I support the funding of the particle collider research. With this research, the ACE experiment has made advances in cancer treatment. This is helpful for specific types of cancer because the protons can reach the specific spots in your brain or spine. It is also helpful in children treatments because since cancer comes in all shapes and sizes, the antiproton therapy can direct the beam to be in a specific shape and target just that area of cancer instead of damaging other cells. This treatment is very effective because it deposits most of the energy at the precise depth in human tissue and can target specific places. Overall this one experiment involved in the particle collider research is important in advances in cancer treatment and is needed to aid patients and improve their condition. This research is important.

The problem that we were trying to solve was how fast cars were driving down cooper road. In order to figure this out, we had to take measurements and calculate the speed. With these calculations the police department will be able to prevent people from speeding in front of the school.
Procedure:
- Measure the distance between the two telephone poles.
- Made two people stand at the first pole and have both time when a car passed by
- We had a person at the second pole alerting us when the car we were timing had passed our end point.
- We also had someone writing down the description of the car we timed in a table and also recording the time that the car took to pass the end point.
- After we did theses steps for one car, we repeated them for 9 more.

In our studies, we found that none of the cars we timed were speeding and the majority of them were going under the speed limit. The speed limit was 15.6 m/s and on average the cars were traveling at 12.5 m/s. If we were to do this experiment again, we would have the people standing further away from the sidewalk so the cars travel at their usual speed and don’t slow down because they see kids. Also, we would have more people in the group so that we could have two people timing at the first pole, one person recording the speeds that they timed, another person alerting the second group of people at the second pole which car the team was recording, another recording the make and model of each car timed and a last teammate at the second pole telling the timers when to stop. Our results were similar to our instructors. As we calculated, most of his speeds were under the speed limit of 15.6 m/s. Only one car went over the speed limit.
There is not a speeding problem on Cooper Road. All of the cars were going at least 2 m/s under the speed limit. As seen on the graph, no cars traveled over 13.5 m/s, which is under the speed limit of 15.6 m/s. Overall, we discovered that the majority of the cars that drive along Cooper Road maintain a safe speed limit.

Th zoo is a great place since animals are so amazing!

Interesting that you know your going to Puerto Rico this year! Maybe now i know too! Im excited to be able to play volleyball with you this season jac!

I am excited to not only be playing volleyball with you this season but to be able to be in your physics class as well!

My name is Mandy, and I am a physics student. I have a passion for volleyball and play basketball as well. I love animals, especially dogs, and hope to own pets when I'm older. I also love helping people and exercise, which is why my goal is to become a physical therapist.
I am in physics not only to fill up my classes, but also to learn previously about how things work in his world before i have to in college. I know that physics is helpful to many majors in college. This year i hope to learn about levers and pulleys and understand more about the little unseen things in this world. I am excited to see what this year in physics brings.

what about the other important benefits that the treatment can provide, like for cancer treatment
