Why is it dangerous to jump of a tall building Explain this in terms of the forces acting on you?
There is no air resistance to keep you from hitting the ground, the density of your body is heavier then the air, causing you to fall quickly into the ground.
What is a example of a common techonology that does not efficiently convert energy Explain?
1. A car. Perhaps 30% of the energy in the gasolene is converted to movement energy. The remainder is wasted as heat. 2. The incandescent light bulbs convert a large portion of the electricity into heat - when usually the desired output is light. Fortunately, this type of bulb is gradually being replaced by more modern technologies.
Suggest some simple physics working model projects?
You could try, with a CD or DVD, to angle it to obtain the 'rainbow' spectrum on the shiny surface. Try it with both a fluorescent and an incandescent light source as well as sunshine. Explain your results. Also, check out the site I linked below for some ideas. Also, here's another truly inspired, dynomite idea: Do a project that somehow involves one of the topics covered in the course, and use something taught during the course to explain the results you observe.
How does a light bulb turn on and off?
First, to explain the on/off switch:There is an electrical wire connected to the switch. When the switch is in the [ON] position, it is called a closed circuit, when electricity can run through to power the light bulb. When the switch is in the [OFF] position, the switch stops touching the wires, and it is called an open circuit, where the circuit is broken and the electricity cannot flow.Second, light bulbs:Normal incandescent light bulbs are powered when an electric current runs through their filament. Incandescent bulbs' filaments are very thin, and when electricity runs through them they become so hot they glow bright yellow to white.How come the filaments don't burn up? That was a problem Thomas Edison came across when he tried to make incandescent light bulbs; the filaments burned up. He solved that problem by making a vacuum inside the bulb - No air means no Oxygen, and no Oxygen means no burning. (vacuum means absolutely no gas or air inside an area.) However, he had to make very thick walls for that style of bulb. Today, we fill incandescent bulbs with non-reactive gas at the same pressure as outside air, so bulb walls can be nearly paper-thin.Please rate this answer! :D
What is the two main forms of energy?
Kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy) A ball at the top of a building getting ready to be dropped has potential energy, but a ball falling has kinetic energy If the ball is at the top of the building, it has 100% potential and 0% kinetic and when it is halfway from top to bottom and falling it has 50% of each
A neon light is more similar to an incandescent light or fluorescent light and explain how too Please?
A neon light is more similar to a fluorescent light because they both glow brightly. They provided light to as you commonly know.If you have ever seen a Neon light and a fluorescent light you will probably say that they are alike.
Explain how a heat pump used to both cool and heat a building?
a heat pump contains a water filled loop of pipe that is buried to a depth where the temperature is nearly constant

Can you explain what Mecury is?
Mercury is a chemical element that is symbolized by the letters Hg and atomic number 80. Mercury is commonly used on thermometers, barometers, and fluorescent lamps.
What do you think was Pericles greatest accomplishment Explain your answer?

Theory stating that the sun contains a small amount of platinum using what you know about spectroscopy explain how i might prove or disprove this theory?
We cannot tell you how to explain a theory with what we know. You must explain it with what you know.
