Pollack was an action painter.
His painting was meant to be about the process of the gesture; not about being abstract.

Bleh.
He started out doing picasso esque abstraction paintinges.
His famous 'drip' paintings weren't really singular paintings, but a series of paintings.
I suggest finding the movie about him.

please keep in mind i know nothing about this person, and i dont feel like researching him

The artist Jackson Pollock has been an inspiration to many abstract artists. His (inset marjor art pieces here) have shown people what can be done with (insert materials used), while still holding onto the dignity that is abstract art. Pollock will (has) wowed the world with his phenominal work and aims to continue to do so in the future, leading others in the field that is abstract art.

This would be a conclusion, as I do not know what you have for your paper. Its too hard to form arguments and a thesis without researching the material for myself.

Pollacks been dead for years!
He can't paint from the afterlife! And be more specific! He's a gestural abstractionist! He focused on the gesture of the work!
Pollack was a dark man, with a lot of issues. He got drunk one night, took out some eye candy, got into his car and crashed it; killing all three of them.

Basically the fuel is ignited and the force it generates blasting out of the fire holes in the bottom propells the rocket upwards, eventually reaching a speed of something like 28,000 kmph.

Just to correct yuou, but the Rocket lets out a force on the launch pad, and due to Newton's third law, the launch pad exerts that force back onto the rocket, propelling it up.

And just to clarify, the rocket exerts a force onto the ground, but because of the ground's much greater mass, the rocket cannot push the ground anywhere. Instead, the rocket pushes itself into the air. The rocket is also losing weight (using up its fuel), therefore it accelerates.

Actually, with the way thrust works, a rocket doesn't need the ground to propel itself forward. Thrust is awesome. The rocket continues to move in the air because of it.

Directions:Simplify(solve) each quotient. Write each answer in scientific notation

495 billion
-------------
23.9 million

I get 2.07 x10^4 as well. Just add three more zeros onto a billion, making 12 zeros, you get a trillion.

Mm, I tried some googling, but google doesn't seem to love me much, lol.

She wants to do a title page with 3 examples and the definition of aboriginal art, then a page of research about it.
