Intent supports mission command and guides joint forces by an understanding of how their higher commander visualizes the operation and what the desired end state looks like. Subordinates are delegated the authority to make decisions “wherever possible”, which allows them to exercise initiative based on…

Have you ever thought about making a contraption that protects eggs when dropped from ten feet? This machine can consist of popsicles, a maximum of ten balloons, a raw and hard boiled egg, as well as dixie cups, a small plastic bag, and glue. As a machine can protect an egg breaking on the ground, so can machines protect rovers when landed on a planet. Through viewing this, you can find out what type of machine my partner and I will use for our very own egg drop, and where you would see it…

very light, it is moving at an incredibly high speed relative to the duck. All moving massive objects possess this property of momentum, a quantity proportional to the mass of the object times its velocity. Momentum is what allows objects to exert forces; it is the mechanism whereby two objects in a collision can influence one another. When two objects collide, they both enter the collision with some momentum – both have some mass and some velocity – both leave with some momentum; however, the…

Do you want to know what makes super cars go fast? Tune in to this science project to find out. In this science project, you will see aerodynamics, drag, and wind speed do its process on cars. In my experiment,on each car, there are streamers on them.When my wind tunnel turns on, streamers that fly everywhere will represent drag, and streamers that stick to the car will represent aerodynamics. In real life, they use smoke to figure out where drag is.Sometimes, they will put streamers on the car…

thing good and finding a balance of good and evil. Master Yoda says this to Luke to help him understand the force. “You will know when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack,” (Yoda Quotes, 2017). He also said “Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path,…

Using physics, we can calculate the mass of a bolt fired from a blaster used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. First of all, we know that these bolts are not lasers based on two facts: they can be seen from the side and they do not travel at the speed of light. Thus, from there, we have to find their velocity. Rhett Allain calculated that to be about 35 m/s. He did this by finding distance and time of various bolts fired throughout the series, dividing the two measurements, and averaging out all…

Angular Acceleration is described as the rate of change of angular velocity, it is also recognized as rotational acceleration. According to the author the magnitudes and lengths of angular acceleration vectors are proportional to the rate of change of angular velocity. Depending on the direction in which an object such a platter is rotation the angular acceleration could be pointing toward or away the observer, in this lab we are going to be investigating the rotational motion for which a dish…

and the 40° angle. This may have occurred due to an error in recording the data or a bad ticker timer being used. 2. What forces are acting on the object while it is sliding down the slope? When the object is sliding down the slope the gravity component is the force which pulls the object down. This force also results in the object accelerating. 3. Explain how the forces change as the angle of the slope…

will keep following that pathway. Near the Earth's surface, the influence of gravity begins immediately and affects the entire course of the projectile's flight. A projectile's horizontal velocity remains constant. It does not accelerate. But the force of gravity causes a projectile to accelerate in a vertical direction down toward the surface of the Earth. The influence of gravity pulls the projectile away from its straight-line original path into a curved, parabolic path. Downward acceleration…

The objective of this lab was to figure out how to determine the range from a given set of velocity and height from the ball. The height of the ball when it leaves the horizontal projectile is at 93.5cm or .935m. The velocity of the ball was .0674 seconds in the range of .1 meter. Creating a total velocity of 1.484m/s. To calculate the hang-time the formula: y= -4.9t^2 was used. The hang time is used to figure out how long the ball will be in the air for. After you find the answer, the time is…
