On Sunday, September 27, 2015 around 7:00pm, my life was changed. That Sunday, I went to a Drag Show at Rick’s Café. It was such amazing experience for me. I have never seen a drag show before, but always wanted to see one. I was really excited when I saw a posting about it in MSU Spectrum Facebook group. Also, my friend told me about it, and he really wanted to go to the show but not by himself. Of course, I was game to go to the show with him. When I walked into Rick’s Café, it seemed like…
There have been many research studies on the topic of LGBT characters in media, but I decided to make my study unique by studying how they are understood by a certain cultural group. I chose Japanese Americans because Japan and America have very contrasting views and distinct understanding on the LGBT community in society. With this, my audience based research question was the following: how are Mitch and Cam understood by the Japanese American community? To answer the question I created, I…

The Physics of Bird Flight The Factors Affecting Bird Flight Biology of Bird Flight Experimentation: Velocity and Maneuvering Air Drag & Angular Momentum Work Calculations Error Calculation Theoretical Calculations Conclusion Bibliography Explaining Flight 1.1: The Physics of Bird Flight: Components: I. Drag: (Air Resistance) The force opposite to the force of the motion of an object through a fluid. (Fluid in this report refers to the medium…
Paper planes that are folded for long distance usually stays in the air for a long time because they have a lot of lift but little thrust, but they are meant to be thrown with a lot of force. Unlike paper airplanes, darts don’t have a lot of lift nor drag because they depend on extra thrust to overcome gravity. Also another way balance can affect the plane's flight is by having different weight on opposite sides. For instance, more weight on the back with have more lift but will land sooner than…
The T-41 (i.e., the military version of the Cessna 172) had a "simple mechanical" flight control system using direct mechanical linkages. Direct feedback of forces acting on the control surfaces to the control stick (or yoke) provided a natural feel. The feedback was by the "seat of the pants". The trim system was a mechanical linkage connected directly to a trim control wheel in the cockpit. There is no warning in the T-41 if the trim was set incorrectly. It is the pilot’s responsibility…

Specify the sources (causes) of friction. The causes of friction in this lab come from three different sources. One is the string sliding over the pulley wheel. Another is the pulley wheel turning on its axle. Also, the string sliding through the hole; all these cause friction in our experiment. Glider on Frictionless Air Track Lab The acceleration of the glider can be calculated by tracking the speed as it passes through the two photogates. On the frictionless air track a glider is placed on…
Communication and Collaboration Information, Media and Technology Literacy Thinking Flexibly Thinking Interdependently Drag: air resistance that slows and object down. Drag is an opposing force of motion. Gravity: a force that pulls objects together, and the reason things on Earth fall down instead of up. Weight: (the gravitational force) the force of gravity pulling an object down. Lift: the…
