Do Women See More Than Men?

         Most of us take for granted being able to see everyday. Not only being able to register crisp and clear images, but also we can see them in color. Color is the frequency of the electromagnetic waves that are hitting an area. Colors that we can see are light frequencies that fall into the category of visible light. The highest frequency in visible light is  around 700, which we see as purple. The lowest frequency of visible light is 200, which we see as red.

        Warmer colors are associated with lower wavelengths because that is where they fall on a scale of the wave frequency to color that we perceive. On average, it takes a longer wavelength of a color for a man to perceive the same deep shade that a woman can normally see. This is most likely because in ancient time men were the hunters and needed to  be adept at seeing movement. But Females were more often the gatherers, they would need to have very good shade perception to

Force and Motion in Concerts

Force and Motion Blog  By Amadi Clemens INTRODUCTION: Do you listen to Travis Scott? If so, you know of his most recent album AstroWorld has been on tour. One of his recent shows (in Oakland, California) he performed with a roller coaster. Crazy, right? It wasn’t like a full roller coaster that you see Six Flags. It’s like the Ring of Fire at Clementon Park. His ring ties into his theme park theme! PROS AND CONS: There are pros and cons that follow this event. A pro is that it was a fresh idea. I’ve seen amusement parks and rides in music videos but never live in concert. Another pro is that it was eye-catching and entertaining.. The main idea of a concert is that it is entertaining, this is going back to the idea of fresh. A con is that it’s very dangerous. Although thrilling, what if something goes wrong? What if it breaks? What if it stops mid-way in the year and he can’t rap anymore? Mechanical service would have to come and get him and that can ruin the concert. Another con, what

Chemical complexities that causes Saturn's rings to change planet’s atmosphere

Ayad Alhazmi 10/19/2018 Chemical complexities that causes Saturn's rings to change planet’s atmosphere New discoveries are made today on Saturn's rings by the Cassini space probe. Based on data from the final orbits of NASA's Cassini space probe shows the rings of Saturn. Some of the most amazing celestial objects in the universe are far more chemically complicated than was previously understood by scientist. When the Cassini space probe first gathered the information from 2017 and the signals of Cassini took scientist a long time to retrieve the information. Also knowing the astrophysicists are still studying it is beyond my reach. I will show you a quote by a professor of physics and astronomy Thomas Cravens. "Two things surprised me. One is the chemical complexity of what was coming off the rings -- we thought it would be almost entirely water based on what we saw in the past. The second thing is the sheer quantity of it -- a lot more than we originally expected.

The Earth is a very big Magnet     Its North and South Poles are Highly Magnetic   By: Alzahraa Alrubaiey Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Earth has two geographic poles: the North Pole and the South Pole. They are the places on Earth's surface that Earth's imaginary spin axis passes through. Our planet also has two magnetic poles: the North Magnetic Pole and the South Magnetic Pole. The magnetic poles are near, but not quite in the same place as the geographic poles.   The Earth is a magnet that can interact with other magnets in this way, so the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to align with the Earth's magnetic field. Because the Earth's magnetic North Pole attracts the north ends of other magnets, it is technically the South Pole of our planet's magnetic field. A compass point north because all magnets have two poles, a north pole
