are horizontal change of direction, and rotations which are circular movements in the air to be executed by the snow-boarder at high speeds. Acceleration refers to the increase in speed of the snowboarder due to pumping as well as change in direction during the flips and rotation. Increased speeds require great accelerations, which also means that on changing direction, snowboarders are impacted by large forces which can be between 2.5-2.7 times their body mass (VideosatNSF). Thus, in the…

Body mechanics play an important role in any task you perform. Having good body mechanics is important because it keeps the body in good alignment and prevents stress of the joints, which helps to prevent conditions that can cause lower back or leg pain. For proper body mechanics you must have the “load” close to your body, trunk in an upright position, and use the muscles in the leg instead of the back (Early, 2013 pg 191).Proper body mechanics for the activity of tug of war, would be to stand…

“Joint functions are related capabilities and activities grouped together to help Joint Force Commanders integrate, synchronize, and direct joint operations.” The Sicily Campaign, known as Operation Husky, provides various examples of combined and joint functions. Although Operation Husky resulted in an important Allied victory, joint functions such as command and control (C2) proved dismal; fires were considered marginal; while maneuver was regarded as satisfactory. To illustrate this a brief…

dside America photograph archive (1972–2008), Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division. Once everyone's onboard, the cars are released and start to roll down. When they round the brow of the first hill, the force of gravity makes them hurtle energy as well. Even the rattling noise the rollercoaster makes uses up some of its energy. The cars lose more and more of their original energy the longer the ride continues, and, since the cars have no engines, there's no way of replacing it.…

Being undesirable and uncomfortable, tension tends to be avoided at all costs. Tension expresses itself through stressful conflicts and situations that one encounters throughout life. Although it may seem obvious that tension could have someone feeling confused or stuck, tension is a necessary element required for development and growth. In literary works such as Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya and Everyday Use by Alice Walker, this element of familial and inner tension are used in order to…

designed and constructed to fall safely for the attached LEGO man to survive the parachute will provide enough air resistance to counteract gravity. One reason there is science in this problem is if the parachute goes to fast and kills the LEGO man to make the parachute go slower the parachute would have to be improved. Also, if parachute would be improved based on things such as how to make the air resistance greater making the parachute slower. Another, things is if you do not have a good time…

It is amazing what we can do to our bodies to relieve stress. The hustle and bustle of our everyday lives make stress inevitable.

on the body. If one does the right exercises, they can improve their vertical highly. Firstly, vertical is something upright or perpendicular(Neilson 2835). To jump, one will “move or throw itself into or through the air”(Gove 1225). A vertical jump is to throw oneself into the air in an upright motion. When training for a higher vertical jump, one should make sure that the training fits their body type. It should not be too overpowering (Tim). If someones training is too intense, the can…

Waking up in the morning knowing that you have a corporate job working from nine to five must be the best feeling ever right? If your job requires you to stay after your eight hour shift, the time in a half pay for overtime must be nice too. Well not everybody has the luxury to say the same. As we know in the United States, most of our everyday products that we use are made overseas. Most of what we buy is from developing countries and is grown and manufactured by workers whose rights were…

Analysis/Discussion: This graph above shows that different heights does affect the speed of a shuttlecock. On the x axis, the data is the height of where the shuttlecock is dropped from, while the y axis is the average speed (m/s). The height where the shuttlecock is dropped increases, as the average speed of each height increases as well. The result of the graph is shown that the line keeps on increasing even if it is not a straight line graph. These results support my hypothesis, which states…
