that USSR was no longer fully reliable. The 1971 Ping-Pong Diplomacy can be viewed as the demonstration of a friendly gesture to America Facing the deteriorating relationship with the Soviets, China set aside their ideological differences and other issues, such as the Taiwan problem, agreeing on the Sino-American Rapprochement. For the next part of the essay, I will focus on the how various historians’ viewed the significance of Nixon’s speech and his trip. The orthodox historical analyst of…

which is to be completed during the December-January vacation. The project requires students to design, build, calibrate and test a device that shoots a Ping-Pong ball. The Ping-Pong ball must land at any given distance within the range of 3 to 6 meters. The device designed is powered by the extension of two springs, and shoots a Ping-Pong ball through a PVC pipe, which acts as a barrel. Calibration was achieved by altering the extension of the springs. The method of testing involved selecting a…

Ping-Pong balls that look like pair of glasses. To make this model we used four rectangular prisms and a cube. We used two long and skinny rectangular prisms to make the two temples of the glasses, and we used two rectangular prisms to make the two lenses. Then, we made a cube to be the bridge of the pair of glasses. We selected these shapes because when put together they resemble a pair of glasses, and we were familiar with the shapes. We also made a cylinder shape model for the four Ping-Pong…

the test course would cancel it out so that both the component of the gravitational force pushing the ball down the slope and the frictional force opposing it would be balanced leading to constant motion. As per Newton’s first Law of Motion, the Ping-Pong ball should maintain a constant velocity under these conditions. The rough corrugated sheet would produce too much friction and slow the object down as the frictional force would overcome gravity. The smooth corrugated sheet would create very…

Great Grandma’s Basement Spending time with family is always important and meaningful, but lately I’ve realized these moments won’t last forever. Significant people pass away and we must move on. By significant people, I’m referring to my great grandma Viola. While I was serving at her funeral a year ago, tears flowing down my face, I reminisced about the glorious times I spent at her house, especially Christmas six years ago. Because my cousins and I live thirty minutes away from each other and…

fair is Dinh’s favorite part of Spring. There are many game stands with cool prizes and food vendors with banh bao and gui con. But, the best part of the fair is the giant dragon lantern, and that is what Dinh was determined to get. Throwing a ping-pong ball into the golden cup in the center of 50 cups was all you had to do, and every year, he has studied the game that you needed to play to earn the lantern. There were many ways to cheat at the game, like bringing your own ball that was…

Purpose: Measuring ‘g’ by dropping steel ball and Ping-Pong ball from the same height and record the time for each dropping. Then, using the equation “h=1/2g*t^2 to calculate ‘g’. For precise, we still need to find ∆g, therefore, the final data about g=gave+∆g. Method: Before we start to do the experiment, we need to find a position which can except the wind and flat ground. After that, two people as a group, one is a golfer, and another is a dropper. First, they measured use tape measure to…

which of the four balls; golf ball, ping-pong ball, tennis ball and rubber ball will bounce the highest after being dropped from either a 100 cm or 50 cm height. Hypothesis - what do you think will happen? A generalisation that links the independent and dependent variables (you may use and IF THEN statement. Compared to 50 cm, when any of the balls is dropped from 100 cm it will bounce higher because the ball will have more kinetic energy. The ping-pong ball will bounce the highest…

Forrest despite his disability, is able to achieve personal best and other achievements such as being in the “Ping-Pong” team, help him to make it to the White House, the highest honor to be awarded. In the movie, Forrest Gump met the President of USA twice, once for being a hero in the army, and once for being part of the “ping pong” team against China. This chance of meeting the President, symbolizes that even a mentally handicapped person can have a chance make it to the top and be recognized…

resembling a cool science fair project or a Rube Goldberg machine. We see a ping pong ball roll down a slope and pop a balloon, followed by women tinkering with hairdryers. Sexist statements such as “Only men wear lab coats” are spelled out in liquid but eradicated by the hairdryers. A hairdryer-powered projectile launcher shoots ping pong balls across the room. There is even a “wind clock,” in which hairdryers float more ping pong balls at various positions in the air in order to tell time.…
