The wind was blowing in my face‚ causing drool to fly out of mouth. I felt bad for the guy behind me. Was this what it was like to go 90 mph in mid air? This was my first time‚ being 16 years old and never been on a rollercoaster. I have always been afraid of roller coasters‚ hearing all the bad things about them‚ considering all the negative affects‚ and fearing I would fall off or get stuck. But today was a new day‚ going to Kings Dominion with my brother and best friend who were not taking no

Can you imagine reliving the time of the Holocaust? Well‚ in the book "The Wave" by Todd Strasser‚ the students of Gordon High School experience something similar to the Nazi Party take over. I couldn’t imagine what it’d be like to be in one of the students place‚ I wouldn’t know how to react to it if I were in their position. But while reading the book it was very realistic and had me wondering with every turn of the page. It all started when history teacher Mr. Ben Ross teaches his class about

There are many impacts that could affect the academic achievement .one of them is reducing class size. Based on the work of a group of researchers headed by Gene Glass and Mary Lee Smith‚ 15 students was chosen to be the number of students in small class size for the major benefits to be obtained (Glass‚ et 1978).It is suggested that reducing class size by five student is expensive but it is not found to be as costly as lengthening the school day or using computer assisted instructor. It can have

Namee: Paul G. Zamora (Homework in Performance Techniques) Sound Waves- A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium (such as air‚ water‚ or any other liquid or solid matter) as it propagates away from the source of the sound. The source is some object that causes a vibration‚ such as a ringing telephone‚ or a person’s vocal chords. The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium; those particles disturb those next to them

Longitudinal and transverse waves Sound is transmitted through gases‚ plasma‚ and liquids as longitudinal waves‚ also called compression waves. Through solids‚ however‚ it can be transmitted as both longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Longitudinal sound waves are waves of alternating pressure deviations from the equilibrium pressure‚ causing local regions of compression and rarefaction‚ while transverse waves are waves of alternating shear stress at right angle to the direction of propagation

30 plus and not yet a film-maker? - John Greenleaf Whittier Perhaps the saddest words in the English language‚ and perhaps in every other language when translated‚ would be “If only.” But what is worse is not just the regret of what might have been but of being at an age where it seems as if it is too late to start anew by following our dreams. The so called maturity of the 40s and 50s also brings a sense of risk aversion as there is apparently more to lose‚ requires one to step out of a lifetime’s

What are UltraSonic Waves? Ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies high about human hearing and short wave lengths. Sound waves have frequencies about 20‚000 to 100‚000. Also Ultrasound frequencies range from 20 kHz (the upper range of hearing for a young adult human) through 150 kHz (audible to some bats and other creatures)‚ right up to 10 MHz (used in some medical treatments and industrial cleaning applications). While these frequencies overlap with those of radio waves‚ they are different
