elements that contribute to rising gasoline prices. The major cause for increasing gasoline prices has to do with refining capacity. Even if oil were inexpensive‚ we would still have a problem converting it into the gas that fuels our economy. That is what keeps the gas prices high. When gas supplies are short‚ due to an “inability to refine crude oil into gas efficiently‚” prices increase. This is a component of supply and demand economics. In a positive aspect‚ rising gasoline prices do

Did the Conservation Movement of the Early Twentieth Century Successfully Preserve the American Environment? T.H.

Abstract: In this experiment‚ two object collided both elastically and in inelastically‚ the purpose of this experiment is to study the principle of conservation of momentum in collisions using two bodies. We also calculated the amount of kinetic energy in elastic and inelastic collisions before and after the collision. Introduction: When bodies collide with each other‚ the total momentum p = mv‚ is always conserved regardless of the type of collision provided no external forces are present. There
