The Physics of Wind Turbines There is physics involved in these wind turbines as they change wind into mechanical energy and then into electricity. The energy produced depends on the volume of the air, the density, and the wind speed. The mass per unit time is the mass times the density times the wind speed or

Catch A Wave Activity Questions: What happens to a wave as it moves into shallow water? As a wave moves into shallow water, the friction created from the wave rubbing against the ocean floor causes the crest of the wave to curl forward. The crest continues to curl forward, until the wave crashes onto the shore. Describe how the slope of the seafloor controls the way a wave breaks.

The average person spends about four hours of training and sports pro athletes spend about eleven hours of training and conditioning. Lots of people think they can throw a ball one hundred feet at ninety five miles per hour but when they try they might not even throw it seventy miles per hour. Professional athletes have specialized skills on and off what they play. NFL athletes aren't just good on the field. For
