Solar energy

electromagnetic range. Electromagnetic waves go through space at the pace of light (299,792 km/sec). The energy of the radiation relies on upon its wavelength and recurrence. A wavelength is the separation between the highest points of the waves. The recurrence is the quantity of waves that go by every second. The more extended the wavelength of the light, the lower the recurrence, and the less energy it contains. Light from a light or the Sun may look white; however it is really a mix of many…

must understand a few simple but, vital mechanics. The vehicle will be propelled by the pulling force of a small mousetrap. The end goal of building this car is to have it go from one end of the room to the other on top of carpet. Leverage, kinetic energy, and friction; are things to take into consideration while testing and building the car. There are two types of levers to keep in mind. The first is the lever arm that is pulling the string wrapped around the axle and is attached to the…

The Fiery Journey Knowledge and fire are two distinct substances that share a similarity; they give people freedom. Fire is a boon to mankind.

I tossed a ragged slab of PVC off the roof into a pile of refuse lying on the ground. I could not bare the West Virginian heat any longer. Tiny black spots danced on the corners of my eyes as I held on to the ladder for dear life fearfully making my way to solid ground. I lugged my sweat-saturated body over to my jug of water and Canon camera recorder. Throughout the week, I compiled photographs and video clips from my third mission trip. After snapping a few final photos, my team and I packed…

The day is April 5th, 1892, for one day short of a fortnight I have remained ensnared within this dreary cabin, caring for my ailing son, Torsten. Much time has passed, devoid of signs of improvement. I have then come to the apprehensive conclusion that I must voyage to the towns to gather medicinal supplies. My only concern is whether Torsten can persist awaiting my arrival, only time will tell. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to venture out into the forest to embark on my thirty-mile trek…

of skeletal muscles resulting in in an increase of the use of energy.” (Kolen, 2015) While exercise is defined as “planned, structured and repetitive body movements to improve or maintain physical fitness.” (Donatelle & Kolen-Thompson, 2015) Physical activity aids in receiving the proper amount of muscle strengthening activities. This is due to the fact that it activates large skeletal muscle groups and requires them to use more energy then normally needed. This concept is known as overload,…

After analyzing my carbohydrate intake and comparing it to the recommendations by nutrition calculator I am just below the normal range recommended for my age.

My intake recommended by the nutrition calculator was 867-1252 calories, and I only consumed 803 calories, which was just below my goal for carbohydrates. DRI recommends 20-35% of my calorie intake should…

Physical labor is not my forté. I’m the embodiment of the stereotypical female - in no way am I even remotely strong or capable of manual labor. So you can imagine how useful I was going to be on a weeklong mission trip in Kentucky fixing a house. An actual, real-life house. There was no way I was going to be any help at all, but I wanted to try...sort of. Part of me wanted to go but another part of me really, really did not. I do not enjoy working, nor do I like traveling outside of…
