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

Science WAC - Are self driving cars worth the risk? | Nicolas Reed | 1/7/19-1/11/19

nreed1005 Ms. Garcia Science 8 1/11/19 Self Driving Cars Are Not Worth the Risk         Currently, the world is debating about whether or not we should use self driving cars. This topic has created tons of controversy and currently, we are torn on what the right decision is. Self driving cars are not worth the risk. Not only will these machines take people's jobs, but they also have other faults that will affect humans. They are simply not completely ready and sophisticated enough to be used. Most importantly, these vehicles will put many people’s lives in danger.        The use of self driving cars will create many issues that will affect many people. As according to the video titled, “The Pros and Cons of Autonomous Vehicles” by the Tech & innovations Channel, “According to certain estimates, about 4 million people are going to lose their jobs” due to the upbringing of self driving cars (autonomous vehicles). These jobs include taxi drivers, uber drivers, pilots,
