    objection I can pose is on his explanation of taste and smell. He states that tastes and smells depend on having particles with “this or that shape, high or low velocity, and whether they are many or few” (23). From this statement, one can infer that an apple, for example, will have a specific combination or recipe due to its specific shape, velocity, and number of particles which makes it identifiable as an apple. Under this assumption, eating a small slice of an apple should taste different…

    A black hole is defined by the force it would take to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.gravitational pull exerted upon an object. Anything that wants to escape earth's gravitational pull must go at least 11 km/s, no matter what it is. The escape velocity of an object depends on how compact it is. A black hole is an area of extremely high gravity where it is impossible for even light to escape. Black holes are formed when huge amounts of matter are condensed into small…

    Once you are almost at the bottom of the mountain before friction slows you down, you have hit your terminal velocity and the highest speed of kinetic energy. You are moving faster in this place than you are anywhere else during the ride. When you’re on your way to speed up the loop, you have a very fast velocity. In this place, you also have a large amount of air resistance acting on you due to friction and your direction. During this part, you experience high…

    Garret Griggs 11/20/14 ESS 102 Section AB Sci-Fi Paper The Long Nap The last thing I remembered was the sight of the needle entering my skin. It was hardly an irregular sight—I’d witnessed the process performed on my colleagues during training many times before. The needle enters, the serum flows, their faces relax. The HIT, a serum containing the molecule necessary for induced human hibernation, slows their breathing, until finally, each muscle in their body settles like grains of sand…

    such that maximum attraction current should be generated. Adult fishes generally migrate against the stream current, the phenomenon known as positive rheotaxis. When the main current is blocked due to any hydraulic obstruction, then the fishes try to escape through the side of the obstruction. While trying to guide themselves towards the current i.e. reacting to the positive rheotaxis they are guided towards the entrance of the fish pass. The attraction current at the entrance of the fish pass…
