Military Strength would be 200 (50% of 400 is 200). Your total EMS in particular will determine the state of the Crucible when it docks with the Citadel, and thus what options are available to Shepard and how damaging its effects may or may not be.
The Synthesis Ending is the third option, and is only unlocked by having 2800 EMS (3100 in the Legendary Edition). You choose it by walking Shepard up to the white beam coming from the Crucible that's between the other two options. With such a high EMS rating, the main upshot of the Synthesis ending is that you are guaranteed to have no negative effects on the galaxy compared to other ending variations.

I learned that mass is a property of objects that specifies how much resistance an object exhibits to accelerate.
So, pushing an object with a greater mass would cause a smaller acceleration than pushing an object with a smaller mass, when the force is constant.
The fact that gravity works this way seemed like a miraculous coincidence to Einstein. He invented General Relativity as a better explanation of why objects with different masses fall with the same acceleration in a vacuum.
Schwanbeck, SR, Cornish, SM, Barss, T, and Chilibeck, PD. Effects of training with free weights versus machines on muscle mass, strength, free testosterone, and free cortisol levels. J Strength Cond Res 34(7): 1851-1859, 2020-Free weights offer a more unstable training environment, which enhances muscle recruitment, whereas some machines have the advantage of using a "cam" pulley system that better matches strength curves. We compared the effect of training with free weights vs. machines on muscle mass, strength, free testosterone, and free cortisol concentrations. Forty-six subjects (26 women; 22 3 years) were randomized to train using free weights or machines for 8 weeks (with each muscle group trained 2-3/weeks, 3-4 sets of 4-10 repetitions). Muscle thickness and strength were measured at 0 and 8 weeks. Salivary hormone concentrations were assessed before and at the end of workouts at the beginning, midway (4 weeks), and end (8 weeks) of the training intervention. Biceps and quadriceps muscle thickness increased (p < 0.01) with no difference between groups. There was a group time interaction for machine bench press strength (p = 0.05) with the machine group increasing more than the free-weight group (13.9 vs. 8.6%). Free-weight bench press and squat, and Smith machine squat strength increased in both groups (11-19%; p < 0.01) with no difference between groups. Men in the free-weight group had a greater increase in free testosterone from before to after acute training sessions than men in the machine group and all women (p < 0.01); however, there was no differences between groups in free cortisol response to acute resistance exercise. Training sessions with free weights induced greater increases in free testosterone in men; however, training with free weights or machines resulted in similar increases in muscle mass and strength.
To reach the ruins, Shepard will need to drive the Mako around the molten lava on the planet and deal with Geth, including massive Geth Armatures and a Geth Colossus. The Mako cannot touch the lava, or it will result in a critical mission failure for Shepard and the team. Additionally, players should note that they can use the Mako's artillery to soften some of the Geth and completely eliminate the Armature classes, but they will always receive more XP from kills made outside the Mako. One strategy might be to wear Geth down with the Mako's guns first, then hop out and finish the job on foot. It is a good idea to save frequently, particularly between fights, as enemies in this mission tend to be difficult to overcome early in the game.
The answer to the question (doesn't a more massive object accelerate at a greater rate than a less massive object?) is absolutely not! That is, absolutely not if we are considering the specific type of falling motion known as free-fall. Free-fall is the motion of objects that move under the sole influence of gravity; free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance. More massive objects will only fall faster if there is an appreciable amount of air resistance present.
The actual explanation of why all objects accelerate at the same rate involves the concepts of force and mass. The details will be discussed in Unit 2 of The Physics Classroom. At that time, you will learn that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. Increasing force tends to increase acceleration while increasing mass tends to decrease acceleration. Thus, the greater force on more massive objects is offset by the inverse influence of greater mass. Subsequently, all objects free fall at the same rate of acceleration, regardless of their mass.
In recent exposure modeling studies diet has been identified as the dominant pathway of human exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). However, the paucity of highly sensitive and accurate analytical data to support these studies means that their conclusions are open to question. Here a novel matrix effect-free method is described for ultra-trace analysis of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs, all homologues from perfluorohexanoic acid to perfluorododecanoic acid) and perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids (PFSAs, perfluorohexane and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid) in dietary samples of varied composition. The method employs ion pair extraction of the analytes into methyl
tert-butyl ether and subsequent solid phase extraction clean-up on Florisil and graphitized carbon. Instrumental analysis was undertaken using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Special care was taken to avoid procedural blank contamination and potential contamination sources were elucidated. The performance of the method was evaluated for five different food test matrices including a duplicate diet sample. Method detection limits in the low to sub pg g-1 range were obtained for all target analytes, which are 5-100 times more sensitive than previously reported for duplicate diet samples. The method provided recoveries consistently between 50 and 80% for all analytes in the food matrices tested and effects of co-extracted matrix constituents on ionization were found to be negligible.

Cement is a thoroughly standardized product. It is manufactured from limestone and shale which are crushed to extreme fineness, then subjected to high temperatures, which process produces a fused mass which when cooled is known as clinker. The clinker is then ground into the finished product which is then ready for transportation and use. Clinker is not subject to deterioration, but the ground clinker or cement deteriorates rapidly on exposure to moisture and cannot be kept in storage except for a limited period of time. The defendant corporations are manufacturers of this product, which is shipped in interstate commerce principally within the areas of the several States in which the several defendants are located, and they are competitors in the business of shipping the product in interstate commerce. From 60% to 65% of the total product of the several corporate defendants is sold *592 to the general trade for immediate use. Of this 60% to 65% approximately two-thirds is sold to dealers who are allowed a differential from the sales price to the retail trade.
The specific job contract and the practices of the trade with respect to making deliveries in performance of those contracts were customary in the trade long before any of the collective activities complained of in this case. We do not understand the Government to contend that the use of specific job contracts by defendants, or that their use generally by the trade, is the result of any agreement or understanding, or in itself constitutes any violation of the Sherman Law. It is contended that the violation arises rather from the co-operation among the several defendants in acquiring and distributing information with reference to specific job contracts and the effect of the dissemination of that information on the trade, to which reference will now be made.
The specific job contract is a form of contract in common use by manufacturers of cement whereby cement is sold for future delivery for use in a specific piece of construction which is described in the contract. As was stated in the opinion of the court below, they are contracts "whereby a manufacturer is to deliver in the future, cement to be used in a specific piece of work, such as a particular building or road, and the obligation is that the manufacturer shall furnish and the contractor shall take only such cement as is required for or used for the specific purpose." These contracts have, by universal practice, been treated by cement manufacturers as, in effect, free options customarily made and acted upon on the understanding that the purchaser is to pay nothing until after *595 the delivery of the cement to him; that he is not obligated in any event to take the cement contracted for unless he chooses to; that he is not held to the price named in the contract in the event of a decline in the market price; whereas the manufacturer may be held to the contract price if the market advances and may be held for the delivery of the full amount of cement required for the completion of the particular piece of construction described in the contract. The practical effect and operation of the specific job contract therefore is to enable contractors who are bidding upon construction work to secure a call or option for the cement required for the completion of that particular job at a price which may not be increased, but may be reduced if the market declines. It enables contractors to bid for future construction work with the assurance that the requisite cement will be available at a definitely ascertained maximum price.
