Gravitation

Our Rube Goldberg machine has fifteen steps, and in every step, there is a transfer of energy. In our machine there are three simple machines a wheel, a pulley, and a lever. These simple machines help conserve energy, and there is less work needed to accomplish a task. This project also helped us learn life lessons. Our Rube Goldberg machine starts with a ball at the top of a ramp with gravitational potential energy. As it rolls down the ramp, its gravitational potential energy turns into kinetic

A REFLECTIVE REPORT ON THE OILSIM EXERCISE Introduction: Oilsim, being a simulated training with a structured learning experience proved to be a high level team-work skills development exercise. Participating in the Oilsim challenge gives participants a unique perspective on the petroleum exploration and production exercise and also exposes them to situations that challenges their creative thinking skills. Teams were formed between participating students for the purpose of this exercise as well

Jeng Woo Park ESS 102 AD Research Paper The Effects of Long-Term Space Flight In the year 2121, Jay and his crew took flight into space. Jay’s mission was to reach a potentially habitable exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b, to colonize and recreate civilization after the nuclear destruction of Earth in 2028. With years of planning and preparing, he gathered one hundred of the brightest and healthiest men and women he could find and built a space craft that could travel at 0.8 of the speed of light.

Project 1: 1. Results for a: ht=500/ spd=0mph —too slow! Satellite crashed into Earth! Results for b: ht=500/ spd=100mph —too slow! Satellite crashed into Earth! Results for c: ht=500/ spd=25000mph —too fast! Satellite left viewing area and took off in space somewhere! I was determined to get a 100%, so I played around with the numbers until I found that at 500 miles above the Earth, the satellite would have to be launched at 16,700mph in order to reach a perfect orbit. Below is the explanation

Descriptions of the 8 planets including a dwarf planet: Mercury: Mercury is only slightly larger than earth’s moon and the sun is the closest to this planet than any other planet. This planet can reach 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 Celsius). Its diameter is 3,031 miles (4,878 km), its orbit is 88 earth days and mercury’s full day lasts 58.6 earth days. Venus: Venus takes first place when it comes to the hottest planet. Venus is substantially hot with an atmosphere that is toxic. The diameter is

Mathematical Exploration Investigating Forces Rationale: I have chosen to base my mathematical exploration around the topic of two dimensional kinematics, explaining the relationship of forces and the movement of objects. I decided to investigate the usage and applications of forces such as normal force, force gravity, and force friction. This includes examinations of objects on flat surfaces and inclined planes. I started investigating this topic after reading example works presented by my teacher

The photographs on the previous page were taken at Wild Walls Climbing Gym in Spokane, Washington. Photo #1 exhibits a climber while on the rock wall, supporting his own weight. Photo #2 displays the system employed by rock climbers to stay safe in the case of a fall. Two photos were taken in order to compare the system while the climber is on the wall and ascending against when the climber has fallen off the wall and is hanging by the rope. In the sport of rock climbing, the goal is, obviously

The gravitational acceleration depends on only the mass of the gravitating object M and the distance d from it. Notice that the mass of the falling object m has been cancelled out.” (http://www.astronomynotes.com) “To calculate its average speed you divide the distance travelled by the time it takes to travel that distance. The speed is usually measured in kilometres per hours (km/h) or, in the case, metre per second (m/s).” (Science World 10, Macmillan – P. Stannard and K. Williamson) Hypothesis:

No one wants to die. That is a fact of life and apart of human nature. Unfortunately, humans are the main source for increasing pollution rates, deforestation, a large contributor for climate change, and the overall destruction of our planet. This is not a local issue, a state issue, or even an issue subjected to just one country. This is a global issue that will effect everything. Our withering planet is why space travel is important for our society. Earth is our home. In fact, it’s home to over

Next year I am hoping for you to join me in my insane, adrenaline pumping ride called the crazy canoe capper. This ride is based off a wicked canoe ride. You will be flung around the adventure of a lifetime near rocks, sharks, hills, and water. The ride consists of a roller coaster, water ride, and a creepy place to be. Plus, you should be ready to go fast and slow, up and down, and side to side. When you are entering the building you will see a canoe in the water. Since it is called the crazing
