Aerodynamics

Lakoff and Johnson (1980) categorize conceptual metaphors into 3 classifications: ontological metaphors, structural metaphors and orientational metaphors. 1. Orientational metaphors Orientational metaphors, also known as spatial metaphors, are a series of metaphorical concepts which are constructed with reference to spatial orientation, which comes from people’s emotional and physical experience. The concepts are related in the following ways: up or down, in or out, front or back, on or off,…

bullets were first made, they were shot by putting powder into the barrel, then put in the bullet, then you would pull the trigger and the gun would fire(Bullet Timeline) (Henri-Gustave Delvigne). In 1861, a new design of bullet was made to be aerodynamic so people could shoot from longer ranges. In 1866, the first cartridge bullets were invented, they were useful because they loaded…

1: Did you know that Emperor Penguins can travel up to five miles per hour? They can reach these speeds using the water, their aerodynamic bodies, and strong flippers. This just one of the things that these amazing birds can accomplish. P2: The biome they live in is referred to as an Arctic Tundra, a biome made up of long freezing winters and short cool summers with the land being composed of ice (in some locations). The one we will be focusing on will be located in Antarctica. During the…

biking and running. Tri uniforms are made sleek and good for both biking and running. Tri suits are designed to wear during the whole race. They are made to improve hydrodynamics when one is swimming, help reduce drag when biking to increase the aerodynamics, and help prevent chafing when running. The suit is made to dry quickly, help wick sweat, and block the sun. It also helps take time off of one’s transitions to help one go faster and get a better time (Bettlach). People also wear a…

you a ton of money. At Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth, they have a huge selection of the T680 Kenworth at low prices, so you can get the truck you want at a price you can afford. The T680 Kenworth's PACCAR MX-13 Engine Billed as Kenworth's most aerodynamic truck, the T680 Kenworth takes fuel economy to new levels. Under the hood is the PACCAR MX-13 engine, a 12.9 Liter, 500 Horsepower pulling beast with up to 1,850 lb-ft of Torque. Made of lightweight material, a single camshaft, and…

In the Olympics, it is understood that Jamaica is known for producing the world’s fastest sprinters. This leaves people wondering what Jamaica does differently to generate these sprinters. After reading the article “A Need for Speed: Inside Jamaica’s Sprint Factory” and learning about systems perspective and biopsychosocial-spiritual influences on behavior, it is evident that there are multiple possible factors that could have contributed to the success of Jamaican sprinters. Biologically,…

College is a place for kids to find their dream. Some kids find new adventurous things while others stay on the true path that they set in their childhood. College shows kids how they will be when they grow up and how they will work. People set their mind when they begin their first semester whether they will give up and party or will try hard to achieve their dreams. When it comes to picking a college for your choice you really need to look at all of the options. For one thing you need to look…

The Wright Design The Wright Brothers didn't invent the design of the airplane. In fact, their entire plane was based on how birds fly. They made the aircraft so it would catch some heavy winds that blew. Plus, they needed light weight materials so the plane wouldn't fall from the sky. But they did tweak it so it could be controlled. That's where the engine and propellers come in. They launch the craft's thrust. Their plane has a very unique design. Nevertheless,their plane was…

Car Evolution Automobiles went to the cars we have now but how? Car evolution has changed over time and has had an impact on society. Karl Benz was born November 25, 1844-April 4, 1929. He had 5 children and a wife. She helped him with his car invention. He became famous for inventing the first automobile model-T in 1885. This powerful machine was called the Benz Patent- Motorwagen. He had help from Ford Motor Company but everyone only gave Karl the credit of the invention. This became the new…
