Armed forces

This law states that: “An object accelerates because a force acts on it and the stronger the force, the greater the acceleration. The acceleration will be inversely proportional to the mass of the object given the same force.” (Kingaby). Kicking a soccer ball is fairly easy, mostly because light air is inside. All the ball needs is a little tap and it begins to move. Kicking a soccer ball…

there is force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. He hypothesized this theory while in the bath. Unfortunately his theory only covered fluid mechanics and didn’t elaborate completely on force. However he was one of the first scientists to discover buoyancy and the displacement of fluids. By 17th century Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei…

Breaks are not something people take the time to think about. Even if they are fundamental to the vehicles many people use every day. The functionality of breaks is contributed to physics and engineers ability to understand that physics. There is a lot going on when people press on the brake pedal in their car. The most basic principle of brake pads is in fact friction. This friction is the thing that transfers the energy of the car moving forward to heat energy. Brakes also use pressure as a…

Stress is a very complex topic. To my understanding it is an emotion felt not only mentally but physically as well. A large straining that you endure from being under immense pressure, at times you feel there is no way out. It can come from the negativity of your peers, and almost always from your very own self-doubt. Stress to me as a student and as a worker are very separate functions. From my student side I worry about not doing well on not only one but a series of demanding tasks from all of…

Ego’s Blinders: Perspective as a Projection of Success In his article “Keywords”, Raymond Williams describes three meanings of the word ‘nature’: “(i) the essential quality and character of something, (ii) the inherent force which directs either the world or human beings or both; (iii) the material world itself, taken as including or not including human beings” (219). Different perspectives on nature and its value are present in all forms of literature. William Shakespeare’s play As You Like It…

The History of the Development of the Four Fundamental Forces Nature has a total of four fundamental forces. The forces include gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction between all masses. Every object in this universe is pulling upon other objects. Many scientists came up with logics to explain the science behind gravitational forces. The first one to try was Aristotle in around 330 BC. Aristotle believed Earth and…

The benefits of friction in sports are that it makes it easier to run, stop and turn on any sort of sport field or track (prevents us from slipping or sliding). It also helps us when we are trying to throw and catch objects because the force of friction keep the objects in our hands. Without friction in sports, it would be extremely difficult to compete against others or simply for fun. The benefits of friction in the transportation industry are that it is responsible for slowing down…

Newton's second law F=ma states the more mass the more force is required to accelerate an object, but here force is not involve only radius and speed. Therefore mass does not affect the acceleration. This is proven by the data “table 2” since acceleration remained the same for all ten difference masses. Next, changing the radius will…

When lining up your shot, try moving your body weight a little more forward than usual. This will help you to hit down on the ball and keep it out of the air. Don’t Force It: As much as you may wish you could, you cannot control the wind. However, you can control the level of risk that you take with each shot. On a par five, for example, you do not have to try to reach the green in two strokes. On a windy day, it is…

PE Coursework Strengths The sport I have chosen is football. One of my main strengths (components of fitness) in football is my speed. The definition of speed is the ability to move quickly across the ground or moving limbs rapidly to grab or throw. In football, you use your speed for e.g; When you’re attacking and you are dribbling past a defender, you can use bursts of speed to blow past him. This means I get closer to the goal and have a better chance of scoring for me and my team. Also,…
