Hand To Hand Combat Played A Major
1,446 words
The Revolutionary War and the Civil War may seem
very different at first glance due to their
differences in time. But actually they were very
similar in many ways. One way in which they were
so similar is in the weapons they used. Many of
the weapons used in the Civil War were either the
same or based off of the weapons from the American
Revolution. One very important similarity is the

Ball Bearings Cm

SC 1: Investigating Terminal Velocity When an
object falls through a fluid it accelerates until
it reaches its terminal velocity. At this speed
the forces acting on it are balanced. My task is
to investigate the factors that affect the
terminal velocity of a falling object. I am going
to investigate how mass affects the terminal
velocity. I think that as the mass of the ball
bearing increases so does the weight of the ball
bearing, which requires more friction to balance
the ball bearing's weigh...

True Human Cloning Biological Aspects True human
cloning involves taking a somatic cell from a
person and removing its nucleus. Then the nucleus
of a fertilized egg cell is removed and placed in
the somatic cell. This is impossible in humans
right now because the somatic cells are
