    The following paper is on each of four subjects: black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and the multiverse theory. The first subject is black holes, which are regions of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape. Their existence is greatly debated over, and it still has not been determined whether they exist. The second subject is dark matter. Dark matter is a placeholder that cannot be seen. It accounts for 27% of the matter in the universe, but like…

    The Law of Conservation of Mass is a system where an isolated system cannot be created or destroyed by a chemical reaction or physical transforms. (from the website: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/introchem/chapter/the-law-of-conservation-of-mass/).The Law states that mass of products in the reaction must be equal to the reactans or the things that causes the reactants.Again from the same website.The History behind it is that the Greeks were the first to come up with the idea,but it wasn’t…

    How would the weight of an astronaut on the Moon compare to her weight on Earth? Explain. The weight of an astronaut on the moon compared to her weight on earth would differ because on the moon it is gravity and gravitational pull. When she is on the moon to have a somewhat equal footing having heavy objects around on her and with heavy equipment would weigh her down making it able to walk where gravity reigns. On earth gravity is different because it is cause and reaction…

    spring increases, the extension of the spring will increase. The relationship between them will be directly proportional. The formula of these two variables might be F=kx. F stands for the load added to spring, k is spring constant and x stands for extension of spring. Spring constant may be always the same in the same spring. Hypothesis graph: Load added to spring-Extension of spring Extension of spring (cm) Load added to spring (N) VARIABLES: Independent…

    Our solar system revolves around the sun, nine planets kept in orbit by this bright star’s gravitational pull. The sun is not only an essential part of our solar system, but also an essential part to life on earth. This star does everything from allowing life to exist on our planet by providing the nutrients necessary for living things to grow to determining the length of our days and the brightness of the moon. Without the sun, the solar system might not even exist, or at least not the way it…

    and can two objects that have the same mass be different weights? Hypothesis The difference between weight and mass is that mass is the measurement of how much matter is in an object and it will remain constant regardless of gravity. Weight is how heavy an object is depending on the gravitational pull on the object. Step 1: Zero out the scale. Step 2: Weight the eggs to see that they have roughly the same weight. Step 3: Take one of the eggs and poke a hole in each end with a needle. Step 4:…

    How old is our universe really? For years there has been a race to discover the Solar System’s true age. For thousands of years, people have thought the Solar System and everything inside it to be created only several thousand years ago. Whereas many people now days have discovered that there is a considerable amount of evidence to suspect the Solar System is actually billions of years old. Fairly recent discovers have brought to light that there is also counter evidence to disprove the billion…

    The Rise Of Sea Level

    • 1739 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Sea level continues to rise in recent years, but also that the rate gradually accelerated, according to some data of observations. Sea level is rising primarily because as global temperatures increase, oceans are warming, which causes sea water to expand; and land ice is melting, which transfers water to the ocean. The rise of sea level will increase the risk of the coastal inundation. “Climate change will not introduce any new types of coastal hazard” (Manatu Mo Te Taiao, 2004), but the climate…

    exactly, it means changing a comparable sign (α) with a = sign, then a constant is required, say k where: F = k QA QB / r AB (1) The value of k is known as the Coulomb constant. But what is the magnitude of this constant? Before Coulomb, Cavendish had actually used the same principle when he calculated the constant G on the universal gravitational force. But he did not publish it and was too late to recognize…

    riders go up and drops them at 4,480 feet of track at speeds up to 70 MPH. Roller coasters exhibit many different types of potential and kinetic energy. The law of Conservation of Energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant — it is said to be conserved over time. This means that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can be transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of energy never changes. Mechanical energy is the energy due to the position…
