Afghanistan: There were many challenges in the military but I am choosing to write about one scenario that made me realize what type of person I am. Even though I had struggle all through school, I was surprisingly good at being a Marine. Once I finished my first year in the military my parents grew to be pretty comfortable with the idea of me being in the corps. I think it is because they saw that I was finally growing up. In the Marine Corps they do not care about excuses and they definitely…

Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy in 1564 during the Renaissance.This was a rebirthing period in Europe started off in Italy for art, philosophy, and sciences. The Renaissance brought back many ideas from Ancient Greece and Rome introducing many scientists like Galileo. Attending the University of Pisa originally going to study medicine, he was taught the Aristotelian view on the world, later questioning it making way for many of his greatest discoveries. He was an outstanding astronomer,…

Intent supports mission command and guides joint forces by an understanding of how their higher commander visualizes the operation and what the desired end state looks like. Subordinates are delegated the authority to make decisions “wherever possible”, which allows them to exercise initiative based on…

Have you ever thought about making a contraption that protects eggs when dropped from ten feet? This machine can consist of popsicles, a maximum of ten balloons, a raw and hard boiled egg, as well as dixie cups, a small plastic bag, and glue. As a machine can protect an egg breaking on the ground, so can machines protect rovers when landed on a planet. Through viewing this, you can find out what type of machine my partner and I will use for our very own egg drop, and where you would see it…

In Heart Of Darkness, Joseph Conrad discusses how the Europeans treat the native congo people. Throughout the novella imperialism is presented by the Europeans attempting to colonize the Congo region. Joseph Conrad explains the harsh exploitation of the Congo through the perspective of Marlow. Marlow sees how the natives are treated with disrespect as their rightful land is taken from them. By analyzing Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad through a new criticism lens, one can see that the…

very light, it is moving at an incredibly high speed relative to the duck. All moving massive objects possess this property of momentum, a quantity proportional to the mass of the object times its velocity. Momentum is what allows objects to exert forces; it is the mechanism whereby two objects in a collision can influence one another. When two objects collide, they both enter the collision with some momentum – both have some mass and some velocity – both leave with some momentum; however, the…

Do you want to know what makes super cars go fast? Tune in to this science project to find out. In this science project, you will see aerodynamics, drag, and wind speed do its process on cars. In my experiment,on each car, there are streamers on them.When my wind tunnel turns on, streamers that fly everywhere will represent drag, and streamers that stick to the car will represent aerodynamics. In real life, they use smoke to figure out where drag is.Sometimes, they will put streamers on the car…

thing good and finding a balance of good and evil. Master Yoda says this to Luke to help him understand the force. “You will know when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack,” (Yoda Quotes, 2017). He also said “Yes, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path,…

Using physics, we can calculate the mass of a bolt fired from a blaster used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. First of all, we know that these bolts are not lasers based on two facts: they can be seen from the side and they do not travel at the speed of light. Thus, from there, we have to find their velocity. Rhett Allain calculated that to be about 35 m/s. He did this by finding distance and time of various bolts fired throughout the series, dividing the two measurements, and averaging out all…

Angular Acceleration is described as the rate of change of angular velocity, it is also recognized as rotational acceleration. According to the author the magnitudes and lengths of angular acceleration vectors are proportional to the rate of change of angular velocity. Depending on the direction in which an object such a platter is rotation the angular acceleration could be pointing toward or away the observer, in this lab we are going to be investigating the rotational motion for which a dish…
