    In the “Pit in the Pendulum “ by Edgar Allan Poe the ere setting‚ vivid gripping imagery ‚ and vigurative language creates the mood of tension. Through the use of a bleak setting Poe stirs up the mood of suspense. When examining the cell for the first time the narrator describes it as "the entire surface of this metallic enclosure was rudely daubed in all the hideous and repulsive devices to which the ... superstitions of the monks have given rise"(Poe 567). Examining the area the narrator is trapped

    Is gravity always 9.8m/s2?? INTRODUCTION: A simple pendulum consists of a mass m swinging back and forth along a circular arc at the end of a string of negligible mass. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. Gravity is the pull that two bodies of mass exert on one another. There are several simple experiments that will allow you to calculate the acceleration due to gravity of a falling object. A simple pendulum can determine this acceleration. The only variables

    The point where the centripetal acceleration is provided completely by gravity is when the centripetal acceleration is equal to the gravity. This happens at the point where h=r/2. As the truck moves from point A to point B‚ it would have decreased in height by r. Applying this again to our equation‚ we get; Hence‚ Using this in our g-force equation‚ we get; And so the rider experiences an additional 2g of centripetal force from that experienced at the top. Later‚ as the tuck moves to point

    Experiment No. 3: Specific Gravity ABSTRACT : Determination of specific gravity is very essential in our study because it is commonly used in industry as a simple means of obtaining information about the concentration of solutions of various materials such as brines‚ sugar solutions and acids. There are many apparatuses that can be used to determine specific gravity depending on the material to be measured. The objectives of this experiment is to make acquainted the different instruments used

    Does “Defying Gravity” really defy gravity? Of course it doesn’t; rather‚ this song truly and most effectively defies musical theatre! Wicked‚ a musical that has swept nations off their feet‚ can easily be defined as a ground-breaking Broadway production to say the least. The musical tastefully explores Elphaba’s and Glinda’s rich friendship‚ but also reveals the origins behind ‘the Wicked Witch of the West’. Stephen Schwartz‚ an acclaimed composer and lyricist who has written renowned musicals such
