In Flanders Fields

Using the data obtained through the Labquest2 computer system, my group and I calculated exactly the initial momentum and kinetic energy, final momentum and kinetic energy, and percent of momentum and kinetic energy that was lost through these collisions. To calculate momentum we used the equation p_i=p_f which expands to m_1 v_1i+m_2 v_2i=m_1 v_1f+m_2 v_2f. We can say that our first hypothesis was accepted since in collisions 1 and 2 the total initial and final momentum was similar values.…

There’s a field on my parent’s ranch that has two pairs of my sunglasses, a purple mitten lost on a sledding excursion, blood from scraped knuckles, a plethora of cuss words spat in utter frustration, and a few salty tears shed grudgingly. It’s hard to explain hating an inanimate object. I would sound crazy if I said “Dad, I hate that field below the shop,” even though I’m sure he’s read that exact statement written on my face a thousand times. Nature is unforgiving -- heartless even. It has the…

spin. This spin is then determined by its quantum number, which is represented by the symbol S. Each nuclear spin is associated with a magnetic moment. When this moment is placed in an external magnetic field, these spin states differ in magnetic potential energy. If placed in a static magnetic field with a small amount of spin polarisation however, certain radio frequency signals can allow a transition between spin states, with some of the spins being placed in a higher energy state. When the…

Unbroken is an inspiring story about a former Olympian, Louis Zamperini, who was enlisted in the United States Air Force during WWII. His plane crashed and he floated on the raft for 47 days until he was captured, along with his crew member Phil, and taken to a POW camp. By a miracle, the two lived to tell their inspiring story to the world. The novel Unbroken and the movie depict the same tragic story, however, scenes are portrayed in various ways. Although unquestionably similar, author…

Q. Why do wire and a compass work to detect electric currents? A. I’m going to start off with the basics here. A compass points north. Everyone knows that. Why does it point north? Well, all magnets have two “poles” or ends. One end of the magnet is called the north-seeking pole. The north-seeking pole is often abbreviated to north pole or the letter N. The north pole end of a magnet is usually colored red. The other end of a magnet is called the south-seeking pole. The south-seeking pole is…

The Physics Behind The Mousetrap Powered Car With the mousetrap auto there are a few physical science rule that are occurring as the mousetrap vehicle is in movement. These incorporate preservation of vitality, newton's laws,potential and dynamic vitality, dormancy, rubbing, and torque. The mousetrap auto has put away potential vitality and that vitality can be utilized to do work, for example, move an auto. In the mousetrap auto, the potential vitality is put away in the tensioned spring. A…

giant particle with a static electric charge. As our asteroid moves rapidly through the air, it now becomes a moving charge. Once it becomes a moving charge, it should be capable of producing a magnetic field, as it produces its own current by moving through the air. The exact magnitude of the field will depend on the speed and charge of the asteroid, which will likely vary at any moment. The fragment entering the earth’s atmosphere is heated to a high temperature. The ice contained within the…

Visual Neglect Patients: Methods in Exploring Perceptual Deficits This essay holds the purpose of critically analysing the methods used in regards to visceral inabilities in visual neglect patients. Visual neglect is a failure to attend or respond to a specific side of meaningful stimulus typically following a lesion on the brain. It goes by the names unilateral neglect, hemi-inattention (Robertson & Halligan, 2014), hemispatial neglect (Luukkainen-Markkula, Tarkka, Pitkanen, Sivenius, &…

I remember it was my previous winter break when I was back in hometown - Hong Kong. I was on my way home from the airport and this massive breathtaking advertisement was hanging right at the exit of the tunnel, which it magnetized my eyes till it gradually faded out from my sight. The white panther creature is very rare to see. And this is how I discovered this powerful, wild, precise Panther clip brooch. I can say with pleasure that it has become one of my favorite pieces. The Panther clip…

I am an identical twin. Whether I am in school or at the supermarket, I always notice the creepy stares as well as the following: “Who’s older? Which one are you? Do you like being a twin? Am I seeing double?” How does one go about answering questions such as these? I’ve always had an identical twin, an exact copy of my genetic make-up, and people have never ceased to be amazed by this. I have trained myself to answer these questions and yes, I love being a twin. I always have a friend by my…
