The differences between barefoot and shod running Introduction: Humans have the ability to perform various movements, such as jumping, walking, running, etc. However, tend not to think the essentials of movement as they are not applying the mechanisms that allow them to move from one place to another. The amount of energy required to walk at a comfortable place is very small in comparison with other activities (Everett and Kell, 2010). The study of De Wit et al, (2000) concluded that,…
Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to help students gain a better understanding of physical concepts such as work (which occurs when an applied force moves an object.) torque (defined as a twisting force), energy and rotational inertia (an object's resistance to rotation). Experimental Design: My group’s testable question throughout the mousetrap car experiment was: If we add and subtract factors such as material, weight and shape, from the wheels of our car, how will it affect the…
There are many famous and influential mathematicians that have done many wondrous and extraordinary things, some of these range it Einstein, newton and to pascal. But one interesting one in particular is Pythagoras. Pythagoras is one of the many famous mathematicians that has lived on the earth. What he did in math helped shape math to what it is today. Some things he did was learn math and science as much as he could, create the useful Pythagoreanism, and help progress the advancement of…
The crash box is the car component that is attached at each end of a car’s bumper and its function is to absorb the energy produced during collision or impact. Chapter 1 describes briefly on crash boxes and their characteristics. As mentioned earlier in Chapter 1, crash boxes are designed with or without patterns. Each one of the designs have different energy absorbing characteristic depending on the design and its patterns, shape, size, etc. Most crash boxes are designed with several grooves…
AIM OF THE PRACTICAL The aim of this practical was to investigate the reality or the accuracy of the formula for the resultant force on and the position of the centre of pressure on a vertical rectangular surface. SKETCH OF APPARATUS Counterbalance weight Balance pan(with 20g mass piece) Flat/curved surface(as shown below) Water Beaker Mass pieces(20g each) SUMMARY OF THEORY Hydrostatic force is the force exerted by the…
Most people imagine time as a constant. Physicist Albert Einstein illustrated that time is an illusion that it is relative which it can differ for different observers depending on the speed through space. To Einstein, time is a fourth dimension and space is described as a three-dimensional field, which provides a traveler with coordinates such as length, height and width showing location. Time provides one more coordinate direction although conventionally, it only moves forward. Time…
After four hundred years of its invention, it became an important scientific instrument, a symbol of science. All through the 400 years history, this invention changed our view of the universe, our thoughts, societies and even our thoughts. This incredible scientific instrument has been built by the famous astronomer and philosopher from Pisa, Galileo Galilei. This invention can make far objects appear closer when viewed through one end of its long pipe. It was a telescope. The telescope’s…
ROLE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AND BEER LAMBERT’S LAW Electromagnetic radiation Electromagnetic radiatio :– it is a form of energy whose behavior is described by the properties of particles and wave. Few properties of electromagnetic radiation for eg. Its refraction when it passes from one medium to another are explained best by describing light as a wave. Some other properties such as emission and absorption are better explained by treating light as a particle. The correct or exact nature…
II. 2. Hydraulic Jump 2.2.1. purpose 1. to create/generate hydraulic jump 2. To clarify questions about the fluid flow. 3. To determine the slatrility and characteristics of hydraulic jump, performed in the laboratory using impulse momentum and energy equations are specific. 4. to compare between the depth of flow measurements and the results of the theory. 2.2.2. Basic Theory A hydraulic jump occurs when the flow of the flow at a high speed exposure at a low-speed flow that occurs at the…
