Jumping on a trampoline involves a bunch of different physics. Physics is a branch of science that is concerned with matter and energy. Jumping on a trampoline involves things such as gravity, kinetic, and potential energy. Gravity pulls you down when you jump so you dont stay in the air. Without gravity it wouldn’t be possible to come back down not only when jumping on a trampoline but also when walking in everyday life. The second law is involved by the more the person jumps the higher they go into the air, this is because the acceleration of how fast they are jumping. Newtons first law is involved in jumping on a trampoline. The first law has to do with someone standing still on the trampoline but when they bend their knees to jump he is

In 1855, Charles Goodyear invented the first soccer ball made out of rubber. Charles was in jail for debts, but while he was in jail, he asked his wife to bring him rubber, and a rolling pin.There, in his cell, he made his first rubber experiments , kneading and working the gum hour after hour. If rubber was naturally adhesive, he reasoned, why couldn’t a dry powder be mixed in to absorb it’s stickiness? Perhaps the talc-like magnesia powder sold in drugstores? Out of jail, he tried, with promising results. After inventing vulcanized rubber, he invented the first soccer ball.

While the public might be oblivious, inanimate objects in society tell a story. They tell about the changes in the United States’ government, racial tensions, and social classes. The history of swimming pools accomplishes telling this story. The time periods of 1880s, 1930s, and 1960s reflect how the use of swimming pools have changed, which can be contributed to the changing role of government, race, and class.

Superglue was created by Harry Coover. It all started in 1942 he created a substance to reduce skin impurities called Cyanoacrylate. It turned out to be a HUGE failure, it stuck to everything. After this failure the substance was forgotten for six years. He later noticed that Cyanoacrylate formed a strong bond without the need of heat. He put a patent on "Superglue" in 1958. Biddle.S (92010) Potato chips were also created by chance, a hotel guest wanted his potato's crispier and potato chips were made. Lane. J (n.d) Velcro was also invented by George De Mestral. He noticed when walking his dog that burs (seed or dry fruit that has hooks or teeth) stick to him and his dog. He then went to a lab and looked the burs under a microscope and recognized that the burs had hook like features that stuck to his pants. Lane,

Wilbur Wright invented The Wright Flyer on December 17,1903 in Kitty Hawk,North Carolina. They went to Kitty Hawk because it had strong winds. In 59 seconds it flew 852 feet in the air. To make the airplane they tested birds on how they flew and they angled there wings. They invented the airplane because they heard of a German glider pilot Otto Lilienthal and he died in a glider crash and The Wright Brothers were wanting to decide to start experimenting about flying in 1899. The Wright brothers did not have any money to make the Wright flyer. They also invented aircraft,and fixed-wing aircraft. In 1905 they were proud of The Wright Flyer because they sold a airplane to The United States Army. In 1900 and 1901 they flew 2 gliders and they

This essay about me is how I learned to do flips on a trampoline, and how doing these flips gave me excitement in my life. Doing these flips also gave me confidence in my life.
