Ski lift

So once upon a time I decided that I would learn how to ski. Now, I'm pretty sure everybody knows what skiing is. Where you get on a lift, go up a mountain, ski down, and then start all over again. Turns out there is a lot more to it than just pointing your skis in the direction you want to go and then ta-da. Learning how to stop is probably a very crucial factor in skiing, but I thought it was so easy that I could do it without much instruction. Turns out it's very important to get instructions…

Introduction To understand aircraft propulsion it is important to understand the term propulsion first. Propulsion is a means of producing force required for movement of object. The propulsion system has some source of mechanical power and some means of using this power to generate force such as wheels, propellers, legs, etc. Nobody can precisely tell the origin of mankind’s desire to fly as it is lost in the distant past. There are legends of people strapping birdlike wings and jumping of a…

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…

attack was measured. The lift coefficient for the aerofoil was calculated and compared with the published NACA data, the effect of the leading-edge slat is determined using the wind tunnel experiment. Also understand the aerofoil characteristic in terms of fundamental fluid dynamics. The coefficient of pressure (C_p) is calculated by the ratio of static pressure (P-P_∞) over the dynamic pressure of the free stream (1/2 ρU_∞^2) using the equation: C_p=(P-P_∞)/(1/2 ρU_∞^2 ) . The lift coefficient…

ready to go up to the lift, but first I had to go and get my purple and black snowboard. After I had my snowboard in hand I walked outside. While I was making my way up to the lift, my stomach was flipping 100mph and I saw all of the kids struggling to get on the lift. I was praying to God that I would not fail while trying to get on the lift. My cousin and I had to wait in the longest line , and by the time it was our turn my feet ached from the snowboard boots. I saw the lifts fly past me; I…

year. As I rushed to the brightly colored christmas tree I noticed there was a huge rectangular package leaning behind it. Immediately I jumped towards the package in desperation. As I teared its red wrapping paper off i noticed that it was a pair of skis. Right then my Mom walked into the living room and told me that this would be the year that I skied. Naturally being a six year old i didn't appreciate the notion right away because I wanted toys instead. However this changed as soon as it was…

Degenerate Cases of Conic Sections: Conics are formed when a plane and a double cone intersect. These intersections can form a variety of conics. These include: circles, parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas. A circle can be formed from a cone if a plane intersects with the cone at an angle perpendicular to the base of the cone. This circle is also formed by the equation: (x-h)2+ (y-k)2=r2. This equation creates a relation because the collection of points does not pass the vertical line test. To…

Assessment Task 1 A. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Goal: lift distribution capacity by 20% Current resources: 30 employees - 1 business manager - 15 employees in picking and packing team - 10 in distribution team - 4 in checkout team Operating hours: 5am to 5pm Products for distribution: dry food products, chemical cleaners, refrigerated foods, fresh and frozen produces, cigarettes and alcohol.

Paper planes Will more weight of the paper airplane affect how far it flies. Throwing paper plane. How paper planes get affected in the air. How to make paper planes fly better. If I put more weight on the paper plane than it won’t fly as far. How to throw the paper airplane better. The way you throw the paper plane will affect the flight of the plane. Don’t throw it too hard, but also not too soft, throw it almost like a football. Throwing the paper plane up at 15-degree angle to make it fly…

In flight there are four basic components; thrust, drag, lift, and weight. Newton’s laws and The Bernoulli Principle are the explanation of how everything works. Balance of force is a very important part of it. If the upward force is greater than the gravitational force imposed on an object, the object will go up. If the gravitational force is greater, then the object will go down or remain on the ground. World War I was the first time that airplanes were used on a large scale. At the start of…
