How To Make A Recycling Bin Websites

Garbage problems plague almost every major city worldwide. Many governments have applied measures to combat this problem. They have opened more landfills and dump sites, but for some reason, garbage keeps piling up like a never-ending cycle. Garbage has contributed to the rampant spread of various forms of pollution. At the rate it is going, trash might soon take over the planet. Something has to be done about this garbage problem and that something is called recycling.

If you are in need of a divided recycle bin you can make one easily for yourself. It just takes a few minutes and you can set up your own recycling center that doesn't look like a garbage can alley in your kitchen or designated space.Purchase a standard 35-gallon plastic latch lid storage container in a color that suits your décor and taste.The 35-gallon container is 18.63" high and 19.75" deep or in width, this allows you to know the measurement for the plywood you will need cut to slide snugly into the container.

Years ago in his neighborhood, Eric Brennan's township had a curbside recycling program. They gave them a large plastic bin and picked up most recyclables free with the local garbage. Unfortunately, politics prevented this from continuing and the funding was taken and used elsewhere in his community. He still wanted to recycle his garbage but no longer had a bin to put it in. He used a garbage can for a while, but sorting through all the mess became a nuisance. He bought my own plastic bin but it tipped easily and filled up fast.

   For construction of a plastic bin, purchase a plastic bin (approximately 10"x19"x12") with a lid. Drill two or three rows of 1/4" holes in the top, sides and bottom of the bin. Raise bin off the surface so that air can circulate underneath. This type of bin will need a tray to catch any liquid that goes through the bottom.
   For a wooden bin, a common size for a worm bin is approximately 1'x2'x3'. An old wooden box or drawer will work as a worm bin. Wooden bins breathe better than plastic and therefore do not need as many holes but you should have two rows of 1/4" holes on all sides. However, wooden bins, because they are always wet, might last only two or three years.

Finding a big, sturdy basket or storage bin is the only task that you need to complete for making your own recycling bin. If you do not have one of these in your possession, you can pick one up at your local hardware or department store. After you have your storage bin, take a marker and separate your recycling bins by writing which products goes in what bin. Ideally, you would need three bins: paper, plastic and glass. Adding a bag to the inside of your bins is an easy way to transfer your recycled products.

Roller Coaster: Task 2- Video Clip 1

I learned that most of the time the roller coasters are doing the spine-tingling stunts they are all applied solely because of gravity, potential energy, and kinetic energy. At the beginning of the ride, the roller coaster is lifted by a chain, which slowly pulls the roller coaster up the first hill, storing all the potential energy it needs. When the roller coaster gets to the top and is about to plunge down the first hill, that potential energy turns into kinetic energy.

Roller Coaster- Conclusion

• The more energy a roller coaster has at the beginning of the ride, the more successful the ride. That means it needs to begin with a lot of potential energy.
• What factor do you think affects the amount of potential energy the roller coaster will have? The height of the first hill determines the amount of potential energy
• What do you think is the safest way to "come down" from the first hill? The safest way to come down the first hill is to have a smooth, low-sloped hill
• How do you think the roller coaster should exit from the first hill? It should exit with a clean low path to carry all the momentum so it won't crash
• What do you think the height of the second hill should be? The second hill should always be low enough so that it isn't higher than the first hill but still can pass on enough kinetic energy
• What shape do you think the loop should be? (Parabola, elliptical, square...etc) the loop should be elliptical to give the passengers excitement and a faster spin so the roller coaster won't slow down and/or stop and/or crash

Roller Coaster: Task 3- part 1

• The height of my first hill was 80 meters
• the shape of the my first hill was was smoot slope
• the exit path was a low slope
• the height of my second hill was 70 meters
• My loop was elliptical that was 35 meters high
• the arrows indicate the maximum potential and kinetic energy levels

Roller Coaster: Task 1- Video Clip 3

 The max amount of potential energy is collected on the first hill of the roller coaster. That potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill, which is the max amount of kinetic energy. On a loop the potential energy is stored at the highest point, which is released at the bottom.
