How many people die on a roller coaster each year? 50? 100? 200? Shockingly, only fifty-two deaths occurred between 1990 and 2004 (Inquisitr). Amusement parks are actually safer than we think. The chance of an injury or death at an amusement park is extremely low. In fact, according to the International Association of Amusement Park Attractions, only one in every 250 million riders experience a death caused by a ride at an amusement park. The International Association of Amusement Park…

The fundamental belief in freedom and democracy has guided American foreign policy and intervention since 1918. Universal application by Wilson…

dealing with the boiling point of water,” says Jacob Young, a mechanical designer at Blauch Brothers, Inc (Young, J.C. 2017). The pressure on Earth at sea level is 14.696 PSIA (Pounds per Square Inch Absolute). This pressure is caused by the weight of the Earth’s atmosphere being pulled towards Earth’s surface by gravitational forces. At this pressure, water’s boiling point is 212˚ Fahrenheit. Pressure decreases with increasing altitude, and as a result, the boiling point of water deceases as…

Chemistry Internal Assessment Introduction: The experiment is to conclude which aqueous solution of the chlorides has the highest boiling point out of the five that has been tested.there will be five different chloride compounds mixed into water and be heated till it is boiling. The interest for this topic comes from how intermolecular forces affect the molecules by either repulsing and attracting molecules due to polarity. This idea interests me because when cooking and boiling salt water,…

whether to stay quiet or speak up. Most of the times I decide to stay quiet and turn the other cheek, but during the summer I decided to step out of my comfort zone. In April my boyfriend bought us tickets to go to the Ohana Music Festival in Dana Point California. This was the present he gave me for our three year anniversary and it was the best thing that anyone has ever given me. I was extremely excited because my all-time favorite singer, Lana Del Rey was going to perform. I absolutely adore…

(O’Brien 149)” This struck me as a very important point in bringing all these stories together. He wants to remember them all as happy and in a way that brings less pain. He goes on to talk about ‘aliveness’ in building this world in the story where we see these men. He ties the story together by explaining…
