Popping An Ollie Physics Around Campus Ryan Meehan Physics 102 Spring 2017 This is a picture of me popping an ollie in the basement of Dooley Hall. An ollie is the first trick that many skaters learn, as it is the foundation for almost every other trick and can help skaters avoid obstacles such as small cracks and rocks that could ruin your day, and knees. The physics behind popping an ollie is very interesting, and after teaching my friends, and kids that I babysit how to skate…

my mousetrap arm and string have to exert enough force to get my car rolling. Lastly, Newton's third law applies to the performance of my vehicle as it explains the relationship of forces between the vehicle and the surface it must travel across. The wheels of the car push against the surface while the surface pushes back on the wheels which then allows the vehicle to push forward while friction acts in the opposite direction; gravity and normal force keep the vehicle pushing along on whatever…

What is Xican@ Indigeneity? In order to define this phrase, it is important to look at each individual term. Each word, Xican@ and Indigeneity, is complex within itself, because they contain a lot of history and require much understanding. Therefore, learning, understanding, and defining each term would give us a better comprehension of what the phrase means as a whole. That being said, the real questions are: What is Xican@? What is Indigeneity? And how do the words relate to each other?…

order to determine why golf balls have dimples, it is important to first look at the forces in the system as a whole. When a golfer hits a ball with a club, it soars through…

all started when in 1979 Micheal Porter brought another four competitive forces in “How Competitive Forces Shape the Strategy”. One of the leading electronics companies in todays worlds that features its strategy based on the Five forces is Apple. The main concern will be how does these forces apply in such a big company as Apple and how do they help to determinate the strategy for the future. Michael Porters’s five forces can easily provide us with information such as which factors will have a…

This law of motion stems off of the idea of force. Simply meaning that when you push off of something, the object that you are pushing off of is going to be pushed back due to the energy it takes to move an object. An example of this is hitting a golf ball with a club. The velocity of the ball is able to change due to the force of a golfer hitting the ball with its club. The more force a golfer uses on a ball, the faster the speed will become. Whereas a slight breeze…

Preparing yourself for any certain event, whether it be a job interview, a speech, running a marathon or a huge project for school that would make a huge reflection of your work is all about how dedicated you are. To me, hard work and dedication continuously hint to victory. Countless people lay dedication and hard work into the same groupings. Dedication assists you to get into mental and physical shape for you to push your performance to success. While I was in the military, hard work and…

normal force is _Perpendicular_______ to the weight. The cabinet has a mass of 100kg. It therefore has a normal force of __-100______ N and a friction force (on the horizontal plane) of _2.22N_ μ = 0.30  the ramp and draw a free body diagram of the cabinet in the box here: The force down the plane and normal force are components of __force diagrams__________. Before we add an applied force on the ramp, there is a force of __gravity__________ that acts against the force down the plane(…

Biomechanics refers to the “study of the action of external and internal forces on the living body, especially on the skeletal system” (Dictionary.com, 2015). By using biomechanics we can examine and find ways to successfully enhance performance, develop exercise programs and modify sporting techniques (Swedan, 2013). This paper will be analyzing and evaluating the athletic event of high jump. Biomechanics will be applied to critically examine the techniques used in high jump and improve upon…

Gloomy Mondays, thrilling Fridays, and repeat. Discovering a person’s favourite day of the week will be beneficial to the functionality of the work force. Identifying the differences between age groups, comparing and contrasting survey results to those of a study, and analyzing the history of the concept of a week can achieve this improved functionality. It is important to know that people of different ages will have different favourite days. From elementary school, throughout to high school…
