Balloon Car Experiment Newton’s First Law of Motion states that when an object is set in motion‚ it will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. Theoretically‚ this could mean you could travel at the same speed forever in one direction‚ right? The reason we don’t see this happen is because of friction. The force of friction is the resistance to motion that is in the opposite direction of the traveling object. This is why if you roll a ball on the ground it eventually stops. Friction

American aviators in World War II gets a whitewash in Red Tails. The story of the 996 pilots (and some 15‚000 ground personnel) who distinguished themselves in the air in the face of institutional racism is a great one and‚ at least‚ will come to the attention of more people due to this long-gestating project from Lucas film. But every character here is so squeaky-clean‚ and the prejudice as depicted is so toothless and easily overcome‚ that the film feels like a gingerly fantasy version of what‚ in

Investigatory Projects in Physics | Repulsorlifts as a Method of Stable Magnetic Levitation | Repulsorlifts were used in the study to find out if they can be used to replace the wheels of a conventional car. It was hypothesized that it will be able to lift a car using magnetic repulsion forces. The different magnets were tested individually with the usual tests for magnetic strength‚ size‚ and temperature increase‚ which were done in the preliminary testing. The prototype road and car were

With multiple chapters scrapped‚ characters changed‚ scenes rewritten and added‚ and the budget they are given to add onto the pressure it seems understandable on how such well-written series like The Hunger Games and Harry Potter received movies only to disappoint their fanbase.

Helium Weather Balloons A weather balloon is a scientific instrument used by meteorologists to measure the activity of the world’s weather. Weather balloons are sent into the air every day‚ all over the world; they are sent up at the same time‚ and they are used to measure a variety of atmospheric pressures‚ temperatures‚ and wind rates. The data collected by weather balloons is saved and transmitted by the radiosonde. Sensors in the radiosonde record data and use a radio transmitter to send

Hot Air Balloon Report Hot air balloons fill up slowly and then rise in the sky. Two important principles of physics: the ideal gas law and Archimedes’ principle are the reasons hot air balloons fly. The mathematical relationship between the volume pressure and the temperature of a gas is called the ideal gas law. When a gas is heated‚ as in a hot air balloon‚ then its volume will increase. However‚ there is a heater located in the balloon’s basket that heats the air inside the balloon and blows
