In this website it explains about all of the components  and  tools we use to make those components. It also gives lessons to beginners. The lessons are based on Electric Circuits like AC (Alternating Current), DC (Direct Current),

Reference,and Experiment.

This website is helpful to me because it has all the information for my topic. i’ll give an example it gives me for basic concept of electricity. (This website I have is the one that has the information I am using as an example)

It was discovered centuries ago that certain types of materials would mysteriously attract one another after being rubbed together. For example: after rubbing a piece of silk against a piece of glass, the silk and glass would tend to stick together. Indeed, there was an attractive force that could be demonstrated even when the two materials were separated:

Glass and silk aren’t the only materials known to behave like this. Anyone who has ever brushed up against a latex balloon only to find that it tries to stick to them has experienced this same phenomenon. Paraffin wax and wool cloth are another pair of materials early experimenters recognized as manifesting attractive forces after being rubbed together:

This phenomenon became even more interesting when it was discovered that identical materials, after having been rubbed with their respective cloths, always repelled each other:

It was also noted that when a piece of glass rubbed with silk was exposed to a piece of wax rubbed with wool, the two materials would attract one another:

Furthermore, it was found that any material demonstrating properties of attraction or repulsion after being rubbed could be classed into one of two distinct categories: attracted to glass and repelled by wax, or repelled by glass and attracted to wax. It was either one or the other: there were no materials found that would be attracted to or repelled by both glass and wax, or that reacted to one without reacting to the other.

More attention was directed toward the pieces of cloth used to do the rubbing. It was discovered that after rubbing two pieces of glass with two pieces of silk cloth, not only did the glass pieces repel each other, but so did the cloths. The same phenomenon held for the pieces of wool used to rub the wax:

Now, this was really strange to witness. After all, none of these objects were visibly altered by the rubbing, yet they definitely behaved differently than before they were rubbed. Whatever change took place to make these materials attract or repel one another was invisible.

This was very helpful for providing the information I needed also there is a studying for electronics textbook in it https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/

Module One Post Five (Bridge types and forces)

This youtube video explains clearly the different types of bridges and forces. There are two forces, tension and compression. Different types of materials are best for withstanding each forces. There are a variety of different types of bridges, and each one corresponds to the forces differently. Depending on the shape of the bridge, certain materials are the best. It also displayed a diagram for where tension and compression are on a truss bridge. From this video I learned the physics in bridge building. I think this will be a good foundation for building my own bridge.

Module One Post Three (Salvador Dali)

(My own presentation I made on prezi)

Salvador Dalí was born on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Spain.He would eventually go on to study at an academy in Madrid. In the 1920s he went to Paris and began interacting with artists such as Picasso, Magritte, and Miro, which led to Dalí’s first Surrealist phase. His best known paintinig was created in 1931 it was called The Persistence of Memory (the one with the melting clocks). Dalí died in Figueres in 1989. Salvador Dali use dmany mathematical devices in his art (most surrealist artists used these math devices) like the Golden ratio,measurement, and ratios.

they’re many mathematical devices in art like ratios, ratios are used in poportions of objects or even mixing paints to get a specific colour ratiosare used a lot in art.

 

Module One Post Four(Calculating average velocity or speed)

                                    Calculating average velocity or speed

This video on khan academy show how to calculate two dimensional velocity or speed. It is basically calculating the average speed over a time period. For velocity, you just have to add the direction the object is moving. It might help me in calculating velocity for my project because I’d like to further explore physics – the study of matter in and its motion and behavior through time and space.

Module One Post Three (Energy transformation on a roller coaster)

                                   Energy transformation on a roller coaster

This website shows the physics in of work and energy in roller coasters. It is helpful because it helps me understand how a roller coaster works. Roller coasters don’t have any engine in them, and they usually only depend on the first propeller in the track. There is usually a motor or a lifting chain at the the beginning of the track. When the roller coaster gains height, it gains potential energy, which is the amount of energy stored in an object due to position. For example, a heavy ball at the top of hill has potential energy because if it falls, their will be a lot of energy in the fall. When the roller coaster falls down the hill, it will lose potential energy and gain kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When the roller coaster goes up a hill, it will lose kinetic energy and gain potential energy. Mathematical equation can be used to calculate how much kinetic energy there are. This process is shown on the diagram below.

Module One Post 2 (M.C Escher: A mathematical artist)

http://www.mathaware.org/mam/03/essay3.html

PART 2

Famous artist M.C. Escher was born June 17, 1898 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. M.C. Escher created an art style that played with orientation and space. Later embraced  by both artistic and math/sciene communities.M.C. Escher died march 27th 1972.

M.C. Escher’s art often was perspective art and he used lots of math related techniques like the golden ratio, and using diagonal lines to create a perspective.

personally M.C. Escher is one of my top 3 favourite 20th century artists the other two being Salvador Dali and Keith Haring

module one post five

this website tells me how big of a different in mileage a super big motor to a small motor is. this will helping me compare the amount of gas a 4 stroke motor burns compared to a 2 stroke.this have also included many thing in how the motors are so different and how the different ‘s of the motors might effect on how much gas each of the motors can burn. I think this will help me in many ways and will come in handy when we start to construct our project.

 

This is the website

module one post four

this website tells me how long it take for a full tank of gas to run of. this will help me by letting me compare between a electric engine and a gas. this website actually taught me it all depends on the motor because if you have a small electric motor and a big gas motor obviously the big one will stop working first.overall i think this website will be extremely important to my project in the long run.

 

this is the website 

module one post three

this website gives me information about how much a electric motor burns electricity and how quick it runs out of juice/electricity. this will help me by helping me calculate how fast a electric engine will run out so i can compare with a gas. this website have taught me a lot about the differences between how much a gas powered motor and an electric motor.this website was very helpful to read and it just got me one step closer to knowing what Im doing.

 

This my website 

module one post two

this website tells me the difference between a gas engine and a electric motor.this will help me in my project by telling me how much electricity it uses in a regular ride and how much a gas motor burns on a regular ride. In this website a regular ride is two km by the last paragraph of the website it says the gas motor would obviously last longer because electricity burns faster than gas but at the same time your polluting with a gas motor so whose really lasting longer. I think this will be and great help in my project and be a great website to look further on.
