Buoyancy

you swim faster, smarter, better. If you’ve faced your fear, learn your swim basics. When swimming always relax and don’t fight the water. (Griffin, 2009) Floating can also be a way of physics in swimming. Your body type has a lot to do with your buoyancy. Relates to the size of your lungs to the rest of your body determines how high in the water will float. Streamlines are a teardrop contour line that offers the least possible resistance to occur to a current of air, water, etc. X= Vector…

Thousands upon thousands of animals. Soaked head to toe, in thick black pollution. Dying. Why? Because a large profit oil company, decided to cut costs. Because they were more concerned with money lying within the waters, than the animals who call them their home. A selfish act, some would say, is what took place at BP. An issue that started off local, but lead to global repercussions, the “BP Oil Spill”, better known as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, began on April 10th, 2010, and lasted…

The Galapagos Islands are located 727 miles straight west of the country of Ecuador. They were discovered accidentally by Tomas de Berlanga, the first Bishop of Panama. He drifted off course and ended up there while travelling from Panama to Peru. He was not overly impressed with what he found due to the lack of fresh water and their inability to sustain their stay. There was not much interest in the Islands for many years, until, however, Charles Darwin found the “Mystery of Mysteries,” the…

Background: Photosynthesis is the process by which photoautotrophs convert photons of kinetic light energy into potential chemical energy (food) by synthesizing glucose from water and carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen as a waste product. Sunlight radiation travels in waves but acts like particles of energy called photons. During photosynthesis, these photons are harvested to produce chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates. Autotrophs are “self-feeder” organisms that make their own…

The phrase “New Wave” was a blanket term given to a materializing film movement in Europe in the late1950’s and 1960’s, mainly in France, Italy, and England where an abrupt manifestation of brilliant films emerged. This movement consisted of two groups of directors, the Cahiers , majorly consisting of critics turned filmmakers and the Left Bank who consisted of individuals who went straight into filmmaking. Jean-Luc Godard was within the Cahier division. In collaboration with Francois Truffaut,…

Athletic Training Athletic Trainers are related to doctors. They work hard to provide their patients with the best care to help recover from any illness or injury. Trainers do their best to get patients back to their normal state of health. They also inform patients with proper exercises and how to properly care for their injuries at home. I will inform the reader on the job description, salary, and requirements for athletic training. Athletic trainers perform physical rehabilitation to…

the strongest material to build a boat out of so this will be a challenge. Objectives The intention of this lab is to use the scientific method to create a foil boat than can float and hold at least one hundred pennies. It is to demonstrate the buoyancy, or the ability to float in water, the boat built from the aluminum foil. Materials The supplies used in this Penny Boat Lab includes one sheet of tin foil (“12” by “12”), one hundred pennies, and a bucket of water. Procedures 1. First, we…

This essay will use primary and secondary sources to justify war. The primary sources used will be a speech from the Queen of the Celts, Boudicea, and one from Great Britain’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The two secondary sources will come from scholarly, peer reviewed sources. They will be used to back up the primary sources. These two speeches took place at different times in history. However, both show the justifications that these leaders used to encourage their people to fight with…

2.1 Microalgae. The term microalgae refer to the microscopic algae and the oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria, i.e. the cyanobacteria, formerly known as Cyanophyceae (Richmond 2004). The word algae represent a large group of different organisms from different phylogenetic groups, representing many taxonomic divisions. In general algae can be referred to as plant-like organisms that are usually photosynthetic and aquatic, but do not have true roots, stems, leaves, vascular tissue and have simple…

rig you leave off the weight!.... NO WEIGHT!!!!!..... Then finally, you tie the hook (preferably a "Light Wire" worm hook) with only allowing about a 1’ leader for the leader line. The reason for no weight and a light wire hook is to allow as much buoyancy as possible. This rig is designed mostly for Floating Worms and buoyant plastic artificial…
