Parachutes






           
    Have you ever wondered how a parachute works? Well, let me explain it for you. Air causes friction on the parachute witch slows it down to lower constant velocity. Otherwise known as terminal velocity. The parachute that we did was made of a single plastic bag that we cut in half and put string on all four of the corners. Our parachute fell with the time of 2.9 seconds and an animal with no parachute landed with the time of 1.1 seconds. So clearly, with the parachute, the object that is suspended by a parachute fell a lot more slowly than the animal wth out a parachute.

Trump and the Supreme Court






           This past Tuesday Trump filled one of the most important positions in he supreme court, the Judge. Neil Gorsuch was the man that Trump elected for supreme court nominee. I personally think that Trump made a good choice for our country. I believe so because he was a well standing judge before and will continue to be so. I understand that the decision made on Tuesday of this week is one of the most important political decisions that will be made for possibly decades to come.
