  You’ve been selected to join the crew of  an upcoming mission to the Moon.  Discuss any changes that will occur as  you make the voyage in terms of mass, acceleration due to gravity, and  weight. Feel free to embellish your account of values but you will need  to look up the accelerations due to […]

   You will do some research to determine how these devices are different but still use similar optical concepts to do different tasks. Microscopes use light and radiation to examine very small objects. Some devices are known an Electron Microscopes can be used to see extremely small objects. What are some applications of different types […]

  You  are spending a weekend onboard the International Space Station and  you’ve been asked to produce a video of a weightlessness demonstration.   However, are you truly weightless?  Prepare a response to this question  in terms of mass, acceleration to gravity, and weight.  Feel free to  embellish your account of values but you will need […]

   What are the applications of superconductivity? Superconductivity was discovered early in the 20th century. It allows current to flow in certain materials without electrical resistance when the material's temperature is lowered to extreme temperatures. This week, you will examine applications of electricity and related concepts. Electricity is fundamental to our increasingly technology-based society.  The […]

   You are driving a car down a straight highway when you come upon a sudden accident. You slam on your brake to avoid hitting the car in front of you. Describe any changes in the motion of your car in terms of velocity and acceleration. Feel free to embellish your account of values of […]

   Research how the system works to convert energy generated at one time for storage and then can be used at a later time to generate electricity for the consumer grid. Heat or Internal Energy Storage–Molten silicon thermal energy storage, molten salt thermal energy storage Identify the type of energy      that is stored (for example, […]

   While traveling in the engine of a train, you are given the opportunity to activate the horn.  How is the sound you hear different someone near the tracks ahead of your train? How is the sound you hear different from someone in a car traveling next to the tracks at the same velocity? This […]
