This time it killed approximately 20‚000 people. In this report I will be comparing the two earthquakes‚ giving reasons why the Gujarat earthquake was so much more destructive than the one in San Francisco. An earthquake is a movement or tremor in the earth’s crust. Earthquakes happen all the time‚ but some are so weak that they

Pitch Constant Rotational Speed Wind Turbine Project Aims This project can be divided into 3 three parts. The first part is to develop a variable pitch propeller. Then second and the main aim of this project is to design a control mechanism by which the propellers would rotate at a constant speed‚ at varying wind speeds by adjusting their pitch. This would be achieved by using wind sensors (anemometer) and a microcontroller. The sensors would measure the wind speed and feed that to microcontroller

Speed limits are placed everywhere amongst roads to secure each drivers safety. Near schools‚ school zones speed limits are placed‚ and active during the times that the school is open. These school zone speed limits are extended within a mile away from the school. Speed limits are much lower than average speed limits‚ so the children going and coming from school are safe. Once you go over the speed limit provided in a school zone‚ you put a child’s life in danger. During school hours many children

The speed of light is a well-established premise in physics. Centuries before‚ it was often heard by scientists like Johannes Kepler and Rene Descartes that the speed of light was infinite‚ having the ability to travel at any distance immediately. A notable physicist named Galileo Galilei was one of the first scientists to ponder this phenomenon of light‚ and how to determine the speed of this unknown. In order to do so‚ Galilei formulates an experiment with an assistant. While standing on one hilltop
