Force

A Force is the push or pull on an object. This means that if I am hitting a rock with a stick, and it goes flying, I am applying force to the rock using the stick. Net Force or N is the sum of all the forces being applied to an object.

If two kids both hit a stone with the sum of the forces being 100 N (100 Net Force) and both children are hitting the rock at the same force, then the force of each of the kids is 50 F.

Acceleration

When N is applied to an object, this said object will change speed. This change is the object's Acceleration (A). The larger the object, the more N is required for it to move faster.

For example, if you want to move a truck at the same speed as a Lamborghini, then you will have to apply more N to the truck rather than to the race car because it has a smaller mass than the truck and thus needs less N than the bigger vehicle.

Ecosystems and Biodiversity

Ecosystems Ecosystems are dynamic, which means that they change over time, either for the better or worse. These systems can often times experience disruptions in either the living or non-living parts of the system. Every change can affect the populations of the system. * A change can impact the populations negatively,

Matter and Energy In Ecosystems

Photosynthesis in Ecosystems Energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy by plants through the process of photosynthesis. Plants take water from the ground, C02 from the air, and energy from the sun's rays to preform photosynthesis. After preforming photosynthesis, the plants release Oxygen, which is then

The Arctic Food Web

The Food Web In the image below, I have drawn a food web for the Arctic. The producers are eaten by the primary consumers (portrayed by a green line). The primary consumers' are food for the secondary consumers (shown by red arrows). Some secondary consumers eat each other (shown

Two Greek Myths

Some Greek myths may be difficult to understand. I'll try to make two of them clear so that you may fully understand their meanings. The Myth of Persephone & Demeter Demeter, the “goddess” of the harvest, had a daughter named Persephone, whom she loved very much. One day,
