    Our roller coaster is about three and a half feet tall and two feet wide. It has one loop, two funnels, three turns, one five-part zig-zag, and one pulley leading from the end to the top, and four bells that rang and vibrated when the marble hit them. Our group divided the work by, assigning people jobs, then switching after a while. An example of that some people would score and other group members would fold, or some would build and others would test, and we took turns switching jobs. Something

    Introduction Car crashes are most commonly caused by speeding. This is due to the time it takes for the driver to realise they need to engage the brakes, and the time required for the car to fully stop. This is known as the stopping distance. The stopping distance depends on two factors. Firstly, reaction distance, which is the time it takes for the driver to know that they need to brake. While this is happening the car continues to move. The average time it takes for a driver to react is 1.5 seconds

    mechanical energy of each of the basketballs, as seen in Graphs 6 and 12. The total mechanical energy is simply the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the basketball. The shape of the graph is a plateau of flat near-constant mechanical energy during the air-time and sharp decreases with a rebound to a lower plateau after each bounce. As seen in the graphs for kinetic and potential energy, the well-inflated basketball had a value of total mechanical energy of 3.45 Joules when it was in the

    Reality is Merely an Illusion Created by the Brain and Body Jayson Duffy Victory Charter School Abstract Reality is an illusion. This paper details the different ways that the brain and body integrate sensory information into our perception of reality. Each sense contributes to our personal realities and add to the illusion of what is and is not real. Each sense gathers and begins integration of sensory information to be sent to the brain. The brain contains specialized areas designed for the integration

    What the renewable energy is? Renewable energy is energy or power that is created from natural resources such as wind power, oceanic waves, and the sun. These resources can be used to replace other energy generators such as electricity and gasoline. The aim: On this project aiming is to use renewable energy on the UAV , therefore, it will be able to fly for longer distance without needs of landing for recharging or filled with fuel. In addition to that, solar panels are the reasonable solution for

    Seeking a solution for Indonesia’s infrastructure gap After the 1998 crisis, Indonesia’s economy is known to be quite resilient with a persistent positive economic growth. However, Indonesia is still suffering from an infrastructure gap. Underinvestment in infrastructure, mainly in transportation has left the country with huge burden of logistic cost for the people. Under the current Joko “Jokowi” Widodo administration, Indonesia is now focusing on gaining back fiscal space to provide more funding

    Chris Walker Martha Kinsler Chemistry Honors 28 November 2015 Background Research. The slingshot is a weapon used by people for generations. It was originally just a strapped sling used to propel rocks. It usually was used as a lightweight hunting weapon and sometimes for defense (Yoder.) People had used it by rapidly spinning the string and letting it go, sending the rock flying at high speeds. It wasn’t until the mid-1800 's that the traditional slingshot we all know of today came into play
