Fishermen from villages all along the coast spoke of the declining clam harvest. Little clams seemed…

the sum and difference of gravitational forces within the Earth-Moon-Sun system, we figured out the changes of tidal force made by stars’ changing positions. On the other hand, we also discussed the formation of tidal flows. Our approach shows how vertical and horizontal tidal forces causing the sea level fluctuations. 1. Introduction The tides are a regular and predictable phenomenon caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun acting on the oceans of the rotating earth. Tidal…

The three careers that I am choosing to investigate from my major, aerospace engineering, are: propulsion development engineer, spacecraft structures engineer, and spacecraft materials engineer. Of these three, my first pick would be propulsion development engineer, followed by spacecraft structures engineer. Propulsion development is a branch of aerospace engineering that focuses on spacecraft and aircraft propulsion systems. I chose to investigate these three careers as I feel that I would…

said this as he took the first steps on the moon. This moment was an immense one for humans. We had finally reached the moon, something scientists had always dreamed of. Although, what if it was fake? What if everything we learned about this great moment was not the truth? The moon landing conspiracy theory is one that is greatly followed and believed by many. It states that the moon landing was, in fact, fake. This conspiracy theory claims the moon landing was filmed on a space-like movie set…
