Mass hysteria

The instability of the roller coaster creates a spring constant. This means that as the car travels through the roller coaster, it loses energy because the track shakes and moves. For example, when viewing the videos it became apparent that when the car entered the loop, the track shook violently making it difficult to determine when the car reached each location. As the car went through the track, going up into the loops it grew in height, decreasing in kinetic energy while increasing in…

In this world all of us have different views on activities, food, and a number more. There are various activities, like snow sports. When choosing a snow sport, a person needs to know the difference between snowboarding and skiing. First, a person needs to know the difference in the learning curve involved in snowboarding and skiing. Skiing is probably the harder one to master. In skiing, a person can clock at least 80 miles an hour on a head wall(this is the steep face of a hill; also it is a…

the hanging mass to fall a known distance that can be determined experimentally? (as seen in Figure 1) Before beginning to attempt to answer the question, the lab had to be set up correctly. First, the rotating object was set tangent to the hanging mass. Once the hanging mass was released from rest, the rotating object began moving in the clockwise direction. The weights placed on the rotating object would also affect the time for the hanging mass to hit the floor.The greater the mass, the less…

would be the surface of earth. Then to find out how far away from the Earths surface area you would have to be to be 1/16 of your weight you would multiply the surface area by 16 and get 8,235,496,645 km away. • The sun’s mass is about 2.7 x 107 times greater than the moon’s mass. The sun is about 400 times farther from Earth than the moon. How does the gravitational force exerted on Earth by the sun compare with the gravitational force exerted on Earth by the…

As mentioned before, pitching requires several joints and muscles. Shoulder and elbow are two of the joints that are involved in the movement. Of the six phases of pitching, arm cocking, acceleration and deceleration are the three phases when elbow and shoulder joints experience high magnitudes of forces (Oyama 83). Windup is the phase that occurs when the pitcher places the non-throwing hand is in front of the target. In the beginning of the arm cocking phase, the non-throwing shoulder is…

explain the definitions of each concept, so readers will be able to get real meaning as to why these concepts consist of cheer leading. Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account. Therefore, cheerleading involves the force of gravity, because of the stunts, the tumbling, and the jumps.…

Forces are extremely important in a roller coaster, as they create the different sensations throughout the ride, and also help to hold you in your seat for safety. Forces on a roller coaster are measured in g's, which is how to measure gravity on the ride. The change of g's in different situations is what creates the different feelings and thrills you get on the coaster. When our marble is released at the top of the initial hill, energy is transferred from potential energy to kinetic energy.…

Differences in thermoregulation patterns observed in the Monarch Butterfly, Danaus plexippus Many Lepidoptera species thermo-regulate using several patterns, physical and behavioral. These patterns are usually observed as movements from the shade and cooler areas to a place exposed to the sun as well as utilizing mechanical flight to generate heat. However, some species have intermediate behavioral patterns, often a mixture of basking and heat production, also known as endothermy (Kingsolver…

Have you ever needed to do a certain simple task, but wished there was a machine to do it for you? The purpose of a Rube Goldberg machine is to create a complicated system in order to complete a tiny, simple task. What is a Rube Goldberg machine you may ask? A Rube Goldberg machine is an over- engineered contraption that uses a chain reaction to accomplish simple tasks such as turning on the music, pouring a glass of water, etc. This specific Rube Goldberg machine’s task is to move the last…

I visited the Saint Williams Catholic Community in Shelbyville, TN, on March 5th at the 9:00 bilingual mass. I chose this experience because I have had several Spanish speaking students' in the Pre-K program that I am currently an assistant teacher for. I wanted to better understand the culture of my students, outside of an environment where I am deemed to be dominant. I also wanted to see how different the Catholic church setting is from what I am use to. I have passed this…
