identical sister-prototypes, lies a chunk of metal which seems of no importance whatsoever. This piece of platinum is in fact the Kilogram. A kilogram is currently defined as the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram, IPK for short– an actual molded piece of platinum alloy. As such, this piece of metal is the only thing in the world with a mass of exactly one kilogram. If someone were to alter the weight of IPK, the weight of everything else in the world (yes, every single piece of existing
How Boats Work As most people probably know a propeller is what drives a motorboat through the water. However, the water gives off quite a bit of resistance. If you want to travel at greater velocities you have to speed up the boat to push against the water and to move the hull higher. The force of the water against the hull is called friction. This slows the boat down. If a boat hull is designed well the water will flow around more easily. The sail of a modern sailing boat or yacht

doctors had to precisely calculate medication measurements. Medication is prescribed using the metric system, often in milligrams per kilogram (Glydon). To figure how much medicine to prescribe to a patient, a doctor must first convert their patient’s weight in pounds to kilograms. After this, they must carefully calculate the amount of required milligrams per kilogram. Doctors must be able to determine ... ... middle of paper ... ...out it, we would not have made as medical advances as we have
Biology: The Science of Our Lives Biology literally means "the study of life". Biology is such a broad field, covering the minute workings of chemical machines inside our cells, to broad scale concepts of ecosystems and global climate change. Biologists study intimate details of the human brain, the composition of our genes, and even the functioning of our reproductive system. Biologists recently all but completed the deciphering of the human genome, the sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bases
fifties. General Electric Company under the auspices of the U.S. military launched a project called Hardiman. Terms of Reference were unbelievable: the exoskeleton from GE should have let a person to operate with loads up to a thousand pounds (680 kilograms). The military expected to use the new technique to facilitate the work of gunsmiths in the Air Force. In addition, “in line" were nuclear scientists, builders and representatives of the mass of other industries. But even ten years after the start
For my 8 week training activity, I choose to practice soccer to improve various aspects of my physical health. I will try to improve my endurance most importantly. I feel that it is the my weakest physical aspect. I will practice soccer dribbles, because they obviously require technique, I will also practice to move with and without the ball at my control. It is not easy to do, but eventually, I will succeed. As I said earlier, I will improve my endurance. I will jog everyday for 30 minutes( starting)
The Aussiedoodle is a mix of Australian Shepherd and either a Standard or Miniature Poodle. This cross-breed is also considered Einsteins of the canine world. Let’s get to know more about this extraordinary breed. Basic facts The Aussiedoodle is an intelligent breed that usually weighs around 25 to 70 pounds, depending on the Poodle’s size used for breeding. Aussiedoodles are a relatively new breed, having become popular around 20 years ago. This breed has a moderate to high energy level, that’s
ship actually weighs. Archimedes Principle: Any object wholly or partly immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Density is mass of a unit volume of a material substance, expressed as kilograms per cubic meter in MKS or SI units. Density offers a convenient means of obtaining the mass of a body from its volume or vice versa; the mass is equal to the volume multiplied by the density, while the volume is equal to the mass divided by the density
Well it's quite simple actually. Spudguns use some of the same principles as internal combustion engines. Just as burning gas forces a piston out of a cylinder it can also force out a potato. A spudgun is a device that uses some form of propellant to project a potato across the sky. Usually these devices are made of ABS plastic sewer pipe. There are several major parts of the spud gun that these pages will refer to. These parts are the firing chamber, the igniter, and the barrel. The ignition
The Metric System Unlike Present Day, where most scientific groups and people use the standard unit of measurement; the metric system, there used to be a time when a variety of units of measurement were frequently used throughout the world, some units were also measured using the human body. For example length could be measured in numerous ways such as feet, hands, cubits, palms, rods, furlongs and many more. This creation of multiple varying units created an absence in common measurement standards
Density is the ratio between mass and volume, the unit of density for solid or liquid in the metric system is measured in g/ml or g/cm^3. Mass is the quantity of matter in a particular object, the unit for measuring mass of an object is represented in kilogram (kg) or gram (g). Volume is the certain amount of space occupied by an object, the unit for measuring volume of a particular object is either represented as millimeter (ml) or cubic centimeter (cm^3). The purpose of this laboratory investigation
Parachute Experiment Prediction My prediction is that as the weight of plastercine increases the time taken for the parachute to reach the ground will decrease I think this because when the weight has just been dropped it is going slowly, but as it falls through the air it will gain speed until it reaches its terminal velocity. The weight does not change but the A.R gets bigger until it equals out the downwards force of gravity, so when the weight is larger it will have to fall further
HYPOTHESIS: If I use the Metric Measurement and become more familiar with it, then I will be able to convert other measurements and learn to use it and understand it better since other countries used the Metric Measurement. MATERIALS: Small ruler, key, paper clip, thumb, meter stick, balance scale, wooden block, stone, Millimeter ruler, 50ml graduated cylinder, test tube, water, and eyedropper. PROCEDURE: A. Measuring Length 1. Measure objects in cm and convert that measurement into mm and
The objective of this lab is to try to separate the different compounds that are contained in cereal. Cereal are composed of different components such as sugar, vegetables oils, vitamin, minerals, and other preservatives. In this experiment we will try to separate the different compounds. I believe that the law of conversation of mass should come into effect in this experiment. The reason being is because the mass of the reactants must equal the same amount as the product even if the reactants go
Should America use the Metric System The Metric system is used across the world, all except for the United States of America and two other countries. Switching to Metric can mean more business opportunities for America from other countries. The Metric system can be the link for fashion designers to have more opportunities in other countries, or scientists as well. Because of the loss of jobs due to not using the Metric system in America, the country will not advance. The biggest argument against
Living in the country, I decided to start a small farm raising horses and goats. After my first year, it was clear to me that there is a difference between raising horses and goats and it has been my experience that goats are easier to raise and maintain. By owning horses, their sizes range from one thousand to twelve hundred pounds. As a colt they are born weighing at least one hundred pounds. Within three months a colt can weigh two to three hundred pounds. Transporting these horses require
Effect of Glucose Concentration on Osmosis The aim of my experiment is to investigate the effect of glucose solution on osmosis in potato chips. I shall be observing how the mass of the potato chip changes in different concentrations of glucose solutions. Simply, will the effect of the action of osmosis be affected by the concentration of the solution? Firstly, I measure the mass of the potato chips, each one was to be 10 grams in weight. The chip will be placed into a glucose solution
Chemical Analysis of Preparing a Solution of Sodium Chloride One of the most common practices in the laboratory is accurately to prepare chemical solutions in the laboratory. I was given the task to prepare a one mole solution of sodium chloride for a precipitate experiment. The solution must be at a high level of accuracy to make sure the experiment works next week. Safety Points Sodium Chloride · Wear safety goggles · Do not eat · Use smallest amounts possible on a
Wrestling is the hardest sport both physically and mentally.The constant management of weight is what kills me the most, I can take all the cheap shots from opponents and the slams down onto the mat but the cutting weight part is the worst. It was the day before a tournament and I was 14 pounds over the weight I was going to wrestle that weekend. I had to lose it, so i did. I ran with layers of clothing on all night long and I didn 't eat or drink anything for two days, I made myself freeze at night
