experiment in which the mass of the rocket would be changed using differentiating amounts of water. To measure the height of the bottle rocket, we took rope and attached it to the girth of the liter bottle to determine how high the rocket launched in the air. We concluded our experiment to brief that the independent variable is the volume of water, and the dependent variable is the rope that was used to measure the rocket's height. The constant variable, however, is considered…

Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances (Webster). Located at the center of the nervous system is one of the body’s most important organs, the brain. The brain is an extraordinary part of your body as is it processes every thought you have, and every word you say, by sending signals through your nervous system. There are many disorders that can inhibit the brain from functioning normally, however the one thing that can be…

Have you ever wondered if there was a single ingredient that once used it would instantly increase your strength, endurance and power all at once? Well in the culture of powerlifting, there is a such ingredient that is used far and wide by all powerlifters that want to hit those high numbers during training or competitions, it is called powerlifter’s chalk. I have used powerlifting chalk several times while training because it allows me to work harder during workouts due to that fact that it…

The foot and ground exert an equal and opposite force on each other. This is known as the ground reaction force.12 The position and acceleration of the runner's center of mass regulates the direction and magnitude of the ground reaction force. For instance, a runner sprinting from a standstill. Throughout the initial phase of acceleration, the body is inclined forward and therefore the center of gravity falls in front of the contact surface. After many gait cycles, the runner reaches top speed…

The importance of Unified Command for an event such as this or any event in general is, bringing together the “Incident Commanders” of all major organizations involved in the event in order to coordinate an effective response while at the same time carrying out their own jurisdictional responsibilities. (UC) links together organizations and provides a forum for these entities to make agreeing decisions. The (UC) in this event is blending jurisdictions and agencies and non-government sections…

As defined by Corey, M.S. & Corey, G. (2014), environmental stressors are the physical aspects of a work setting or how the position is structured. As a counselor I expect to face environmental stressors in my work setting. Starting out I may be in a role where my caseload is very high. I will be required to provide quality help to all individuals. The thought of having too many clients and feeling like I am not able to effectively do my job would be a challenge. Also as part of my client…

answer this by spiking the volleyball ten times, five times in the air and five times from the ground. I will be ten feet away from the wall and I am going to measure how high it bounces after it touches the ground. I chose this topic because I love volleyball and I wanted to know which position has more force and power. My hypothesis is “If an off the ground spike is made, then it is a more powerful spike because there is more force behind it.” Scientists that study sports medicine report that…

There are so many kinds of throws in ball sports. For my science project I need to know about them so I have backup for my Hypothesis. I am testing whether a basketball goes farther using a chest pass, a push pass, an overhead pass or an underhead pass. The overhead pass has that extra flick of the wrist when your two arms are above your head. When you stop the motion to release the ball it gives a jolt to propel the ball forward.(Sarah Berton's brain). According to one source I read, this…

Stress Management in the Sandwich Generation The many responsibilities and the related stresses of individuals in the ‘Sandwich Generation’ can be devastating to an individual as well as the family. The issues with this group of people is varied and sometimes complex. The establishment of a support group will provide to them a place where the members can describe what they are going through as well as get feedback and support form others in a similar situation. Setting the Stage The sandwich…

Conclusion The initial hypothesis was rejected. The hypothesis was if the mass of the baseball bat affects the distance the baseball will go, then the heavier the bat is, the further it will travel. The average for the 283.5 gram bat was 49.2 meters. The average distance for the 396.9 gram bat was 52.29 meters. The average distance for the 595.34 gram bat was 50.84 meters. The average distance for the 708.7 gram bat was 45.5 meters. The results mean that the heavier the bat, the less distance…
