Setback in Minnesota During Friday night’s game against the Detroit Pistons, Minnesota’s starting point guard Zach LaVine went down hard halfway through the 3rd quarter clutching his left knee. Nevertheless LaVine managed to get up and continue playing throughout the quarter finally sitting out in the fourth. Unfortunately for the Timberwolves the Pistons pulled through and won the game 116-108, while LaVine finished with 20-4-4 on 9-13 shooting. Fast forward to Saturday, the Timberwolves…
The purpose of this lab was to analyze the impact different concentrations of bicarbonate solution had on the rate of photosynthesis in spinach disks. We derived a hypothesis that stated if the concentration of bicarbonate solution increased, the rate of photosynthesis would escalate causing the disks to rise faster to the top of the syringe. When conducting the baseline experiment using a 0.2% bicarbonate solution, the spinach disks starting rising around the ninth or tenth minute. However we…
Nikolaus Otto was a german engineer who created the first internal combustion engine and invented the four-stroke cycle, which is now called the Otto Cycle. This changed the world by providing an alternative to the steam powered engine. If Otto had not developed an engine that would run on gas we would not have cars that function so efficiently today. Little detail about Otto’s experiments and his interest with engines comes from the love letters Anna Gossi ,his long term girlfriend, wrote to…
Award. The Bulls reached 40 wins, The Bulls finished 50–32, However, the Bulls then lost in five games to the more experienced Detroit Pistons, However, the Pistons again defeated the Bulls, this time in six games, In an unusual ending to the fourth and final game, Isiah Thomas led his team off the court before the final seconds had concluded.

blocks per game with 3.16 steals per game. The Chicago Bulls finish the season with a 50W-32L, which was the first in Michael Jordan’s career. As they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games, however the Bulls lost to Detroit Pistons in five games. Detroit Pistons led by Isaih Thomas, the “Bad Boys” would always double or triple team Jordan as soon as the ball touch his fingertips. The next year Jordan continue to led the league in scoring, with 32.5 (ppg) with 53.8% scoring. The Bulls…
this goal when he invented the Double Acting Steam Engine. The original design of the steam engine used steam pressure to force the cylinder upward and atmospheric pressure to force the piston back down. In Watt's Double Acting Steam Engine, steam pressure was transferred through additional valves to force the piston both up and down, vastly increasing efficiency and…
bent twice into a rounded elongate form. There are numerous sorts of trumpet. The most common is a shifting pitched in B ♭with a tubing length of about 148 cm. Earlier heralds did not have valves, but modern instruments typically have either three piston…
maintained and managed, and if these are not controlled then injuries, some fatal could occur, for example in the following scenario; your working in the garage and you lift up a car you’re a repairing today and notice that the lift has a crack in a piston in the hydraulic lift, but continue to work without giving it a second glance, after the car…
OBJECTIVE: The pump is made of pendulum, two-leg lever and cylinder with the piston which pumps the water. Oscillation of the pendulum is maintained by periodical action of the human arm. Oscillation period of the pendulum is twice bigger than the period of the lever oscillation. Piston of the pump has reverse effect on the lever and damps its oscillation. Damping of the lever motion causes damping of the pendulum, but the work of the force damping the pendulum is less than the work of the…
Do you know what a catapult is and how it operates? A catapult is a device or technology that helps planes take off the USS Midway when the planes carry a lot of weight like fuel and weapons. Catapult on an aircraft carrier works on steam power. Catapults were chosen on aircraft carrier because they are capable of carrying a lot of weight on a takeoff. The aircraft weight is confirmed by the weight Board Operator. Catapult technology affected the Uss Midway ship because it helps planes take off…
