    situation. When receiving a pass you catch or slow the balls momentum to zero, which is called impulse, the interaction that changes an object’s momentum-a force acting for a time interval (Kirkpatrick Wheeler 107). This is shown in an equation form by, F=P/Dt. By increasing the time over which you decelerate the ball, you lessen the force (Bill Willis 2001). This increase of ‘stopping” time will make it easier to catch and control the ball. Impulse is the same concept in many things like the

After an emergency landing, Golding places a diverse group of boys on the island that soon turns out to be anything but utopia. The island the boys are on turns out to be an allegorical dystopia with inadequate conditions (Bryfonski 22). The boys reject all lessons they learned from their prior British society, and they turn towards their

    Path Integration Forms of spatial sensitivity among organisms are exceedingly wide-ranging. Spatial sensitivity among lower animals has been studied in its role in navigation. Many of these animals exhibit extraordinary navigational capacities. Amoebae have light sensitivities that lead them to liquid areas that serve their chemical needs. Crickets locate mates using sound. Path integration, or dead reckoning, is one of the four types of navigation. I begin by distinguishing the differences

    INTERPLANETARY DUST AND ORIBITAL DEBRIS Introduction The interplanetary dust particles are sized in between few cm to molecules. The dust particles are charged with +ve charge due to solar wind. The positive charge helps in reacting to the Lorentz force. The interplanetary dust grain population mainly originates in the main asteroid belt that is located between 2 to 4 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. Dust forms in collisions between bodies of different sizes and energies or may be carried in by
