and 720 B.C. The diaulos was twice the length of the stadion, in which 22 athletes ran in two lines side by side. The name diaulos actually means “Two barraled flute”, which represents the two lanes. The diaulos is same as 400-meter dash in the modern Olympic games, but now days not considered a long distance race, and only eight athletes run in one race in their own separate lane. The other long distance race dolichos covered 20 lengths, in which runners ran single file. It was the first…

converted to momentum in the projectile, with only friction acting against it). It then transfers this into angular velocity as the arm reaches a nearly vertical position and the sling pivots around the end of the arm, thus effectively doubling the length of the long end of the arm. Since the counterweight travels a smaller distance than the projectile, this causes the projectile to reach a higher velocity than the counterweight, the counterweight must be heavier than the projectile. When the…

Introduction One thing that sets us apart from other species is our determination to quench our curiosity. For centuries, scientists and philosophers have done everything in their power to explore the depths of space. And now, in this day and age we are at a point where the far fetched dreams of those before us are no longer as impossible as they seem. It excites me that in the near future I may witness incredible feats being reached in space travel. Thus, I chose to garner a better…

The endangered orcas are found in oceans everywhere both hot and humid and also cold from the icy waters of the North and South poles to sultry seas. The killer whale is the most cosmically huge member of the dolphin family, and there are about 5 various species of orcas in the oceans. These amazing creatures hunt in pods that consist of 6 to 40 killer whales. They hunt for gigantic fish, seal, and sea lion and frequently seabirds and mammals. The orca’s top speed is approximately 30 mph but can…

We have over 600 muscles in our bodies that perform a variety of functions. All muscles are made of the same tissue but within our bodies there are 3 different kinds of muscles. There are Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscles and each of these is found in different places. Cardiac muscles are in the walls of the heart, Smooth muscles are in the walls of organs, and skeletal muscles are attached to our skeletons. Cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary used whereas skeletal muscles are…

To get the maxillary angle, you lay the skull on its side on the table You then use the protractor and measure the angle made by the Nasion, Maxilla and the Socket. You then find the height, width and length of the skull using a caliper You then find the cranial captivity by Multiplying the length by width by height then you multiply by .5236 Data: Name (cm) a (cm)…

study to find out how to let students select healthier food in 2012. This study claims that the more time kids have to finish lunch, the heathier food they are determined to eat. In this study, the researchers collected the data of food choice and the length of lunch time from six schooldays throughout the country from 2011 to 2012. They found that, compared with kids who have more than 25 minutes for lunch, around 14% less kids will select a fruit when they have less than 20 minutes to eat.…

Coelacanths can grow up to 2 m in length. Their bodies are covered in blue scales, which turn brown after death, with a white speckling that is unique to each individual. Their seven fins have fleshy lobes and they move their two paired sets of fins (pectoral and pelvic) in a diagonally synchronous manner like a four-limbed terrestrial animal. Unlike all other vertebrates, coelacanths possess an intracranial joint and an associated basicranial muscle. The purpose of this structure is disputed,…

egg reaches the womb, it would 've divided into more than 100 cells. From this point the egg will be considered an embryo. The embryo at this point will implant into the womb lining. Weeks 4-5 Between weeks 4-5 the embryo will be roughly 5mm in length and its heart will begin to beat. Limbs will also begin to develop at this stage, just appearing as bumps growing from it. For these first few weeks after conception, the embryo will be gaining nourishment from a tiny yolk sac which it is…

What is the purpose of a prison? Is it to protect people from dangerous individuals, and to help bring justice to victims? Do prison serve a separate purpose other than to punish wrongdoers? For instance, is it a standard for prison to have a rehabilitation program to help prisoners integrate within society? All of these questions pose a significant concern over the status quo of the current prison system in America. Historically, America’s prison system is founded under the premise to provide…
