The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.
Answer:

3.Atmosphere
4.Lightening
5.Biosphere
6.Blue
7.Dolphins
8.Hydrosphere
9.Ice Caps
10.Lithosphere
11.Latitude
12.Longitude
Explanation:
The invisible field that protect us from solar radiation is called Magnetosphere.
This protective field is created by movement between solid inner core and earth's Liquid outer core.
The layer of gases is called atmosphere.
In addition to wind , rain , lightening is observed on stormy night.
Because of water earth looks Blue.
Dolphins are just one of the animals that calls the hydrosphere, its home.
Ice caps in the north and south poles.
Rocky layer of solid earth is part of Lithosphere.
Look for the latitude first ,horizontal line ...
In order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent,
the attractive forces between solute particles and the solvent particles must
be stronger than the attractive forces between solute-solute and
solvent-solvent particles. This is important so that the solute will remain in
solution.
