Force | 1/14/19-1/18/19

Force by Penubag

Summary:

       Force can simply be defined as a push or pull. Force is energy that results from a movement. Force also has a unique relationship with vector quantities as is it is a vector quantity, but it is also the thing that creates vector quantities. This is because a vector quantity is created by a force that has magnitude and direction. Due to how force and motion are directly correlated, force has much to do with motion. The first of the three laws of motion (according to Isaac Newton) is that objects in motion tend to say in motion. At the same token, objects at rest tend to stay at rest (this is also known as the law of inertia). The second law is, "the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional  to the magnitude of the net force (how big the force is), in the same direction, as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object (how heavy the object is)." In other words, force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. The third and final law is that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

S&EP 5-Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking:

       I used mathematics and computational thinking when answering questions about force. These types of questions were questions that mainly involved net force. I had to use mathematical thinking to add, subtract, and predict. I used mathematics to add when two forces were acting on an object in the same direction. I used mathematics to subtract when two or more forces were acting on the same object in opposite directions. I then had to subtract the smaller force from the greater force to find the net force (the difference of the equation). Lastly, I used mathematics to predict when  being asked questions such as, which side do you think will win the tug of war. I had to take into account the combined mass and force of both sides to try and find the most promising winner. This is how I used mathematics and computational thinking.

XCC-Energy and Matter:

       One thing that I realized this week was that energy and matter play a massive role in the system of force. This is due to how both energy and matter are needed to make force work and exist. This is because of how energy affects force and force affects matter. As energy is needed to actually produce force. In result of this created force, matter is being affected by the force pushing or pulling the matter. For example, if a human scores a goal in a soccer game, he used energy to swing his leg at the ball. This energy created a force that affected the ball (which is matter) which caused the ball to be pushed and move in such a way that it made into the soccer net so that the human could score a goal. This is how energy and matter work in the system of force.

The Sulfur Cycle 1/20/18

Summary:        This week in science we learned about biogeochemical cycles, more specifically, I learned about the biogeochemical cycle known as the Sulfur Cycle. What I now know about the Sulfur Cycle because of what I learned this week through research is each part in the sulfur cycle. I also now know that their are a lot of different parts in the sulfur, but my focus was trying to make this complicated cycle very simple and easy to understand. The first part in the Sulfur Cycle is  Hydrogen Sulfide Gas is released into the atmosphere by the eruptions of volcanoes, hot springs (“ spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater that rises from the Earth's crust. ”) , and the decay of living biological sulfur-containing materials in swamps, bogs, and tidal flats. Sulfur is also released from the ocean in sulfur-containing compounds in sea spray, and as the gas hydrogen sulfide. I also know that most of the sulfur released from the world's oceans does so

Plate Tectonics 3/10/18

Summary:        This week in science we learned about Plate Tectonics. Plates have been on Earth for thousands of years and are consistently moving (very slowly). Through this the Earth can recycle our land, by destroying the old land, and creating new land. These plates are made of rock and are in the lithosphere layer of the Earth. Another thing I know is that there are 3 different type of plate boundaries. Those three types of plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. Convergent boundaries are when two plates collide and their are two different types of convergent boundaries. The two types of convergent boundaries are collisional boundaries and subduction zones. A collisional boundary is when two plates with the same density collide. Because they are the same density the plates buckle and warp. The land then pushes up into jagged peaks forming a mountain. Subduction zones are when one dense ocean plate converges with a lighter con

Analog Vs. Digital debate - WAC 3 Argument | Nicolas Reed-8th Grade Science

nreed1005 Ms. Garcia Science 8 4/5/19 Digital is Better than Analog        “There's an ongoing flood of new LP releases (Amazon currently lists 938,000 LP titles ). Kings of Leon, Taylor Swift, Nine Inch Nails, and Kanye West all have their latest releases available on LP.” according to the article titled, “Why does analog sound better than digital,” by Steve Guttenberg. Digital is better than analog. Digital allows you to have a clearer sound that is controllable and can last forever. Most importantly, it is cheaper, which means that it can used by almost anyone. Analog is the past, we must invest in the future and use digital.        Using digital means having high quality sound that can be manipulated. “Digital has certain perfect things about it [, it] immediately solved all the problems of analog background noise, hiss, where pitch control all of those things.” according to the video titled, “Analog or Digital? (1993),” from PastVid. Digital allows you to have “go
