determine whether the height at which a marble is dropped affect the size of the crater. Scientific knowledge Impact craters are geologic structures formed when a large meteorite‚ asteroid or comet smashes in to a planet or a satellite. Meteorites are small rocks in space that hit the earth’s atmosphere at a high velocity. Throughout their history they have heavily bombarded all the inner bodies in our solar system. In this experiment we will use marbles as our meteorites‚ these will be free falling

“Not Marble Nor The Gilded Monument” by Archibad MacLeish is telling about how every moment matters and the transience of life of a woman. The part of the poem “Therefore I will not speak of the undying glory of women” means that he will stop speaking about the dead woman to other people but he will always remember her. Even if no one will remember the swish of her garments or the click of her shoe‚ he still will. But the only thing he will talk about to other people is how she was young‚ straight

Bernini uses his talent and artistic skills to create an illusion of action‚ an atmosphere of anticipation as we wait for the figures to come alive and break free from

Carbonates react with strong acids to give off carbon dioxide and water. Marble is calcium carbonate and thus behaves in the same way: CaCO3 (s) + 2HCL (aq)  CaCL2 (aq) + H2O (l) +CO2 (g) In this experiment‚ I am going to see if temperature affects the reaction rate between marble chips and hydrochloric acid by timing the release of carbon dioxide in the reaction. I predict the higher the temperature‚ the faster the reaction rate. This is due to the kinetic theory. The more heat

How does acid precipitation affect marble and limestone buildings? Acid rain is a type of precipitation that is characterised by containing contaminating substances such as sulphuric and nitric acid‚ both of which have harmful effects on the environment. Both marble and limestone are extremely vulnerable to the damages done by acid rain due to their components. These materials contain calcite‚ a substance that easily reacts and dissolves with acid. Acid rain is the cause of the destruction of many

Examinations‚ as we know it‚ have emerged to be the main theme of modern education in the ever-changing landscape of academia. In an education infrastructure that is as unpredictable as the clouds‚ it is somewhat ironic that the system of examinations as a means of judging a student’s ability has prevailed through the years. Every person‚ in their quest for knowledge‚ would inevitably encounter numerous modes of examinations through the course of their academic journey. As much importance has been

“It was sheer good fortune that the Conservative Party were returned to office in May 1955.” Discuss. In the May 1955 General Election‚ the Conservatives won 344 seats‚ winning with an overall majority of 58; with Labour winning 277 and 3.9% of votes were for Liberal and Others. It can be argued that the Conservatives were returned to office in 1955 due sheer good fortune. However‚ we must explore the other options as to why the Tory party won‚ particularly how the Conservative party looked against
