Circumference

history and the difference between baseball and softball pitching is very different, but interesting. Baseballs come with a circumference of nine inches and softballs come with a circumference of eleven to twelve inches. The baseballs have stayed the same size over the years, the baseballs stayed at a circumference of nine inches were as softballs used to come with a circumference of seventeen inches. Softball is a variant of baseball, it is played with a larger ball on a smaller field. In…

Math is about numbers; these numbers span from positive to negative, rational to irrational and complex to imaginary. The main number that this essay will be looking at is the irrational number known as pi. Many different civilizations throughout history have had their own approximations for pi. In fact one of the first aspects in defining the number known as pi was coming up with a variable that could represent this number. Π was decided to be the variable that stuck and its origins can be…

so the scientists decided to use certain sugars, such as dextrose, maltose, and lactose being the IVs (Independent variables). The scientist’s Dependent Variable (DV) is the outcome of the experiment, in this case the dependent variable is the circumference of the balloon in centimeters. The scientists control would be the same balloons, same amount of sugar per gram, same amount of yeast per gram, same amount of time run for each…

to see if some habits have changed; this will determine the effectiveness of the intervention. Another outcome that will be measured at baseline and after 16 weeks are participants’, weight, body mass index, overall body compositions, and hip circumference. I will have professional assistance to help me with the measurements. Participants’ height will…

The Relationship between Calf Sizes, Gender, and Vertical Jumps Laura Thompson Mikaela Toler, Cassandra Jenkins, Kionna Calloway BSC 228-202 Introduction A human leg is made of many muscles that affect a person’s ability to jump. For example, the gastrocnemius, soleus, quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and abdominal muscles all help a person achieve a vertical jump. (McCollum, 2015). So, in other words, it basically takes the entire lower body to jump, not just the calf. This lab’s goal, however,…

This paper will look at the series that converge to pi, and which ones slowly converge to pi and the ones that converge to pi fast. And after looking at these different calculations of pi, I will attempt to find a series that converges to pi even faster. What lead me to do this topic was my passion for math, and curiosity of learning about series and limits to infinity. Pi is something that everybody knows as 3.14, but they have no idea how it came to be approximated as 3.14. It is a complex…

Height, weight and waist circumference of the client will need to be measured. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is used as a screening tool to find out the risk of getting cardiovascular disease. However, BMI is not applicable for children, elderly, muscular individuals and pregnant or lactating women. Waist circumference is to determine central obesity of the client. Waist to hip ratio is another measure for abdominal obesity…

Water 400 mL of Corn Syrup Graduated Cylinder---500 mL Raw Egg in Shell Ruler Masking Tape Permanent Marker Paper Towels Procedure 1)Look at the raw egg, and study the appearance of the eggshell. 2)Take measurements of its mass and circumference. Record your information in a data table. 3)Use a graduated cylinder to measure 400mL of vinegar. Pour the vinegar into your cup. 4)Place the raw egg into the cup with vinegar. It should be covered. 5) Leave the egg undisturbed for 24…

Introduction Some people believe that we have only one type of muscle in our bodies that help us with all different types of tasks, however; not only do our bodies have different muscle types, they also contain different muscle fibers that are used for different activities. Skeletal muscle contain three types of muscle fibers: slow twitch, fast twitch oxidative, and fast twitch glycolytic. Most muscles in our bodies have different combinations of these muscle fibers, although our body recruits…

LTPA was measured by frequency measure similar to that used by Mäkinen, Borodulin, Laatikainen, Fogelholm and Prättälä (2009). The stem: “During a regular week before the military service, how often do you exercise at least 30 minutes so that you sweat and get out of breath?” was followed by seven options response scale that was collapsed into four categories: Not at all to once a month = 1, 2–4 times/month = 2, 2–3 times/ week = 3, 4–7 times/week = 4. Eating was measured by a 36-item food…
