The independent variable is the rise of the ramp‚the dependent variable whether or not the marble will loop the loop. The underlying principle of all roller coasters is the law of conservation of energy. When a roller coaster crests the first big hill‚gravity takes over. Potential energy is sometimes known as positional energy. As the roller coaster falls is has enough kinetic energy to make it through the remainder of the ride. Inertia keeps the object in motion. The other forces bring the roller

The Importance of Physics to Society Physics - the study of matter‚ energy and their interactions - is an international enterprise‚ which plays a key role in the future progress of humankind. The support of physics education and research in all countries is important because: 1. Physics is an exciting intellectual adventure that inspires young people and expands the frontiers of our knowledge about Nature. 2. Physics generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances

Within a matter of weeks it will be Easter time. Eggs will not only be hidden for little children to find but an egg is a symbol of life. Eggs are often the prime example used in a Christian Sunday school to visually explain the Resurrection of Jesus. The eggs shell represents the stone that separated his tomb from the outdoors. When the hard shell barrier cracks‚ or in this case when the stone is rolled away‚ life comes into the world. In the Etruscan tomb of the Lioness lays a Banquet scene fresco

I absolutely love jumping on the trampoline but I never really thought there was any physics involved. I knew you had to use a force to jump up and gravity pulls you back down obviously. An American inventor named George Nissen first invented the trampoline in 1935. (Silvia) A trampoline is defined as an elastic disc of hard canvas held up by metal springs attached to a metal skeletal frame. Kinetic and Potential energy allow you to be able to jump on a trampoline. PE=mgh this equation helps you

Applications of Physics in Everyday Life By Steve Johnson‚ eHow Contributor Even walking manipulates physics‚ allowing people to proceed in a state of "constant falling." Physics extends well into people’s everyday lives -- imprisoning people within its forces. From each step a person takes to the evolution of the body‚ physics has several long-term as well as short-term effects and uses. For everyday living‚ many technologies have even exploited the rules of physics. 1. Simple Mechanical

The Human Egg Cell. The human egg cell is also known as the ovum. With a spherical structure it is the largest cell in the human body measuring about 0.2mm in diameter. The function of the ovum is to reproduce‚ when fertilized by the sperm cell the ovum is capable of creating a new living organism. The size and shape of the ovum gives it space to store and create nutrients (see fig 3) (Boyle and Senior 2008) The ovum is bounded by the egg follicles of the ovaries and is produced by primitive germ

Are naked eggs with no shell? What? You may think I am speaking about a hard boiled egg‚ but‚ no. Boiled eggs have their centers heated making the shell easily come off. Naked eggs have their shells taken off with one simple ingredient everyone has. Vinegar. The vinegar acid inside the vinegar strips the shell away from the egg. The vinegar solutions dissolves the shell from the egg. Once the egg has been separated form it’s shell the only thing keeping the liquid goo inside is the thin‚ flexible

Title: Osmosis in quails’ egg Aim: To observe the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride on a de-shelled quail’s egg To explain the effects in terms of osmosis Research Questions: Does the different concentrations of sodium chloride on a de-shelled quail’s egg effect the final mass of quail’s eggs that is measured by using electronic weighing balance? Introduction: “If a cell is to perform its functions‚ it must maintain a steady state in the midst of an ever-changing

Egg Osmosis Lab Introduction What is osmosis? Osmosis is a very important part of biology. It is the spontaneous passage of water or other solvents through a semipermeable membrane. A semipermeable membrane is one that blocks the passage of dissolved substances. Osmosis occurs when there is an imbalance of solutes outside of a cell versus inside the cell. A solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than another solution is said to be hypertonic‚ and water molecules tend to diffuse into
