Volvo Cars’ Direct-to-Consumer Shift: Competitive Impact

Researched how Volvo’s transition to a Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) sales model affects its competitive position. Combined Porter’s Five Forces with 10 years of UK market share data, R&D/Sales ratios, and ROCE benchmarks.

• Stronger brand control and more resilient market share post-DTC
• Rising ROCE (14.9% → 23.7%) despite modest R&D — capital efficiency
• Risks: higher buyer power, EV supplier leverage, price transparency

Does Acquiring Knowledge Destroy Our Sense of Wonder?

Explored how knowledge affects wonder across natural sciences and the arts. Argued that knowledge transforms rather than destroys wonder — sometimes deepening it, sometimes narrowing it, depending on context and openness.

• IB Chemistry demo (burning magnesium), Dalí’s Persistence of Memory, Cage’s 4′33″
• Science: wonder shifts from speculation to understanding
• Art: ambiguity can fuel wonder; explanations can both limit and enrich it

Optimal Launch Angle in Cricket

Modeled an in-game cricket shot using projectile motion, corrected perspective from video tracking, derived a generic time-of-flight, and optimized the horizontal range to find the launch angle that maximizes distance.

• Verified model with landing ≈33.1 m and a corrected horizontal trajectory
• Closed-form range from vertical + horizontal motion; calculus-based optimum
• Limitations noted (no drag/spin); proposed extensions for realism
