Earth Impact.

     Imagine you are in the future. An asteroid is coming to Earth. You and your team get on a space ship. The space ship is equiped so that it can destroy half of the asteroid. The asteroid has a mass of 20000kg and a speed of 25000 meters a second.  Calculate the force of the asteroid before and after half the asteroid is destroyed? Why is the force less when half is destroyed?

Asteroid Impact

 Imagine an asteroid is heading toward Earth. The asteroid is heading on a trajectory to hit the international space station. You are on a team of scientist working  on this problem. What question could you ask to help solve this problem of science and engineering?

Penny Drop

What would happen if you dropped a penny off a tall building. The is a common urban legend about dropping a penny of the empire state building in New York city. If this happend what do you think the results would be when it landed on the ground below?  How would terminal velocity affect the outcome?

Falling Objects

 Eli says to Eben the heavier an object is the fast it falls. Eben tells Eli that he wrong. Eben says the longer an object falls the faster it falls. Han says that there are more factors involved when objects fall. Who do you think is right and why?

Friction

 You roll a model car down the hallway.  The car came to a stop without hitting anything. Connor said it stopped because there was no force pushing on it. Stoy said it was because of unseen forces. Who do you agree with and explain why you agree.

Collision

 Anthony is conduction a train going east at 26 meters per second with a mass of 7200kg. Ben is conduction a train going west at 44 m/s and a mass of 5000kg. 

1. what is the momentum of the two trains before they collide? 

2. What is the momentum of the trains at the time of the collision? 

3. What will happen to Anthony's train when it hits Ben's train?

Law of Conservation of Momentum

 The law of conservation of momentum means when two objects collide momentum is not lost but transferred. If you created a collision between two objects, how could you predict the outcome of the two objects.

More ways genes work.

 There are genes that are recessive and genes that are dominate. Sometimes there can be a cross between two dominate genes. If SpongeBob was growing flowers and his garden, and he had red flowers and  blue flowers. Both red and blue are dominate genes, what would your prediction be if SpongeBob crossbred his red and blue flowers?

potatoes and puppies

Genetics are passed down from one parent or two. Puppies are an example of an organism that passes down genes from two parents to one offspring. Potatoes are an example of an organism the passes down genes from just one parent to offspring. Use the internet find examples of organism the have two parents and organisms that have just one.
