When a ball is kicked at its side it begins to spin around in its place according to the location of the kick. If it is kicked at the side and a bit towards the bottom the ball rises up in the air while spinning on its own axis. In the beginning it will fly exactly in the direction of the kick, and as it slows down due to friction with the air, the spinning motion will cause the air on one side to move faster than that on the other side and because of the Magnus effect the ball will then change…

My Ted-Talk I am 5’8”, weigh 130 pounds, and have a BMI of 19.5, the healthy range being from 18.5 to 24.0. My freshman year I was 5’8”, 140 pounds, and had a BMI of 21.3, still within the healthy range. In reality these numbers really tell you nothing about my health practices now, and my health practices then. My health practices today include clean-eating, vegetarianism, running cross country, and frequent gym visits. Just knowing my weight however, does not reveal any of this. I have enough…

Introduction In this lab, we are measuring the ranges R of the ball as the function of the heights, H, that the ball is dropped from. I will use these data to determined the relationship between the height and the range. Procedure We divided this experiment into three parts. In the part one, the object was to observe the scatter in data. To do this, we set up the equipment: the bounce plate is 20 cm above the table ,the drop plate 20 cm above the bounce plate, a piece of carbon paper…

Specify the sources (causes) of friction. The causes of friction in this lab come from three different sources. One is the string sliding over the pulley wheel. Another is the pulley wheel turning on its axle. Also, the string sliding through the hole; all these cause friction in our experiment. Glider on Frictionless Air Track Lab The acceleration of the glider can be calculated by tracking the speed as it passes through the two photogates. On the frictionless air track a glider is placed on…

INTRODUCTION The causes of mass incarceration, a term used to describe rapid the growth of the United States’ imprisoned population from the early 1970’s until the present day, have been a topic of great debate in recent times. The National Research Council reports that the United States’ penal population of approximately 2.2 million adults, at a rate of 716 prisoners per 100,000 citizens, is the largest in the world. This is an astounding increase from the early 1970s where the rate of…

Anorexia is a disorder that means people won 't eat for days to the point where they almost die because they psychologically believe that their fat. Many people in the world that have this…

My Struggle with Weight and Body Image Although I have always been considered small, my weight has always fluctuated beyond what is considered to be in the normal range of 1 to 2 pounds. The heaviest I have ever been is 123 pounds and I hit that as a freshman in college, unlike most individuals, I was my second heaviest as a freshman in high school. As a three sport athlete I ate whatever I wanted thinking that I could burn it off on the field and being bigger, muscle-wise was better. At the…

“Go ahead and judge me by my weight or my personality, but only I know the truth” (Lina Sultani). Girls today are judged by their physical looks, and for most people now a days it doesn 't matter if women are fat or skinny because they will either be too fat or too skinny. It is just sickening how people can have these kinds of standards towards women 's weight but the matter of fact is that people and society will always have these judgements towards our beautiful women! Being comfortable in…

It begins with a couple of pedal strokes. Round and Round the wheels turn and your off like a shot. Sounds straightforward? Traveling across rural scenery. I love it. Edinburgh should be called the Happy Trails city once you get away out of the city there are a million of places to run, walk, hike or bike. I go mountain biking every Monday night with the club. For the first 5 minutes my muscles burn, it feels like I am dragging myself through mud and being stewed alive all at the same time. Then…

1.1 Power Flow Theory Power, as we know, consists of two components, active and reactive power. The total sum of active and reactive power is called as apparent power. 1.1.1 Active Power “Power is a measure of energy per unit time. Power therefore gives the rate of energy consumption or production. The units for power are generally watts (W). For example, the watt rating of an appliance gives the rate at which it uses energy. The total amount of energy consumed by this appliance is the wattage…
