    David- Michelangelo vs. Bernini The Baroque period of the 17th century had both incorporated and rejected the ideals of the antecedent High Renaissance art. Like High Renaissance art‚ Baroque art focused on making idealized and natural artwork. However‚ Baroque art introduced a way of involving the viewer into the artwork that was new and differed from High Renaissance art‚ which instead kept the viewer at a distance. The composition and diagonal movement in the space are two of the features of

    Robert Pittman 1/26/2012 Physics Circular motion creating artificial gravity Artificial gravity is a must have for any and every space station‚ if the human is living there for a long period of time. If there isn’t any artificial gravity present then the human body is extremely stunned which forces all the biological functions to break down. Astronauts that are in orbit for a long period of time tend to show major decreases in their bone strength‚ muscular tone‚ and also

    of the many questions people wonder is‚ why gravity differs on different planets and moons. In order to understand the answer of this question‚ one must know what gravity is. Gravity is the force of nature that attracts one body towards the center of the Earth‚ or any other physical body that has any kind of mass. Gravity is also in charge of the interactions that occur between particles and collections of matter‚ like the stars and the planets. Gravity depends on two different things‚ the masses

    Imagine what life would be like without gravity. Would it be fun or maybe the most horrible experience ever? Astronauts are forced to deal with these types of issues everyday. In the story ’Life Without Gravity‚’ astronauts are challenged to find solutions for problems faced in space. Despite all the problems‚ there are also positive outcomes of experiencing zero gravity. Weightlessness has advantages such as being fun and useful. There are also disadvantages such as changes in the body and nausea

    Determining acceleration due to gravity by three methods Purpose: To use three different methods to determine the acceleration due to gravity and see which is more accurate. Also to give us practical application and proof of the 9.8m/s/s law. Materials: Eraser‚ Video‚ stop watch‚ 2M stick Procedure: We measured 2M from the floor to a certain spot on the chalk board. Then we measured by hand with a stop watch how long it took for the eraser to hit the floor. In the video they used a ball

    Design Rationale It is known that the acceleration due to gravity (or g) is approximately 9.8m/s2 [down] or -9.8m/s2 [up]. What we are trying to do is design an experiment to measure and confirm this value. Our plan was to drop an object from a reasonable height and use a ticker tape timer to measure the amount of time and distance travelled between each time. The weight of the object used would have to be heavy enough that it would not be affected by air resistance. For example‚ you shouldn’t use
