Sudeep Gubbala 11/13/17 B Block Science Essay Question In the Paper Airplane Lab Activity, we flew many different types of paper airplanes as a class. The goal and purpose of the lab was to try to design a plane that could fly the farthest distance. We each tested our own paper airplane two times and we recorded the distance, time, and speed of our paper airplane. We found the average of our distance, time, and speed and turned that into our final data. The reason we tested it twice was…

In the popular Disney movie “Toy Story” woody tells Buzz Lightyear to prove that he can fly. Buzz goes throughout the room using object to “fly” throughout the room. So can Buzz Lightyear really fly? I argue no, he can not. The main three reason is he uses props to keep him from falling, The definition of the word “fly” is “moving through the air with wings” which he does not do by himself, and the laws of aviation also is consider to why he can not fly. Let's get more into detail on why I say…

Physics Fair – Bottle Rocket (Introduction, Materials and Method) Introduction A bottle rocket is composed of two elements, energy and fuel. The energy in the case of a bottle rocket is compressed air as it is pumped into a soda bottle, half filled with water by a bicycle pump. Compressed air is an excellent source of energy because it is very lightweight and can store a plentiful amount of energy, also it does not weigh down the rocket. Water is then used as the fuel for the rocket. Water is…

Background Knowledge The question for this experiment is, Does the angle of an airplane wing affect the average rate of descent of the plane while gliding? So, the thing that is being tested is if the angle of an airplane wing, which determines the average rate of descent. In this experiment, the average rate of descent will be found by dividing the distance the plane traveled by the time it took the plane to land. First, how planes fly needs to be understood. Airplanes fly because the wings…

in a vacuum there is no air resistance at all, because there is no air. If I were in an evacuated chamber and dropped a feather and a bowling ball at the same instant, both would hit the level ground at the exact same time. That should give you a clue. However this is completely different than what we experience in everyday life, and that is due to air resistance. Air resistance is simply air particles getting in the way of whatever is trying to move. There is Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon…

Fig.\ref{Str_1_T} compares the jet trajectory measurement for the open nozzle configuration at the two blower velocities. Fig.\ref{Str_1_W} compares the weight distribution along the centerline axis, normalized with respect to the total mass distributed. Fig.\ref{Profiles_1}.a shows the centerline profile of the straw distribution on the ground, normalized to their respective maximum weights and Fig.\ref{Profiles_1}.b shows the jet spreading along curvilinear trajectory $\zeta$.…

Myoelastic-aerodynamic theory is the term used to describe the way that the vocal folds vibrate. The theory consists of an interaction of muscle forces (myo), elastic recoil forces (elastic), and aerodynamic forces. I will now describe the myoelastic-aerodynamic theory using the following diagram. Diagram A starts on the exhalation phase and the vocal folds are in phonatory position. The vocal folds are contracted by the Interarytenoids and the Lateral cricoid arytenoids. These muscles (IA and…

A lot of ideas taken from science play a part in vocal fold vibration. Both the Myoelastic Aerodynamic Theory and Bernoulli Effect deal with pressure and help to explain how vocal folds operate to create phonation. These processes can also be applied to real-life situations. The Myoelastic-Aerodynamic Theory describes the process of vocal fold vibration. It is important to recognize that the vibration of the vocal folds is the result of the interaction between tissue properties and airflow, not…

Introduction:- A Wind Tunnel is tool used in Aerodynamics research to study the effect of air moving past solid objects. A wind tunnel consists of a tubular passage with the object under test mounted in the middle. Air is made to move past the objects by a powerful fan system or other means. The test object, often called a wind tunnel model is instrumented with suitable sensors to measure aerodynamic forces, pressure distribution, or other aerodynamic related characteristics. 1.2 History:-…
