For most of my life I’ve been fat. It’s always been a burden. The realization of being fat hit me when I was 13. I was struggling to find clothes that fit me and the solution my Mother found was to take me to the adult section and try on XL clothing, I knew that I my weight was a problem. Knowing that I was overweight still wasn't enough to motivate myself to change. For four years I lacked energy and self motivation to do something about my weight but two big events in my life occurred and…

This experiment was done to see what variables (weight, wind, friction etc.) affected the apogee of the rocket. The class did this by recording everyone's rocket weight and compared them to the apogee's after they had been launched. Due to different variables, the apogee might be affected in a variety of ways, one being the weather. After the class found all of the data, it was compared and analyzed for any patterns. The rocket had different forces acting upon it during the flight stages. The…

The atmosphere presses down on the earth an average of about 14.7 pounds of weight on every square inch it touches. Most people’s shoulders have an area of 12 square inches. So overall, the weight pressing on your shoulders is equaled out to be 176 pounds! This is called atmosphere pressure. Now it certainly doesn’t feel like there is 176 pounds pressing on me all day long, but there is an equal pressure pushing on me from all sides, including from within. In this experiment, we will…

affected by size and proximity (gravity will have a stronger pull if the object are larger and close together). Gravity also differs from the mass of an object the more mass an object has the more gravity it will exert on the objects around it. When looking at really large masses, like the earth the gravitational pull becomes much greater because of its large mass. The earth's gravitational force pulls everything towards it with the same amount of force (9.807 m/s) which in theory means that…

The more mass an object has, the more force it will need to move. The lighter an object is, the less force you will need to move. The puck has very little inertia so that it could be easily moved, have less air resistance, and have less friction against the surface of the air hockey table. The more mass an object has, the more weight being pulled down by gravity resulting in more friction. Also, an object…

Pope Marcellus Mass: Kyrie, by Palestrina or Missa Papae Marcelli is believed to be written in 1562, this composition is a Renaissance Style Polyphonic mass. It is very much so a Renaissance piece, it was made in 1562 towards the latter end of the Renaissance period, but still very much before the end which around 1600, the piece had four or more melodic fragments performed simultaneously, which is known as Polyphony, a staple of the Renaissance period. Throughout the piece there are no…

Introduction: tittle: The bouncing ball efficiency when bouncing a ball at different heights Energy cannot be destroyed or created it can only be transferred in to different types of energy like kinetic, heat, light, electrical, chemical, elastic potential, gravitational potential, thermal, nuclear and sound energy. When calculating energy, you would work in measurement like joules, kilojoules and millijoules. There are many types of energy like kinetic energy which is when a object is moving…

Josquin des Drez(ca.1440-1521), a legendary fame, remains a historical figure for his unusual musical talent. The administrative records that depicts him as a legend of music are few or let’s say rare to found with certainty. But, some of the remains gives us the outline of his contributions in the field of music during renaissance. During his period, the quality of his music was hardly appreciated than the music of his contemporaries as a result of which we can now only find the works of…

Faith in Action Paper I spent my 15 faith service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children and I helped the maintenance crew around the school. While I did this I made new friends and grew as a person as well as in my faith. I probably spent about 8 or more of my service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children. Before when I was younger, I would go in because my older sister needed service hours and scoop some veggies and powder into a funnel for an hour and a half. Then…
