Problem: How much does an object accelerate when the height of the drop is increased or decreased? Preliminary Research: When going into this experiment I already knew that air resistance is the force of the air repelling against the object and slowing it down slightly. Gravity is the force that holds something down to the ground. I know without gravity everything and everyone would be floating around everywhere‚ like astronauts on the moon. Air resistance and gravity work together in a lot of

For the Giant drop ride if you wanted to find the final velocity you would multiply the acceleration of gravity‚ which is 9.81m/s/s‚ times the amount of time it took for you to fall. This equation is Vf(velocity final)=Vi(velocity initial)+a(acceleration)*t(time). Since the initial velocity of the drop is zero we don’t have to worry about adding that on. The final velocity comes out to be about 84 miles/hour. This equation says nothing about mass or weight meaning that the weight of the passengers

Should students be required to wear a dress code if the school enforces one? Many schools around the country enforce strict dress code policies to decrease distraction from the learning environment and prepare students for the reality of having a dress code in a job. Most states have set up laws to allow the school board to set the dress code and its limitations‚ as long as it does not invade the student’s constitutional rights. People who agree with the dress code policies think that today’s students

Should Assisted Suicide be allowed in the U.S? Assisted suicide is when a terminally ill patient decides that he/she doesn’t want to live life anymore (they are ready to die). They will die quicker and less painfully‚ rather than slow and torturously (Messerli). A person with those conditions should have the right to choose when‚ where‚ how‚ and who’s going to be there whenever they want to die. Assisted suicide should be legalized in the U.S because every human-being should the have “the right

citizens find it very difficult to reach their goals and settling down with comfort. The concept of having non citizens voting in municipal elections isn’t a foreign idea. However there is a lot of opposition which is very reasonable. Non citizens should not be granted the right to vote in municipal elections because it could decrease the number of non citizens seeking citizenship‚ makes the election more expensive than it already is and increases the administrative process to identify a way to select

teens could be arrested simply for driving their mother to the hospital when she unexpectedly goes into labor three days early. When a child is born unto a family it’s parents are to take responsibility for it and it’s actions until they turn 18 years of age.

Should Cell Phones Be Allowed in School?

Or would you rather play around on some Smartphone app about the same thing and get the same amount of education? If I were you‚ I would pick option two. First of all‚ it’s more fun. Many schools all around the world are starting to allow students to bring their cellphones or smartphones

Cell Phones should not be Allowed in School – No When I first read the question‚ should cell phones be allowed in school?‚ my gut reaction is NO. If students are allowed to have cell phones in class then there is going to be a lot more cheating‚ more distractions‚ and less classroom focus. In order to keep students from cheating there would have to be more than just a few different tests made up. The distraction of students texting‚ reading texts‚ and such would go through the roof‚ and with the
