Lab 2 Summary In this lab, the purpose was to understand how to use a DMM to measure different things like resistances, current, and voltages as well as how to successfully comprehend the electrostatic relationship between various objects. In the first part of our lab we learned how to use a Digital Multimeter by using a simulator to draw diagrams of circuits. This helped give us a basic understanding that when dealing with a circuit and tools like a DMM, you have to connect wires to certain…

The performance of bottle rockets can be controlled by a multitude of factors. To understand these factors, mathematics can show us how they interact and how they affect performance. Water Bottle Rockets are mainly used for educational purposes in schools. They are used to explore basic aerodynamics and physics. Water rockets demonstrate many different forces such as weight, thrust, lift, and drag. Basic parts of a common bottle rocket include a nose cone, fins, a base, and a launcher used to…

[ IMG] If someone told me they wanted to make a cartoony, firefighting-themed roguelite with a jazz soundtrack, I’d probably think they’re a bit crazy. The small development studio, Laughing Jackal, managed to take these concepts and put them together in a wonderful game called Flame Over. The premise of the game is rather simple. You play as the appropriately-named firefighter, Blaze Carruthers, and run around various buildings trying to put out fires. Needless to say, the main goal is to…

traditional water heater is about 10 years, you may need a complete replacement. Fortunately, replacing with a tankless model offers numerous benefits. Energy Efficiency A standard model ewater heater uses energy continuously, whether you are using hot water or not, but a tankless model only uses energy when it is necessary. This reduces your home’s total energy usage, benefiting the environment and reducing your…

Should Creatine be Banned? Many athletes are taking this supplement Creatine to enhance their power and speed by increasing muscle repair. There are two questions that I will be answering.

Only about 25% of the country of Darwin is electrified. For those who are not on the electric grid, lighting is primarily done by kerosene lamps and homemade candles. Kerosene fuel can cost as much as 50 cents a night, a substantial amount of money considering most Haitians only make about 2 dollars a day. Besides cost, kerosene also has many negative health risks, specifically harmful fumes and the risk of broken glass and fire. Due to these factors, many Haitians do not have much if any…

After collecting all the results into the above experiment data tables and line graph, it is evident that there is not a great difference in the rate of transpiration between the cold water and water at room temperature. The results in the experiment indicate that cold water transpires at a faster rate than water at room temperature. The results were measured from 0 to 30 minutes. At the fifteen minute mark the transpiration rate for both differed slightly. In trial two and three, the results…

average professional basketball player trains six days a week, one – three times a day and in order to maintain this high intensity, extensive training they must ensure that their bodies are getting the nutrition they need. The main source of this energy comes from a high carbohydrate intake, as it helps to fuel the body for the amount of training each athlete does. High-density carbohydrate foods are what a basketball player’s diet is significantly made up of; cereal, fruit, wholegrain bread…

Photosynthesis is like a squirrel that saves acorns for winter. This squirrel’s name is Chester. Chester must use his skills and some of his energy to go out and save up acorns for winter, which will provide him with energy when he needs it. He must expend some energy now to gain more energy in the future. The acorns he saves will later be broken down (eaten), and used for energy. They are stored in his tree until the period of time that Chester needs them. Plants and photosynthesis work…
