Science Physics Core science questions and answers- Topic 1- The solar system- 1. What is a geocentric model? It is a model with the earth at the centre. 2. Describe two differences between ptolemy’s and Copernicus’s models- What is at the centre of the model and the way in which the planets followed smaller circles in their orbits in ptolemy’s model.

Craters || || Overview · Evaluate parameters affecting crater formation. · Find the size of the asteroid/comet that killed the dinosaurs. · Understand how you can make your own series of craters, to observe the "geological" results. · Look at and evaluate images of craters on other planets/celestial bodies. Pre-lab Questions Answer these questions: 1.
His observations of planetary motion, mostly that of Mars, gave important data for astronomers to come, like Kepler. This helped us construct our model of the solar system we use today. The calculation that if the Earth moves then the stars are at least 700
Both briefly touched on the discovery and then focused on more on the American astrologists that confirmed the findings and found some planets of their own. These articles mostly started my look into the subject and will give some brief information, but I also find others that dive more into the topic. By using articles by Walker, Burrows, and Lunine, I will examine the initial reaction of the scientific community in 1995 to this discovery and discuss some of the more technical aspects of 51 Pegasi B. I find it quite interesting how a planet can still exist so close to a sun and with surface temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Kelvin. This extreme survivability of 51 Pegasi B was thought to not be possible until its discovery, and now has astronomers rethinking the bases of their planetary understanding. The origin of 51 Pegasi B is also an extremely interesting story, as it is hard to believe that a planet could form so close to a star.
------------------------------------------------- Straw Rocket lab report Charlene Walker Class 803 [Date] [Company name] [Company address] [Date] [Company name] [Company address] Problem – How will the size of the wings affect the distance the rocket travels ? Hypothesis – The rocket with the smallest wings will go the furthest Materials – 1- Drinking straw 2- Printing paper 3- Clay 4- Scissors 5- Tape 6- Measuring tape Backround information – According to newtons 2nd law of motion it states exact The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector. Procedure – 1- After building the rockets my team adjusted the launcher to the trajectory angle of 45 degrees 2- We took turns as we raised the launch rod to the 5th calibration line 3- To launch, we released the launch rod so that it falls to the bottom of the cylinder. 4- We measured the rockets range using a measuring tape.
Christian Flores WRC 1013-08 Ms Hudson October 16, 2012 Apollo 11 The myth busters are a group of scientist and special effects professionals that work together to solve their viewers questions about modern myths that deal with special effects for example, Apollo 11. They are made up of 5 people Adam Savage, Jaime Hyneman, Grant Imahara, Kary Byron, and Tory Belleci. Apollo 11 had and still has several conspiracy theories. One of the most common theories is that Apollo 11 was staged in a studio instead of being actual footage of man’s first steps on the moon. Since this is such an important part of history the myth busters wanted to prove that the Apollo 11 mission was in fact true.

Name: Date: Semester Lab: Lost in Space – Checkpoint #2 Worksheet Scientists find an unknown sample in a NASA lab that has been misplaced. They want to identify the sample, place it back into the NASA collection, and match it with the correct mission. Day 1 A) Space Missions Clue: Scientists believe the unknown sample was collected from one of the past space missions below. They want you to research these NASA missions to discover the objectives each mission. (5 points) Note: Go to http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/ and check the planet missions that you want to research.
