Mouse Trap Racecar Project Eric Lamond SPHU3 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

Current‚ Voltage and Power * Electricity is the flow of electric charge. We can describe the flow of electric charge in several ways. These include the quantities Current‚ Voltage and Power. Current * Current (I) is the rate of flow of Charge Carriers‚ such as electrons. Current is usually thought of as moving in the direction of positive charge‚ so from the positive power supply to the negative. However‚ since in metals it is electrons that carry electric charge‚ the actually flow is opposite

length of a pendulum if this period with a fixed support would be about one meter. Make a pendulum with a yielding support. ix) Use the results from the experiment to calculate a value for d that would give a period of two seconds for the pendulum used. x) Use your answer to (ix) to suggest whether the use of a yielding support would save space.

Analytical essay of “Everyday Use” In her story “Everyday Use‚” Alice Walker is telling the story though the eyes of Mama‚ who is the narrator of this story. The story begins by describing the beautiful garden‚ which is like an extended living room on a common day. Then Mama introduces one of her two daughters‚ Maggie‚ whose life is held away by her sister. This story tells about many different themes and issues in common daily life. One of the major themes in “Everyday Use” is contrasting

The physics behind SCUBA diving and the physical effects on the body. Scuba diving is a sport that many people enjoy but hardly understand the physics behind. The journey from the pressure of the atmosphere to the deeper depths of the seas is not just a trip that involves breathing air out of a tank and looking at fish. If we were to go on an imaginary journey beginning at the surface and traveling to the bottom of a 300 foot lake your body would under go a change in pressure nearly of 10 times

Next would be how you hold the guitar while sitting or standing. This is a very simple technique and very hard to do incorrectly. The back of the guitar will be flush against your midsection. If the guitar covers most of your torso‚ then it may be too big. If it is too big‚ it will be difficult to play smoothly. Now that you know how to hold the guitar‚ and where to put your hands‚ you should know how to put the strap on the guitar‚ simply referred to as “strapping the guitar”. Both ends of the strap

Science in the Big City: Exploring Career Opportunities in the Natural and Physical Sciences New York City May 13-18‚ 2014 Students in the Natural Sciences at the University of Houston-Downtown are generally accomplished and motivated students with strong interests in science. However‚ students typically have a very limited perception of the science careers available to them outside of medicine. To educate students as to the array of potential careers available in the sciences (not medicine)
