Cosmetic Surgery Should Be Restricted For Teens A young and healthy teenager is sitting on a chair waiting for the anaesthetic to seep through her skin, as the surgeon slowly cuts open her nose. While she thinks about how perfect her nose will look, she has not realized the real risk of undergoing cosmetic surgery. From 1996 to 2011, two hundred and thirty thousand teens have undergone cosmetic surgery. Many teens do not understand the later effects that will impact their life forever. Although…

market. Audi, Volkswagen, and Mercedes already had diesels in the car market, but now other manufacturers are beginning to unveil their own new diesel options. Chrysler has begun to put diesels in the light duty Ram 1500s and Jeep Grand Cherokees. General Motors has placed a diesel motor in their compact Chevy Cruze sedan. BMW is also joining in by making more diesels available in the lineup of their vehicles (DeMuro). The demand for diesel vehicles is expected to grow over the next few years,…

Energy is a mysterious and everlasting component which exists within the universe; it is the existential source of power which human beings have harnessed through technology in order to progress and evolve. It is fair to note that energy is quintessential to every action and reaction occurring in the universe at all times. Furthermore, the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be transferred between different forms and states and even between…

The History of the Development of the Four Fundamental Forces Nature has a total of four fundamental forces. The forces include gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between all masses. Every object in this universe is pulling upon other objects. Many scientists came up with logics to explain the science behind gravitational forces. The first one to try was Aristotle in around 330 BC. Aristotle believed Earth and…

Introduction Gravity is a natural force that is the result of various distributions of matter and energy throughout the universe. All objects have gravitational pulls but as an object becomes more massive, its gravitational pull increases and takes precedence over the gravitational pulls of other smaller objects as demonstrated by the solar system in which Earth resides. Earth’s moon rotates around Earth due to Earth’s gravitational pull while Earth rotates around the sun due to the sun’s…

the Higgs filed. The reason he proposed this field was that nobody understood why some subatomic particles had a great deal of mass, while others had little and some had none at all. The energy filed that Higgs proposed would interact with the sub-atomic particles and give them their mass. Very massive particles would interact a lot of the field while massless particles wouldn’t interact at all. To better understand the idea, we can use the analogy of water and swimmers. In our analogy the…

Three tests are done through a Gizmo to determine how radius, mass, and velocity affects centripetal acceleration of an object undergoing uniform motion. The results show centripetal acceleration is affected by radius and velocity but not mass. It gives a better understanding to why objects in uniform motion accelerate towards the centre of a circle. Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine how the radius, mass and speed of an object can affect the centripetal acceleration of the…

A world leading physicist, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, theologian and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton is known globally for being one of the most influential men to ever live. Newton was born on Christmas day, 1642 in Woolsthrope-by-Colsterworth, United Kingdom where his grandparents raised him. In the beginning Isaac was heavily pressured into being a farmer, however he was so terrible at farming they decided to send him to university. At 19 Isaac attended his first classes at…

General Motors (GM) operates in a customer-centric atmosphere. Since GM’s bankruptcy and recall efforts, the company has been very sensitive about their customer base. GM indicates that they “are passionate about earning customers for life” (GM, 2015). In addition, GM suggests there team shares the same enthusiasm for “customers and a competitive spirit that drives us to excellence” (GM, 2015). According to GM (2015), this means that we are committed to delivering vehicles with compelling…

Once a year Hot Rod magazine hosts a Top Speed Challenge in Ohio in which they have loads of street legal cars competing to go the fastest in the standing mile. The Death Proof Camaro, Geezer II Firebird, and the DIYAutoTune 240sx are Three of the most dangerous cars competing in the Top Speed Challenge. Each one of these cars are capable of going over 200 miles an hour during a pass. At the event there is 20 different classes based on engine size, brand, and configuration. The Death proof…
