High-speed rail

point where my dad saw just how bad I truly wanted this. A few years later, we finally welcomed Jack into our family. Sitting on your surfboard, looking out at the water ahead of you, you spot an oncoming wave. The perfect wave moves at a constant speed traveling approximately 7 miles per hour. I am constantly finding myself in a season of waiting. Waiting for my phone to charge. Waiting in…

Driving while Stupid Final Paper “Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a manic” (George Carlin)? Carlin describes drivers as either idiots or maniacs depending on your traveling speed. In correlation, in the articleDriving while Stupid author Dave Barry highlights bad drivers from all over the world where he has traveled. In traveling around the world, Barry describes the drivers by the use of literary devices; however,…

negotiation, disturbance rejection and turning are all examples of behavior that require modulation of walking speed which is in turn driven by transient changes in muscle activations. A few studies in recent years have explored characteristics of transient walking [1], [2], [3]. It has been suggested that control of speed works through modulation of braking and propulsive impulses and to increase speed subjects change the braking impulse more than the propulsive one [2]. However, none of these…

hands will never go down! We have used advanced technology to make you feel as if you were a real-life baseball. Our ride has an average speed of 65 m/s (meters per second). The length of the track is 2730 meters.The time of the ride is 42 seconds, which will be the best 42 seconds of your life! The ride is ranked 1st among all types of roller coaster for speed and length of track. We have tracks that reduce the amount of friction that slows the cart down. Our carts resemble baseballs, except…

As the height of the ramp increased, the speed, velocity, and acceleration also increased. In Run 1, the height of the ramp was highest at 5 textbooks. Evidence: The speed and velocity of the car in this lab are essentially the same because the total distance traveled is equal to the total displacement of the car. In Run 5, the ramp had the lowest height of one textbook. Using the slope of the position versus time graph, the speed of the car from Run 5 to Run 1 was calculated to 0.439 m/s, 0.745…

Raising the Speed Limit Some say “speed kills” but is speed really the killer? The killer is the person who is behind the wheel. Much less just because careless drivers are the cause of deaths in motor vehicles, that does not mean society should lower the speed down to an unreasonable point. In Fact we should increase the speed and let the careless drivers deal with the problems they cause and not penalize the rest. Even though driving 55 miles per hour is more fuel efficient,the speed limit…

Speed reading is traditionally looked upon highly and is seen as a great skill in the academic and professional community. There is a relationship between reading speed and retention when one holds the assumption that reading faster is better (McLaughlin, 1969; Smith, 1975). The capability of reading faster is possible but the quality of retaining the information read is variable (McLaughlin, 1969). The average person reads 200-250 words per minute (WPM) for upper intermediate grades and…

the correct amount of time to get to your destination without having to speed. Speeding is not, and never will be, the answer to getting places on time. If you have to speed to get to where you’re going, maybe you should change your plans for another day. I think people would better understand you being late rather than having somebody’s life being taken because you were in such a hurry to get somewhere that you chose to speed. I think about this everyday now, how I could have been that person…

Speeding occurs when the driver ignores the speed limit, and accelerates fast at dangerous speeds. Going past the speed limit is a crime and you can get a ticket. The consequence of speeding is that, when speeding, the faster you are going, the more time your automobile will require to do a complete full stop in case of an emergency. Driving at high speeds will most likely, cause you to crash because, the cars brake pads won’t respond quickly enough…

3.3 Straddle UMS: Basic Characteristics of Urban Rail System Good decisions about transportation investments and policies require accurate information on characteristics of Urban Rail system alternatives, including the following: • Spacing between Stations • Speed • Capacity and Body Outline • Degree of Separation from Road Traffic • Operating System • Rolling Stock • Maximum Curvature 3.3.1 Spacing between Stations Urban rail has a very close station spacing (about 50-500 m apart). It is…
