Ride

Introduction The ride comfort concept sweeps over many disciplines in automotive engineering. The vehicle parameters such as suspension spring stiffness and damping coefficient, the temperature control inside the cabin, the ergonomics of the car and many other factors contribute to this quality. When vehicles travel on the irregular roads, they are always subjected to excitation from braking, acceleration and inertial forces on a curved track, which causes discomfort to the driver. The…

remember going to castle n coasters when I was younger and seeing it as the most wonderful place ever. Seeing all of the rides and thinking that it was going to be the best day of my life. Getting in line and hearing the loud noise of the rollercoaster go by. I was so scared to get on the big rides I only got on the bumper cars and the magic carpet. When my cousins made me go on the log ride I remember being in line so scared, my heart bumping so fast, feeling like everyone around me can hear…

The space race inspired Ride to look into the idea of becoming an astronaut, but she didn’t believe it was a possibility until NASA started actively seeking out women. Because of Geraldyn “Jerrie” Cobb’s encounter with the FLATS program, Sally Ride and other women were allowed to become astronauts in NASA’s space program with the help of some federal acts to protect women's new found rights such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX. Once she was at NASA, Ride went on to explore space…

Every year in the Spring and again in the Fall I attend the Coxburg Trail ride. The trail ride starts at the old gym in Coxburg and travels twelve miles to a huge field, probably about four acres, where lunch is served and then back around to the gym a little bit shorter way ranging around six miles. Normally, weather permitting, about two hundred and fifty horses and around ten wagons show up to ride. It is so much fun because there are people playing their music, some people have grills on…

Freedom Rides were essential for making sure that states were complying with the desegregation of buses. In 1961 freedom rides were organized by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) to see if the Supreme Court’s declaration that the segregation of transportation facilities was unconstitutional actually desegregated the bus system. The SNCC was involved in the rides as well. CORE, CNCC and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) formed a coordinating committee to organize the…

The Ride of Our Lives Greeting: Welcome Mr. Cittadino, Dr. Simon, Dr. Londregan, Mrs. Ziemba, Board of Education members, faculty, family, friends, and fellow classmates: Life is a rollercoaster and it is far from a flat one. We all know that like any ordinary ride, most rollercoasters have the potential to travel up, down, and upside-down. Even with all of these intricate maneuvers, if the ride is constructed properly, all of the thrill-seekers aboard should always wind up sitting upright with…

Everyone is ready for the ride to start. There was excitement painted on all of our faces on the ride. My hands grip onto the bars tightly as I get this look written all over my face. The ride starts its sways side to side and I can't smell the fair food the sweet smell of funnel cake was gone in a blink. I close eyes as I hear people screaming with excitement. we sway side to side fast. We didn’t stop my face was painted with a smile. The ride hasn’t slowed down and my my eyes are shut all I…

1965 the freedom ride rode through western New South Wales towns as a way to draw attention to the racism that was absent. This was done by an Aboriginal student named Charles Perkins who drove a bus around protesting the discrimination against Aboriginal people in small towns in NSW. The freedom ride in Australia had a significant impact on Australians attitudes at that time towards indigenous rights. The main points being discussed will be how Charles Perkins and the Freedom Ride impacted…
