PROBLEM Does a paper airplane designed with more surface area allow the plane to stay aloft a longer amount of time? BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE Several forces combine to affect an airplane’s ability to fly. Thrust – A push that provides the plane with its initial acceleration Lift - Air moving under the wings of the plane providing an upwards force Drag – Air pushing against the plane, causing it to slow down Weight – The weight of the paper airplane that brings it to a landing Gravity – The weight
Dutch - The Worst Movie The worst movie I have seen lately has to be Dutch. A less than heart warming movie about a misunderstood little rich kid and his mother's working class boyfriend traveling home for thanks giving dinner. They go on to a have a not so exciting adventure with a totally ridiculous story driving this train wreck. Not only is everything that happens in this story totally unbelievable. Each event gives you another reason to dislike one of the characters a little more. By the end
Paper Planes Sometimes Australian cinema can be overlooked in many international markets, and even domestically as the distributors needed to gain worldwide attention are not generally signed with the productions. Coupled with the different setting and characters as of other Hollywood films, makes the Australian film genre a difficult sell to many international markets. This was clearly evident in the 2014 Australian film Paper Planes. Paper Planes was released here in Australia theatrically on the
Introduction What lets a paper plane to float through air? And why does the paper plane land? To find this out, we will discover the science in flying a paper plane and also the different forces that act upon the paper plane in order for it to fly and land. These forces apply to real airplanes. A force would be something that drives or pulls on something else. When a paper plane is thrown into the air, it is given a push to move forward. This is called the thrust. As the plane is flying forward, air
This book is written by Gary Paulsen. It takes place in the Canadian wilderness, where Brian Robeson’s, who is 13 yrs. Old, plane crashes. Brian shows a lot of determination and strength, to be able to survive in the wilderness, with no one else. The story starts out with Brian in the city, he lives with his mother, who is divorced. His mother gives him a gift before he leaves and it is a hatchet that fits on his belt so Brian puts it there. Brian meets the pilot and he is a nice man. Brian and the
Leonardo da Vinci and the Chinese are both credited for creating the parachute, but it was really in the 18th century when France both created it and used it by basically throwing themselves out of planes. Little did anyone know that skydiving would be one of the craziest sports today. Jumping out of a plane two and a half miles up into the sky would not be someone’s idea of a normal day. As bad as two and a half miles up in the sky is, try doing it traveling at a rate of one-hundred and sixty miles
He was very nice and especially very comprehensive everything was sorted then he thought of going in a plane made me shiver again. We arrived in London, we were greeted by a Spanish lady, she tried to speak to us in French but her effort was lamentable. Anyway, we preceded with the paper work then we immediately stepped on the plane, a thousand form of fears and questions invaded my brain once again I was immersed in my own thoughts. Finally exhausted and elated we
I was on a plane headed to Europe when something went terribly wrong, we began a sharp descendant. A fast downhill spiral that seemed only possible to end in complete death for everyone aboard. I was not alone on the plane either, I had my twin sister and my younger sister with me. There were other people on the plane too, strangers to me and my sisters though, I had never seen them before and now I thought I would never see them again. I told my sisters to stay in their seats, I would go to the
geometry. However, sometimes a property is true for all three geometries. These points bring us to the purpose of this paper. This paper is an opportunity for me to demonstrate my growing understanding about Euclidean Geometry, Spherical Geometry, and Hyperbolic Geometry. The first issue that I will focus on is the definition of a straight line on all of these surfaces. For a Euclidean plane the definition of a “straight line” is a line that can be traced by a point that travels at a constant direction
the US. The bird's eye view of the United States, DC from the plane was remarkable. I had many flights in my life, but I have never seen like this before. I was so excited to see my dad who moved to the US two years ago to find a better life for my brother and I and a better job for himself and my mom. The flight attendant said that we were landing and told to fasten our seatbelts. I feel like I am so near to seeing my dad. The plane started to be lower and lower to touch the ground. Then we landed
every summer, and just relaxing for a... ... middle of paper ... ...area to get on to the plane back to England. Just before we were boarding my dad received a phone call on his mobile phone, I overheard a bit of the conversation, he was talking to his friend about how the guards and how they only kept us behind because of the colour of our skin, he said that it is terrible ever since 9/11. When we all ready to leave on the plane the Muslim family walked down the isle late, and as they
I looked out the little oval window down 45,000 feet to where I just was. Occasionally the plane would hit turbulence making it feel like I was on a paper airplane, about to fall apart at any moment. The feeling of a million butterflies crept up in my stomach when we landed in Alabama where I would be for five days. Walking out of the airport into a warm bath of sunshine felt amazing after being disconnected from nature and weather for god knows how long. My grandma, mom, and I patiently waited
there were a lot of other people from our team and they were also on the same plane as us. Once I got on the plane I realized that it would take like 2-3 hours. When we took off the first thing I did was go on my phone. After a little while, I got bored so I started to do some homework. When I finished some of my homework I drew some pictures because my mom got me paper and some colored pencils before we went on the plane. After I got bored of coloring, the workers started handing out snack and drinks

Memoir Paper My mom came into my room at 3:30 in the morning because I had to finish packing and getting ready. Henk and Lizzie was going to pick us up in an hour to take get to the airport. I have been waiting for this day for a while now. I was so tired but I didn't care that I had to get up that early, I just wanted to get there. I haven't been to California before and was looking forward to being on the beach. We were meeting more people at the airport that was coming along with us. The flight
I stepped of the plane at McCarren Airport with a huge grin on my face. I walked to the baggage claim like a little kid walks into Disneyland, with a look of excitement and a pep in my step. With a suitcase in hand and a foot out the door I could feel the lick of the dry desert air on my skin. I saw my mother waiting for me at passenger pickup with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face and that’s when I knew I was home. Being so far from home for college was taking a toll on me, I couldn’t sleep
Drop Tower I was eight years old when it was my very first time at King’s Island. It had been a very exciting day so far. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, yet it was very crowded. My grandma, aunt, brother and my three cousins came with me. We rode rides and watched my aunt and my brother do a fun ride where you fly around with strings holding you up on your stomach like superman. The summer light was finally fading after being at the park the whole day. I
I was 2:00 pm a quiet afternoon on the Air Canada Airlines. Everyone was silent until a 50 year old white woman came into the plane and began a rukas. As she arrives to her seat she has a disgusted look on her face. The passenger next to her was a black man who was in his mid 30's minding his own buisness. But he couldn't help notice that there was a furious white woman calling out to the flight attendent. The flight attendent arrived and asked, "What's the problem, ma'am?" The white woman yells
Flying High Few thousand feet into the air. Looking out at the ant sized houses. Then up close to a national monument, flying over Keystone, South Dakota gave me views I’d never had.I learned that flying is fun. And I want to get my pilot's license someday. First I was this place in South Dakota That had a helicopter, when I got there I wanted to scream out in excitement. I saw the sign that said Rushmore Helicopters, Inc and I know I was in for the time of my life. We stepped into the place and
stuck on. I switched off my seat display, to find myself getting lost in the eighty’s style blue pattern that covered the chair in front of me. “You okay?” Kyani asked, “Yeah, I’m just ready to get off and get out of the airport.” Everyone on the plane start shuffling around, anxious to get off this stuffy tin can. “We are all going to meet at customs!” My teacher announced to the group. I looked to Kyani for the look of reassurance, knowing that neither of us knew what we were doing, and after the
