    A ball, and a feather dropped at the same height will hit the ground at the same time when placed in a vacuum space. This is because acceleration of motion is the same for both object, and in this experiment, we are going to calculate accelerated motion using inclined planes. In this experiment, we will see whether “distance traveled is directly proportional to the square of the time”, and “if speed of a falling object depend only on the height from which it falls”. This experiment will give us…

    Governor Hogan, I heard about the Purple Line proposal that has been circulating for awhile now. After doing more research, I have concluded that I do not believe that we should build the new light rail because of the impact that it will have on the environment, the businesses in the new area, and the expenses.

This can coincide with the Ashtabula train disaster even though the Ashtabula disaster was 100 times more deadly than the Tacoma narrows bridge collapse.
