launch over, and the speed he needs to reach in order to clear the gap. He also knows how high he can expect himself launch, that way there are no surprises. The calculations are very important to the success of a motorcycle jump, but physics also play a role in the development of improvements. With better technology comes new improvements; better motorcycles, ramps, and protective gear. Motorcycles will be built with more power, acceleration, and speed. They will be lighter

The Great Gatsby. Link, the main character in The Legend of Zelda was inspired by Peter Pan, because Miyamoto wanted his protagonist to be recognizable by the audience. The Legend of Zelda takes place in a medieval Western Europe inspired fantasy land, called Hyrule. The game itself is so simple, that anyone could start playing.

INTRODUCTION: Early in the morning on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States. The storm itself did a great deal of damage, but its aftermath was catastrophic. Levee breaches led to massive flooding, and many people charged that the federal government was slow to meet the needs of the people affected by the storm. Hundreds of thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama were displaced from their homes, and experts estimate that Katrina caused more

Civilization: The West and the Rest, presented by Niall Ferguson, is a documentary in which Ferguson reveals what he calls the six killer applications which has helped Western civilization dominate over everyone else. These six applications are competition, science, property, medicine, consumerism, and work. The application and episode that will be analyzed for this paper is science and the reasons for which Ferguson believes that science helped the West become to be number one. 1,000 years ago

powerful and destructive. Hurricane Formation A hurricane is basically is a huge storm! It can be up to 1000 miles across and have strong winds up to speeds of 75 to 200 mph. A hurricane forms when

key component to form a tornado is wind shear. Wind shear is the change in wind speed and direction of wind while the warmer and cooler air are chasing each other around in the circle, creating the height of the tornado. (“Prepare for a Tornado,” 2017) Although tornados have been recorded in every continent except for Antarctica most are found in central United States better known as “tornado alley” a stretch of land from the western part of Texas to North Dakota. On average, there are two thousand

Drones are being implemented into everyday life and seem harmless. Companies use them to deliver packages and the everyday Joe use them for recreational purposes. So no one takes into account on how dangerous they can be, but these drones are vehicles and can be dangerous not only in the wrong hands but in everyday accidents. Drones need to have limits to what they can do, and where they can fly. They are vehicles and are required to be registered, so it's reasonable that if they have to be registered

Japan and Switzerland. Shipping and cargo trains: Most of the income of the Railway systems in many countries from transporting and shipping goods as shipping goods through railways for long distances is cheaper than any other shipping method of land transportation. It can be stated that shipping trains in the past Soviet Union transported the largest amount of goods in the world, and then comes in the second place the United States then China. Company trains also transport a lot of goods, as each

Earth’s tides by shifting and relating land features, using its gravitational pull to change the height of the tides, and also affecting the speed of the Moon’s revolution. To start, the Earth’s aquatic tides are the constant rise and fall of bodies of water every day (Jacobs 9). Gravity, provided by the Moon and some parts of the Sun, helps create the ocean’s tides (Jacobs 10). It is also often caused by the winds forcefully
