Real-Life Examples of Parabolas

Real-Life Examples of Parabolas

A parabola is a stretched U-shaped geometric form. It can be made by cross-sectioning a cone. Menaechmus determined the mathematic equation of a parabola is represented as: (y=x^2) TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read) Parabolas can be seen in nature or…

Understanding Superscripts in Chemical Formulas

Understanding Superscripts in Chemical Formulas

Basic chemical formulas mostly use chemical symbols and subscript numbers. The common water molecule, for example, contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom and is written as H2O, with the two in subscript. This basic setup, however, does not…

Understanding the Chemical Formula of Steel

When some people think of steel, they may envision a skyscraper being assembled using massive riveted beams, while other people may picture the body and engine of a classic car at a car show. Indeed, steel is present in many…

Understanding the Specific Gravity of Water

Understanding the Specific Gravity of Water

Every material object, whether liquid, solid or gas, has a characteristic density that you calculate by determining the mass of the object and the volume it occupies. The calculation results in a number of units of mass divided by units…

Ideal Plants for Science Projects

Ideal Plants for Science Projects

At some point in your science education, you’ll have an opportunity to experiment with plants. Whether that is by observing the process of germination, the path of roots in search of water, the effects of different inputs on plant growth…
