investigate the relationship of drop height of the ball and the amount of water splashed out. Research question: How does the volume of water splashed out depend on drop height of the ball? Explanation for controlled variable: The change in mass in ball will affect the kinetic energy as KE = mv2/2‚ so will use the same ball for all experiments. Initial volume of the water will be also controlled using

ALBERT EINSTEIN and the ATOMIC BOMB The physicist Albert Einstein did not directly participate in the invention of the atomic bomb. But as we shall see‚ he was instrumental in facilitating its development. In 1905‚ as part of his Special Theory of Relativity‚ he made the intriguing point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by the equation E=mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of light squared). The atomic bomb would clearly illustrate this

had to make a very tough decision‚ whether or not to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. This act would essentially be trading Japanese lives for American lives.
