Flying disc

rest or decrease the egg's velocity at the time of the crash. In order to decrease the egg's velocity upon impact, students must design their egg carriers to have increased air resistance. An increased surface area on the carrier, such as a flying disc shape or a parachute, will cause the egg to hit the ground at a lower speed. To increase the time over which the egg comes to rest, students must provide their egg with something to absorb some of the force of impact. A sponge or other cushion…

to feel an odd obligation to represent my gender as I learned that at least some of my teammates assumed that I am less because I am female. Though I could throw a frisbee, I semi-jokingly explained to my teammates that I do not mix well with flying discs, especially…

“gravity” is actually Earth going up so fast that is catches up with us when we jump. Flat-earthers believe photos of the globe are photoshopped; GPS devices are rigged to make airplane pilots think they are flying in straight lines around a sphere when they are actually flying in circles above a disc. The motive for world governments' concealment of the true shape of the Earth has not been ascertained, but flat-earthers believe it is probably financial. "In a nutshell, it would logically cost…

Name: Ahmed El-Sharkawy Title: Mysterious Forces Due Date: 1st of April 2015 Teacher: Mr.chimbizi Topic: how does gravity and weightlessness affect humans? Thesis: Is the gravitational force on earth that pulls us down towards the center of the earth harmful to human beings or beneficial? And the no force effect in space, which causes weightlessness beneficial or harmful? Outline I. I) Discovery of gravity II) Sir Isaac Newton III) Gravity and weightlessness II. I) Define…

on the back with have more lift but will land sooner than having more weight in the front. Balance force has been talked about in one of our lab experiments where you attach four strings to four different weights and laying them on a flat circular disc to balance the center of the ring that holds the strings. The reason why I wanted to know more about paper airplanes is because their simple designs can have great effects on their performance. I find that their models could be deceiving but…

Examining the effects of DLC on the video-game industry from the approach of Kant’s Categorical Imperative yields a slightly different conclusion. Kant’s Categorical Imperative states that one should act only on rules that they would be willing to see everyone follow, treat every human as an end and not a means to the end, and consider every rational being as a maker of universal law. Based on this approach, the effects of DLC are mixed. The more traditional approach to DLC, where it is…

there is no atmosphere to disturb the light rays. Thus, it will not only help to uncover other celestial bodies but also help to detect solar flares and space debris collisions. • Space tourism will enable the people to enjoy weightlessness, rocket flying and also visit the moon. Also it will serve as a source of income. • Launching rockets and space probes is easier in 0g. • It will help to conduct microgravity experiments such as growth of perfect crystals that usually have crystallographic…

The purpose of this experiment was to find out why Drosophila melanogaster is an important organism to understand eukaryotic genetics which was accomplished by first observing the sex of the flies and distinguishing between wild type and vestigial wing phenotypes. We also determined whether the allele that caused the vestigial wing phenotype is sex- linked or autosomal and either dominant or recessive from flies that were in the F1 generation. Our data collected by observing the sex of the F1…

Him and his sister in California which are both getting later in years and me here in Washington. I do have a few cousins in New York but do not have much information. One cousin is in construction any other is a radio disc jockey and I have a third cousin which I do not know what he does for a living. What I have learned As I’ve done research on my family I have learned that my grandfather was a milkman. Did whatever he could take care of his family. When my father…

TV Programming Over Time “I thought they were pulling my leg when they said that one of these days, pictures are going to be flying through the air - you’ll be able to see radio!” (“TV History”). Hal Kanter was not the only American thinking the same thing. Today, television eats away at the average person’s life. For example, the average person working a full time job works around forty hours a week, which is the same amount of hours the average person spends watching television a week…
