Gravitation

Headed back down from London Town Currently, out of the 10,000 people living in Boscombe, UK, about 35 percent are under the poverty line. The community-wide LOVE: Boscombe Hunger Project had neighbors assembling meals for neighbors in need. The Hunger Heroes even took a break to sip some afternoon tea, the most quintessential of English customs. This crazy LENTIL thing called love Over 40,000 meals were assembled and sealed with a kiss at Will You Be My Hunger Hero on Feb. 13.…

To this day, Sir Isaac Newton is remembered as one of the greatest minds of, not only the 17th century, but to ever walk this Earth. His intuition ranged from the subjects of physics and mathematics. From his laws of motion to his law of conservation of momentum, he truly revolutionized the science of his day. He is responsible for publishing one of the most acclaimed works known to science. He was remembered for all the amazing things that he was able to accomplish, but there were some cowardly…

Change is a constant in the universe and in the innumerable worlds of science fiction. In these worlds, Science Fiction is used to predict the outcome of the most unimaginable changes in ourselves and our worlds. Isaac Asimov’s Nightfall, for example, predicts what would happen if night only came once every several thousand years. Octavia Butler’s Bloodchild speaks of a future where descendants of human colonists become the hosts of a parasitic race, and are cared for in return. The Witches of…

As many people tune in annually to a very anticipated football game, advertisers look for various ways to promote their businesses to the massive amount of viewers. Some commercials are humorous, heartfelt, explicit, or cute. Many are shared with friends or posted on social media websites. What the commercials advertise often give more than just product details, they give watchers insight into what Americans value or place interest in. They can tell us what is subconsciously a priority in their…

manner in which the individual behaves in common social situations. Through the juxtaposition of figure 2 and 4 one can observe the varying social factors that dictate an individual’s behavior in a public setting. Figure 2 depicts the, more common, gravitation towards introversion on the subway. The image appears cold, and although the people are situated close together compositionally they appear isolated, lost within their subconscious. In contrast to figure 2, figure 4 shows a more sociable…

organized society. Although prior to his death, Piggy makes multiple attempts to decrease the savagery, but fail as the children rather listen Jack. The children avoid authority as they feel limited by the rules and consequences, which increases their gravitation towards Jack. They view joining Jack’s tribe as an escape from authority and an opportunity to…

contradicting the basic tenet of thermodynamics of energy conservation. The solution is found in negative energy, as it flows inward to balance out the energy within the black hole. The black hole’s gravitation itself produces a certain amount of negative energy by dragging the particles towards the center. Most gravitation is described as negative energy. Understandingly negative energy is a “concept used in physics to explain the nature of certain fields, including the gravitational field and…

motion. This larger amount of inertia offsets the larger amount of weight, so the two objects, although having different weights, would have the same rate of acceleration. In addition, Newton’s second law of motion—also known as the universal law gravitation—states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Greater force on more massive objects is canceled out by the…

When the mound of water has reached the highest point is called high tide. On the side of the earth opposite the moon, the centrifugal force caused by the earth's rotation produces another mound of water and high tide on the opposite side of the earth. Somewhere in between these two high tides are two flat areas on the surface of the ocean, these are called low tides. The earth's nearby moon is about 2.17 tines as effective as the m ore massive sun in raising tides on the earth, even though…

“Houston, we have a problem.” said Jim Lovell, an astronaut of Apollo 13, when the oxygen tank explored in the Space in 1970. After the talk, this lunar exploration gained a worldwide concern. Three astronauts in the craft fought with numerous disastrous faults and eventually back to the earth. In 1995, this regrettable story was even recorded as a historical docudrama named Apollo 13. Such social repercussion brought up a perspective that Apollo 13, one of the most well-known explorations of…
