lived there. There have been many discoveries and advances that can help prevent a future “Dust Bowl”‚ but the US could experience the Dust Bowl again. We have come a long way from the Dust Bowl and with advances in areas such as agriculture and conservation‚ scientists and researchers have delayed the chance of a second Dust Bowl. Some examples on how we have delayed a second Dust Bowl are policies and strict regulations that farmers and other crop producers must follow and obey.

While analyzing the data found from a ballistic pendulum experiment‚ the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy and the Law of Conservation of Momentum both need to be utilized. The involvement of both of these physical laws struck the group ’s immediate interest because of the pertinence to what had been being learned in class. The two previous laws were

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy consumption through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service.[1] For example‚ driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques. Even though energy conservation reduces energy services
