    My current work reflects how each photograph is a precious thing; the very fact we are here, now, and able to take these photographs. If everything was random would we be here at all? Once we start to calculate the chances of generating a photograph from random we reach some incomprehensibly large numbers. This work looks at what would happen if everything worked at random, and the results mirror this idea. Here is a randomly generate image using about eight colours based on the grey scale. Maybe

    Lottie rush 1 period science I wonder How does the moon affect the ocean What I know is All that I know is that the pull between the Sun and the Moon causes waves and that that gravity determines on how big the waves are and also the push between the cold and the hot above and below the water also determines how big the waves are How does the moon affect waves the Moon and the sun's gravitational pull causes the waves because the force of it pushes the tide in and out and that's why you have

    The Leafy Lilly Irrigation System is a Rube Goldberg machine that waters a plant using a system of twelve simple machines. This machine is started with five books, used as third class levers, which are good tools to use when you want to transfer force without the outcome varying from the original goal that was in mind when building the machine. When the last book is knocked over, it falls off of a ledge and hits an inclined plane that allows the book to easily travel a greater distance by letting

    In our data, the least mass of 10 grams had an acceleration of -6.456 m/s2, followed by 50 grams with an acceleration of -9.133 m/s2, followed by 100 grams with an acceleration of -9.414 m/s2, lastly 200 grams had an acceleration of -9.614 m/s2. The group data did not have outliers in the average velocity values which were used to find the acceleration. In the grade data, 10 grams the data ranged from -6.430 to -9.605 m/s2, followed by 50 grams ranging from -6.949 to -9.795 m/s2, followed by 100

    anomalies in Fig 6a (now Fig 5a) become deeper after LMI.  Caption: Evolution relative to LMI of the climatological background temperature in hurricane-strength TCs between ±35° of latitude. Additionally, we mentioned that we are not gathering temperature measurements poleward of 35° of latitude to limit the sampling of profiles poleward of the jets (jets are located around ±45° of latitude during the local summer when tropical cyclones form). • Fig 4: If possible, it would be really helpful

    Stage 1 Physics investigation - Parachute Investigation The purpose of this assignment is to work out a parachute design and investigate parachute’s drop time. Parachutes are designed to fall slowly so that the person can land safely to the ground, as shown in figure 1. Parachutes are big, but not heavy and have a larger surface area for air resistance like traps the air from escaping out of it. This is because the air pushes the parachute back up, but the force of gravity pulls the parachute to

    Introduction During long term space flight the human body must fight through some very tough situations. Humans have evolved and were built to live in the environment we live in now and that means humans are built to live with earth’s gravitational pull. Along with this, earth’s atmosphere is a layer of protection that humans evolved with. During human space flight, both of these factors are taken out of the equation and humans begin to be faced with zero gravity and are forced to be without the

    Introduction: The topic selected for the following comparative essay is, “Original creation of the earth (nebular hypothesis vs. six-day creation).” This essay will discuss the key points and differences found in both of the creation theories. The young-earth six-day creation view will be compared against the secular nebular hypothesis. For introductory purposes the definition of the two theories will be provided as follows: the nebular hypothesis can be defined as, “A great cloud of gas and dust

    Determining g on an Incline Lab #1 Theory: During the early part of the seventeenth century, Galileo experimentally examined the concept of acceleration. One of his goals was to measure the acceleration due to gravity, or the acceleration of freely falling objects. Unfortunately, his timing devices were not precise enough to measure the free fall time directly. He decided to “dilute” gravity by using fluids, inclined planes, and pendulums. Galileo’s idea of diluting gravity using inclined planes
