Hazards of Static Electricity; Lightning Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions within clouds or between a cloud and the surface of a planet. It is the sudden high-current discharge caused by the atmosphere’s electrical breakdown. Lightning is also one of the most deadly natural phenomena known to man. Lightning is an electric current; thus within a thundercloud up in the sky‚ many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) collide into each other as

Physics of Volleyball Physics is the study of energy and how it is transferred from one particle to another. There is certainly a lot of energy transferred between objects and players in the sport of volleyball. A few of the concepts of physics that take place during volleyball include gravity‚ displacement‚ velocity‚ acceleration‚ projectile motion‚ and force. These concepts are displayed throughout the different positions on the court. There are three main aspects of volleyball that include

April 29‚ 2014 Abstract The objective project was to use our knowledge of physic properties to create a working car that was powered by a mouse trap. I found that the lighter the car was and the more traction the car had‚ the further it travelled. Introduction The purpose of this project was to create a car that is powered by a mouse trap. We were to use our knowledge of physics laws to make the best car we can. I knew from Newton’s Law‚ F=ma‚ that if my car had a lower

Caliban is the most complex of all the characters in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest‚ but he is actually a static character. Caliban lives a low life as a servant for Prospero. The life of a slave. He provides comical relief as he gets steadily drunker throughout the play‚ but remains devoted to his sole mission throughout the play‚ to take over the island which he “rightfully owns”. You’d think Caliban was evil‚ wouldn’t you? In reality‚ Caliban is the byproduct of his mother’s death and Prospero

In Arthur Miller ’s The Crucible‚ the main character Abigail Williams is to blame for the witch trials in Salem‚ Massachusetts‚ Abigail Williams remained a static character throughout the book. Abigail is a mean‚ deceitful and manipulative person who always wants her way; she has no remorse about who she hurts along her journey to get her want she wants. Abigail Williams is a manipulative evil person throughout The Crucible; she can be characterized as manipulative because she influences the girls

In this investigation three different variables were tested to determine their effect on the force of friction. All throughout the lab it was important to record the data found to identify how much the three variables affected the force of friction. The purpose of the first part of the lab‚ 4.1 What a Drag!‚ was to measure the force required to pull a block over five different surfaces. The sliding surfaces used in the lab were the tabletop‚ waxed paper‚ paper towel‚ fine sandpaper‚ and coarse sandpaper
