Flipper

scoring to continue. One of the most significant innovations in the history of pinball is arguably the flipper bat, invented by Harry Mabs. For a while pinball was considered gambling because it had payouts. The flipper bat redeemed pinball because the flipper made it a game of skill. The invention of the flipper was so significant that in France pinball is simply referred to as “Le Flipper.” The first video game was created by a man named Steve Rusell. He was short, wore glasses, and had curly

Physics of Pinball Pinball is a fast pace game of physics and skill. With the knowledge of the mechanics and the physics of how the game works it can be played more effectively. Friction, gravity, potential energy, kinetic energy, circuits and momentum are just a few of the aspects of physics apply. The first thing to do to start a game of pinball is to insert the coin. This alone requires many fundamental aspects of physics. The player inserts the coin and lets gravity take over. Gravity

Drag is a common force in the universe, and occurs in everyday life especially in water. Mr. Redman states that,” forward is a propelling force; drag is a force that hinders that motion” or is the force acting in opposition to the motion of an object. Parachutes are a great example of this force; when air is trapped in the nylon of a parachute, it creates drag slowing the velocity of the parachutist. Water drag is acted upon swimmers at all times. Hydrodynamics show that materials of the swimmers

Many children throughout the United States are in high-end glitz beauty pageants. Children can start competing at the age of 12 months and keep competing until they are 17, then they move up to an adult beauty competition. Children beauty pageants have been banned in different countries, due to the negative aspects. Many Americans do not see that beauty pageants can be harmful to children, and the pageants get worse and worse each year. They utilize many tools adults do and use on an everyday basis

Did you even know whales ever lived on land? The whales are the biggest animals. They are larger than the largest dinosaurs. They live in the ocean like other sea creatures, but they almost look like the land-living animals more than the fishes. Furthermore, some scientists believed that around fifty millions of years ago, the whales probably lived upon the land. There are two significant exhibits from the two different periods why the scientists astonish about whale's living is familiar to land-living

to the ocean. Cetaceans are fully aquatic marine mammals. There are around 88 different species of cetaceans, which consist mainly of whales and dolphins. Cetaceans evolved many years ago to adapt to their lives in water, forming two limbs into flippers and creating streamlined bodies

The housing crisis in the late 2000’s was created in part from subprime loans that lenders gave to individuals that did not have to provide proof of income that they could afford the house. This was a disaster likely to repeat itself. If a person is hoping to buy a home, they will buy whatever the lender allows them to purchase even though it could be a financial stretch. Lenders, builders, sellers, appraisers, buyers, owners, and governmental policy makers are all still gambling with the economic

children and the dolls are the kids. Parents give their kids ten pixie sticks before their child goes on stage so they can have a boost of energy and look lively on the stage and not look like they're bored and don't want to be there. They have to wear flippers which hide any visible gaps between the children's teeth. Beauty pageants send the message to contestants that appearance is the most important thing about a person. Children will think that they need to spend thousands of dollars to make themselves

recorded was 33.6 m (110 feet). It is the biggest animal ever discovered (so far). The head only cover 1/4th (25%) of their entire body length. Color: Blue whales are blue-gray in color with white patches covering their body. The undersides of the flippers are lighter in color, and sometimes white, while the underside of the tail is dark. In Antarctica, the North Pacific, and the North Atlantic,

Andrew Shin Mr. Coltman Anthro 1 April 23, 2015 Defending Evolution and its Importance The definition of creationism is the belief that the universe and living organisms originated from specific acts of a divine creation, as a biblical account, rather than natural processes such as evolution. Creationism is perhaps one of the biggest roadblocks that divides the educational system; it prevents the teaching of biological evolution because evolution is inconsistent with creationist ideals. Thus many
