In chapter 5, students are introduced to the kinematic equations describing an object undergoing a constant acceleration. Students are asked to write code simulating the flight of a projectile over level ground and sloping...
Data from this archival document show how widely dispersed Spanish youth were by 1944. Starting in 1941, they were evacuated and sent to work in factories in southern and central USSR. When compared the following graph, we can...
In chapter 6, students are introduced to the idea of a central force, the idea of a instantaneous acceleration (as opposed to average acceleration) and using the Euler method to determine the position and velocity of the...
In chapter 7, students are introduced to the concepts of center of mass, the impulse-momentum theorem, and conservation of energy. This is done by considering a binary star system, mass-spring system, and scattering in the...
During the war, Spanish youth had been evacuated far away from the frontlines. In 1945, they too, like the children, were relocated en masse to the Moscow region.
At age fourteen or completion of seventh grade, Soviet youth entered the workforce or higher education. This pie chart represents the trajectory of Spanish youth. Note that the vast majority entered factory production or...
In chapter 8, students consider again the motion of a comet around the Sun, but now consider torque and angular momentum. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is introduced, as well as the cross product and how to code it in...
This graph represents different life paths for Spanish youth. Although the USSR was supposed to promote gender equality, we can see some divergence, particularly in youth going to factory and trade schools. Unfortunately, the...
In chapter 9, students are introduced to the concept of Gravitational Assist, which is used to send probes to the outer planets and out of the solar system. Frames of reference are considered, as well as the energy of the probe...
This document provides a conclusion to VPython for Introductory Mechanics by Windsor A. Morgan and Lars Q. English. It includes the book’s bibliography as well as information about the authors.
The eukaryotic bZIP transcription factors are critical players in organismal response to environmental challenges. In fungi, the production of secondary metabolites (SMs) is hypothesized as one of the responses to environmental...
Cayo Cochino Pequeño (CCP) is a western Caribbean island with a surface area of only 0.64 km2 in the Cayos Cochinos Archipelago, Department of Islas de la Bahía, Honduras. It is relatively ecologically complex, with high...
Fetuses of many species, including humans, breathe during development. This fetal breathing aids in lung development, strengthens respiratory muscles, and is posited to fine-tune the neural circuitry that drives breathing....
