Our Rube Goldberg machine used several physics concepts in order to complete its simple task, which was to turn on a Roomba. One of the most prominent physics concepts within our project was gravity and/or gravitational potential energy, which could be seen in places such as the inclined planes and the hammer swinging down. Gravity was the downward-pulling force that allowed the energy to be transferred from the top level, to the Roomba on the floor. The toppling rule was another major concept…

Over the course of the roller coaster height lab My group and I had to answer the question “ does the height of the ramp affect the speed of the marble”. We answered that yes the height of the ramp will make the speed of the marble increase. Our hypothesis was wrong, but, My group and I have discovered that the height of the ramp will not affect the speed of the marble. We also Discovered something new which was that the speed increased and decreased abnormally as we went along in the lab. Over…

regardless of gravity. Weight is how heavy an object is depending on the gravitational pull on the object. Step 1: Zero out the scale. Step 2: Weight the eggs to see that they have roughly the same weight. Step 3: Take one of the eggs and poke a hole in each end with a needle. Step 4: Blow one side of the egg and allow the bottom hole to drain the insides into a bowl. Step 5: When finished,…

“My name is Asori, my parents… were Jedi but I am not,” Before we could continue we both felt something dark in the force. Alarms went off in the ship and got thrown across the room because the ship got ripped out of hyperspace. “Red alert, red alert! Imperial fleet off our starboard, everyone to battle stations!” “We need to get the command deck,” I just nodded and…

investigate relationship between force, mass, and the motion of objects. 2. How does your rubber band car show Newton’s 1st Law of Motion? The first law states an object will stay at rest until acted upon unbalanced force. The car is at rest until the rubber band is twirl all on the stick. This mean a force has to be added for the rubber-band car to move. 3. How does your rubber band car show Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion? The second law is Force X Mass= Acceleration. The force is the rubber…

During times of stress I do tend to have negative thoughts. When I am stressed I have very high anxiety and this leads to thought of anger, sadness, loneliness, and often jump to the worst conclusion. My negative thought tend to differ depending on what I am stressed about. Lately I have been very stressed about my future wand I am going to do after I graduate. This type of stress gives my many feelings of self-doubt. I questions if I’m good enough, smart enough, and tend to get very down on…

any major war”. 6 Joint Warfare is the integration of military’s different services into one unified command for the purpose of successful warfare. The first modern major joint operations started in the late stage of World War I, where field armies supported by guns, mortars and tanks; as well as airplanes were employed. During World War II, majority of the operations were conducted on land but naval and air services were incorporated to support the land campaign in achieving their operational…

A present chronic stressor that I currently have is working for the Department of Corrections as a Corrections Officer. I have been working for over seven years now constantly doing the same thing over and over. Inmates repeatedly ask the same questions, and the same issues arise every day. Policies have changed, and more strict rules are enforced, and severe consequences are given to officers not doing their job. I work at an outside facility and which is very exhausting during the summer…

Background Work-life balance is a belief in an idea that one holds the fundamental right to pursue a career whilst maintaining time to attend to family, seek medical care, or engage in personal enjoyment. However, this quality of life hasn't always been the forefront of importance to the United States government and its industries. During the early 1900s men, women, and children alike were quite often shorted from their pay while being deprived of proper rest breaks made to confront exceedingly…

that vectors are used in everyday life. Vectors include magnitude and direction, without one or the other it would not be a vector. Several components make up a vector; these items are displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force. By finding the components one can find the horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, initial velocity, and maximum height. Physic equations can be used to help solve these problems. One important aspect that is known to affect vectors is an angle. Angles can help…
