    rose above the initial negative expectations. Sadly it was not the best out of them all, but it got pretty close. While doing this project there were some major components that should be discussed such as the efficiency of Fourtris (the boat), the buoyancy and it’s effects, and why our best test score was are best. Even though Fourtris could have some improvements, it was overall a successful project and was very fun to put together. Fourtris efficiency percentage was 38.16% which isn’t terrible

    Our boats had compartments filled with air so the boat wouldn't sink. We had two different designs. Our first one had two bottom layers, with air in between. It had thick walls to keep out water. Our first boat stayed afloat because the air and buoyancy. Our second boat had a different design. It resembled a pouch filled with air with a hole in the top, like a piggy bank. The hole was used to insert pennies. This second boat stayed afloat because the pouch was filled with air. The air has a lesser

    water, and a graduated cylinder. Terms scientists use when studying submarines are positive buoyancy, negative buoyancy, buoyant force, and displacement of water. Buoyant force is an upward push created by the displacement of water. Displacement or displacement of water is moving water out of the way. An object has a positive buoyancy when the object weighs less than the water it is displacing. Negative buoyancy is “If an object weighs more than the water it has pushed aside, it’s downward force will

    it’s happening everyday. Using fluid mechanics, we can determine why floating objects come together due to surface tension, viscosity and buoyancy (Grayson, 2014). This cheerios effect also applies to other floating objects such as paperclips. The main principles that cause objects to float together are surface tension, buoyancy and viscosity. Surface tension is caused by the presence

    It consists of two gas-filled sacs found on the dorsal side of the fish (Bond, 1996). They are able to reach neutral buoyancy by controlling the amount of gas pressure. Most of them fill up their swim bladder with their pneumatic duct which is a link between their swim bladder and gut (Bond, 1996). They gulp air into their duct in order to fill it. When they gulp for air

    and two other persons drowned. The Rafting Company fitted each person on the raft with a life jacket with “normal adult buoyancy rating”. According to Provincial authorities, the tour company did not provide an adequate life jacket to support the heavy weight of a person Hal’s size. The life jacket was adequate for a “normal adult buoyancy rating” – what is normal adult buoyancy? Hillary & Hal verbally agreed to something they were not provided all the facts about. When they arrived and paid the

    they are driven by buoyancy and they spend much of their flight time in stable, steady motion. This project deals with the modelling the control system for efficiently maneuvering the glider using the equations of motion for the underwater glider. After modelling the system it is simulated with various inputs such as step, impulse and sine inputs. Then the system is checked for its stability by varying the parameters related to the glider such as the mass of the actuator, buoyancy. The Pitch and translation

    Globally, marine ecosystems, in particular, coral reefs, are experiencing increasing pressure due to the growth in recreational scuba diving, and snorkeling. Pressure refers to the frequency, and quantity of divers, and dive boats on any particular reef. This pressure often results in damage to the reef, and is caused by divers, snorkelers, and even dive boat anchors, and anchor lines, furthermore, this damage takes significant time to repair, due to the rate at which coral grows, and repairs itself

    Project 1: How Does the Moon Compare to the Moons of Other Planets Earth’s moon did not always exist. According to a theory known as the “Big Whack,” a roving planetoid, Theia, and the ancient Earth were on the same plane in the solar system. Theia, which is believed to have been at least the size of Mars, collided with the ancient Earth approximately 4.5 billion years ago. The resulting debris, material from the ancient Earth’s mantle, is what is said to have formed our current day moon.
