Physics allows Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to be useful to those who are deemed “weaker” or “smaller” and unlikely to win, due to the understanding […]
Poetry Project – By Karolina Mastalerz-Sanchez
Poetry Project 2018 Down below is a video I created that has a poem titled: You are Your Own Home by Erin Hanson as well as music by Cinematic Orchestra. I connect the poem to myself and locations that are important to me.
Nuclear Power – Reflection
The debate on nuclear power is subject to a decision that someone must take based on whether nuclear power hurts more than it helps or helps more than it hurts.

The Magic of Light
The magic trick demonstrated in the video above only works because of lights unique characteristics. When light travels through different mediums such as glass and water, the light bends, this is called refraction. The light is both reflecting and refracting as it passes through the mediums of air, water and glass. Glass and air have […]
Wave Phenomena
Constructive Interference: Is when two crests from two different sources meet and the energies combine. Destructive Interference: Is when a crest and trough meet and the energies combined work against eachother. Standing Wave: Is when interfering waves have the same amplitude and wavelength to create a pattern that remains nearly stationary. Nodes are points that […]
Exploring Waves LAB
Pulse Wave: Is a wave that occurs by a one time disturbance or one event. Periodic Wave: Is a wave that reoccurs in specific intervals or has regularly repeating disturbances. Longitudinal Waves: Is a wave that occurs when a spring is compressed and released, the disturbance is in the same direction as which the wave […]

Newtons Laws of Motion Examples
Newtons First Law of Motion IMG_0872-s8ydia All bodies will continue in the same state of motion and direction as long as there are no unbalanced forces acting against it. This law is demonstrated in this video clip because you can see the ball going in the same direction, imagining the floor was frictionless, it would […]
