Motion

Biomechanics refers to the “study of the action of external and internal forces on the living body, especially on the skeletal system” (Dictionary.com, 2015). By using biomechanics we can examine and find ways to successfully enhance performance, develop exercise programs and modify sporting techniques (Swedan, 2013). This paper will be analyzing and evaluating the athletic event of high jump. Biomechanics will be applied to critically examine the techniques used in high jump and improve upon…

1. How do you adjust the pulling force of the mousetrap? Adjusting the length of the snapper will change the pulling force—making something move as it goes in a certain direction. Making the snapper on the mousetrap longer will decrease the pulling force and a shorter snapper will increase it.…

In this big gigantic world of ours, math is everywhere. It surrounds us. Whether you like it or not, math actually makes our world very functional place. Without it, it would probably be very chaotic. It helps us when we’re dealing with money, school, and work and just about anything that you can think of. But who came up with this “math” thing? Lots of people helped contribute to the discovery of it. It wasn’t just one person. Like Isaac Newton, a very influential scientist, and indeed…

1. The following events related to untochable force: (1) coconuts falling from the tree to the ground (2) Attract magnetic iron plates (3) footwear be worn after long use (4) Budi push the beam to shift to the right The above events involving untouchable force is the number of events .... a. 1 and 2 b. 1 and 3 c. 2 and 4 d. 4 2. Amir and Badu are playing tug of war. Amir pull to the left with a force of 200 N while Badu pull to the right by the force of 350 N. resultant force generated is ....…

Welcome to the Loop-Dy-Loop!!! This roller coaster is found in the beautiful area of Hersheypark inside the water park. The roller coaster, is filled with many twists, turns, and loops. This roller coaster is not just any roller coaster, it has a fabulous view of the whole park. The tallest point on this ride, where you feel the highest potential energy, is over 4,586 feet tall. This ride is over four football fields long!! While you are waiting in line you can see that the cars have three rows…

There is many differences between today’s generation and the sixties generation. David Pichaske’s book titled Generation in Motion: Popular Music and Culture in the Sixties, outline the views of the sixties and how they voiced those views. In the sixties music was the expression of the generation, today I can say that hasn’t changed much. Music today also expresses the political events and views, but also social media is very popular for expression of political views. Today our culture…

Our Rube Goldberg machine used several physics concepts in order to complete its simple task, which was to turn on a Roomba. One of the most prominent physics concepts within our project was gravity and/or gravitational potential energy, which could be seen in places such as the inclined planes and the hammer swinging down. Gravity was the downward-pulling force that allowed the energy to be transferred from the top level, to the Roomba on the floor. The toppling rule was another major concept…

bouncy balls have very high elasticity, meaning they rapidly return to their resting state after being stretched or squashed. If a bouncy ball is dropped onto a hard surface, it flattens some as it contacts the surface, and the kinetic energy of its motion is converted into potential energy. This is very similar to the potential energy stored in a spring that gets compressed; once it is released, it pushes out with…

On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals is a book written by William Harvey in 1628. The work was written in England. William Harvey studying the movement of the blood and the heart through observation on an animals. He compares the heart of an animal to the sun of their microcosm. Harvey outlines that the arteries and the veins contain the same blood in animals, and not blood from two separate sources as assumed by Galen. The document was written in 1628. It was written to Prince…

important in astronomy. (3 pts) Kepler’s Three Laws that everything orbits the sun. The first law is that everything orbits the sun, all the planets orbit in the ecliptic of the sun which clear up a lot of the problems with the tycho model in retrograde motion. Ellipses. The second law is equal areas in equal times. Equal Areas. And the third law is the mathematical relationship equating distance from the sun, average distance from the planet to the sun, to the amount of time it takes that…
