Global warming is an issue that plagues the general public's mind's daily. By definition global warming is the gradual increase in the temperature of Earths climate. This statement brings up some questions of how, and why it is actually happening. NASA did a thorough breakdown of  Global Warming  that analyzes its effects and causes. Evidence : ( https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7159 ) One of the best pieces of evidence regarding global warming is the rapid rise of the sea level due to ice loss in the Arctics and Antarctica. Research conducted by NASA and the European Space Agency shows the magnitude of the ice loss, stating that ice loss in Antarctica has tripled since 2012 causing sea levels to rise at a rate faster than any time in the past 25 years. Comparing the rate of ice loss to that prior to 2012, it tripled from 83.8 billion tons a year to 241.4 billion tons a year. Meaning the threat of flooding during destructive storms is increase...

What is weightlessness? The concept of being weightless is a tricky subject. Many misconceptions can alter someones perception of the topic. One misconception being that weightlessness is the lack of weight. This is wrong because in physics we see weight as the normal force acting on an object (the force the ground is exerting against the object), meaning unless there is literally no gravity, an object is technically not "weightless". This means the only way an object could experience weightlessness is if the acceleration of an object and the the affect of gravity on the object are 0. Meaning an object in free fall is technically experiencing weightlessness which inadvertently shows how astronauts on space stations are technically in constant free fall towards the planets they are orbiting.  Using Newtons 2nd Law we can conceptualize this with the gravity constant close to earth.  ΣF=ma N - mg = m(-9.8m/s^2) N = m(9.8 m/s^2) -  m(9.8m/s^2) N = 0...

Infinity War is no doubt a fantastic super hero movie. Between the entertaining fight sequences and the engaging story the movie was extremely entertaining. Aside from all its upsides it lacked in solid physics and some of Newtons Laws are explicitly broken throughout the movie in multiple scenes. Scene 1: In the movies last climactic fight sequence on Wakanda multiple laws are broken. The first law broken is newtons third law, which is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This scene being one for comedic relief where Bruce Banner (The Hulk) is in the Hulk Buster Iron suit and is running across the main battle field and trips. This scene breaks newtons third law because every time Bruce stomps he doesn't leave an imprint in the ground. This is a violation because the suit is massive and has to presumably have enough force to rival that of the Hulks, which means each time the suit pushes off the ground the same amount of force applied from the ground to ...
