Celestial pole

a tent without poles is a difficult task; sleeping in one for a week is even harder. The wind blows at the feeble attempt of shelter, constantly swaying the loose tarp scrappily tied between two trees. The rain seeps down through ill-positioned window flaps to create a permeating dankness. The supposed place of refuge from wilderness becomes a suffocating box as the canvas slowly collapses and sinks to the ground. Of course, prior preparation and remembering to bring along the poles can prevent…

The truth is, there are only a few trampolines that have really earned their title of safest or best. If you are a parent who is considering a trampoline for your child, regardless of their age, you will want to make sure that you are purchasing a trampoline that…

Core 1 Quantitative Assignment 1 Background: When wanting to find the mass of a massive object, the following is needed, Newton’s gravitational law (F = ma = mv2/r). Newton’s gravitational law can be used to calculate the mass which is represented by (M). This can be calculated if the velocity represented by (v), at orbital radius represented by (r), is known for the equation. When these two laws are put together they create the formula M = v2 r / G what G represents is the…

Fig. 11: Residuals in the osculating orbital elements of Nereid for long time interval. The semi-major axis is given in km, eccentricity in radians and the rest of elements are in degree (Saad & Kinoshita 2001). Vashkov’yak and Teslenko (2010) in addition to the effects of the mother planet Neptune, they considered the influence of the attraction of the internal satellite Triton on the evolution of the orbit of the external satellite Nereid. The disturbing function of Triton is…

This paper will discuss the life of the German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer Johannes Kepler. Who had a great impact in the 17th century scientific revolution, because of his development of the three laws of planetary motion. He is also remembered for the legacy he left that later provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation. “Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571 poor and sickly in what is now Germany. His father left home when Johannes…

The Truth About Santa Currently, the Postal Office has a program called “Letters from Santa”. This program allows parents send their children’s letters addressed to Santa Claus, North Pole. They also send the response from Santa in the same envelope, and the Post Office return the response to the kids. In addition, the Postal Service has a program named “Operation Santa”, in which, many postal employees respond to the letters by providing a written response signed by Santa, while other Post…

The Haida people are an aboriginal tribe that inhabit the northwest coast of British Columbia and Has of Alaska. They are an isolated people that rarely come in contact with civilization. They also live throughout the islands of Haida Gwaii, which means “islands of the people”. The geography of the Haida’s mainland affects their culture because, it affects the animals that can be hunted for food, it makes them need to be able to travel over water, and the climate affects the shelter they need.…

Totem poles Totem poles are important carvings, a type of Northwest Coastal art, consisting of poles, or posts, carved with symbols or figures. I am being required to make a fake totem pole. It will be made of a can wrapped with paper that has animals drawn on it. Totem poles serve many purposes, mine will be telling a story. This is my research on what four spirit animals, I think fit me best. Turtles take things slowly. They are very calm. They have emotional strength and…
