deployment even though their rocket had a mass of only 206.1 grams. After doing some research and launching the rockets, I learned that the following are factors which contributed to a successful parachute deployment: air resistance (drag) and how loose the nose cone sat on top of the parachute. Air resistance can cause the heaviest rockets to slow down if a parachute has a successful deployment. With the heaviest rocket (470.9 grams), Group #4 (Jayden B. and Erika L.) had a successful parachute…
puberty and how “a classmate said: / You have a great big nose and fat legs” (Piercy 5-6). The focus is placed on the girl’s appearance, which will be referred to throughout the remainder of the poem, especially the mention of her big nose and fat legs, which is mentioned again in lines 11, 17 and…
or upper respiratory tract is the parts of the respiratory system lying above the glottis (Vocal cords) • Nose – External breathing organ. • Nasal passages, Inside the nose, the sticky mucous membrane lining the nasal cavity traps dust particles, and tiny hairs called cilia help move them to the nose to be sneezed or blown out • Paranasal Sinuses, - These air-filled spaces alongside the nose help make the skull lighter. • Pharynx, - Both food and air pass through the pharynx before reaching…
Nasal congestion is caused by cold, flue or allergy or even due to dry air and air pollution. Suffering will be due to swelling of nasal membrane and too much mucus production inside the nose creating obstacles for draining mucus produced in sinus cavities. Difficulties in breathing easily with a feeling of hitch to draw in air into lungs make one bound to inhale air through mouth. This congestion also causes tremendous headache that increases the suffering. Staying in an air conditioned room…
eyebrow slightly, curious as to what he was going to do next, as he continued, "and I feel sorry for you, you sadistic f---." Then, Iridian punched me square in the face, hitting my nose. It would be an understatement to say I was merely shocked by his sudden action, I was bewildered. I doubled over, cupping my nose with one of my hands. It didn't help much, if at all, as blood seeped through my hand, and dripped out onto the table and floor. I shut…
Influenza, Adult Influenza, more commonly known as “the flu,” is a viral infection that primarily affects the respiratory tract. The respiratory tract includes organs that help you breathe, such as the lungs, nose, and throat. The flu causes many common cold symptoms, as well as a high fever and body aches. The flu easily spreads from person to person (it is contagious). Getting a yearly (annual) influenza vaccination, more commonly known as a flu shot, is the best way to prevent the flu.…
Pet owners know that the dog has a strong sense of smell. But, cat owners know that their pet feline has a distinct ability to distinguish odors. The cat’s nose has “45 to 80 million microscopic olfactory receptors,” Sidney Stevens wrote in her article for the Mother Nature Network. Though dogs have around 149 million and 300 million receptors, your feline has more than 5 million smell receptors compared to you. Also, your feline can smell through its mouth. The vomeronasal organ, also known as…
Skunks usually spray predators with their gross smell for them to go away. Some people wonder if the skunks can actually smell their own smell. The answer is yes. From some resources, some skunks are nose blind and others are not. The skunks who are not nose blind tend to either sneeze or dig their noses in the ground to not smell their spray. Yes, the smell gets into their fur so they usually groom themselves or find a place like a puddle to clear it away. When you are out on a drive or on a…
Popping An Ollie Physics Around Campus Ryan Meehan Physics 102 Spring 2017 This is a picture of me popping an ollie in the basement of Dooley Hall. An ollie is the first trick that many skaters learn, as it is the foundation for almost every other trick and can help skaters avoid obstacles such as small cracks and rocks that could ruin your day, and knees. The physics behind popping an ollie is very interesting, and after teaching my friends, and kids that I babysit how to skate…
they are holding me down I start yelling, trying to push my way out of everything. They manage to calm me down. The doctors are explaining why this occurred and what they did to stop it. I have had a minor procedure, clustering the blood vessel in my nose, this was done by them using silver nitrate. I have Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia. Paralysed with terror, I have to undergo chemotherapy. In addition to all of this, I may loose my hair. Since my beautiful shiny, silky and sleek hair will be…
