disturbance in liquid. For example if the ball is dropped into water‚ its energy will affect the water‚ causing some amount to splashed out. When the ball is released from a height‚ its initial potential energy combined with the gravitational energy form a kinetic energy‚ which transmitted to the water. So I will investigate the relationship of drop height of the ball and the amount of water splashed out. Research question: How does the volume of water splashed out depend on drop height of the ball?

First‚ California is closer to the water. This results in cooler summers and warmer winters because there is a smaller temperature change in water rather than soil when it is exposed to heat. Saint Louis isn’t near any large body of water‚ which results in the Air/soil temperature being warmer. It also has a greater temperature

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans and groundwater). Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water; and‚ in almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and populations‚ but also to the natural biological communities. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Contents [hide] • 1 Introduction
