MANUEL FIGUEROA 2/14/13 WHY IS THE TOPIC IMPORTANT TO THE SOCIETY: Gravity and friction are two forces that work together to allow life as we know it on earth. They are balanced forces. There is no movement without first overcoming friction‚ which is why a heavier object falls faster due to gravity than a lighter object. A heavy object is not resisted by air friction‚ while a very light object is (which causes

would be expensive. NASA could no longer spend $4 billion a year on the shuttle program. President Barack Obama has since dropped the moon program. But he believes that NASA should build a giant rocket. This would be used to send astronauts to an asteroid. Later‚ it might be used for trips to Mars. Q: What exactly was the purpose of the space shuttle program? A: The shuttle program was imagined as an inexpensive‚ simple‚ and safe way to go to space. A trip to space was to take place every week

He wanted to run tests on Ellie‚ but Ellie didn’t want to help him. Ellie had to destroy lots of asteroids piece by piece just to get Puck fed. The theme of this story is hope which represents the video game Pod Fighter. Mika‚ (which is Ellie’s twin brother) hoped that he could find Ellie by playing Pod Fighter which he learned was made by Mal Gorman

Dragons are real. Dragons are known to be “mythical” flying beast but‚ there not mythical at all. Dragons “tales/stories” are found all over the world‚ all saying pretty much the same thing‚ fire breathing‚ giant‚ flying beast.

Science Study Notes An electrically uncharged object is neutral. Conduction is not a method of charging an object. If electric charged stay in one spot‚ they are said to be static. In charging by induction‚ when a negatively charged rod is brought near a metal leaf electroscope the electrons in the electroscope move away from the rod. A statement that is not part of the Law of Electric Charges is that neutral objects are attracted to uncharged objects. The purpose of a GFCI is to protect people from
