or yellow coats and are known for their amazing speed. The cheetah can reach speeds of 45 mph in 2.5 seconds but they can only sustain top speed up to 64 mph briefly. Cheetahs are 3.5 to 4.5 feet long from heat to rump, their tails add an additional 25 – 31 inches and normally weigh around 77 – 143 pounds. Cheetahs are found in sub-Saharan Africa and in eastern and southern African parks. They like dry, open grasslands where they can pick up speed to kill prey. They spend their day stalking and…
The intent of residential streets is to provide access to adjacent properties and to maintain low traffic speed. It is common for municipalities to use a narrow pavement sections on residential streets as a speed calming strategy, as wider pavement section may increase speed of through traffic. TAC states that in local residential streets, it is desirable to encourage low operating speeds. This can be accomplished by minimizing roadway widths (minimum travel and parking lanes) and accepting…
tornado is a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud, and advancing beneath a large storm system. “The most destructive tornadoes are capable of having tremendous destruction, and wind speeds can get around 300 miles per hour!” (Weather Wiz Kids Weather Information…
which can attract or repel metal objects. Magnets are utilized in motors, circuits, compasses, and can be used in many other applications. They are also used in something called the Gauss Rifle, which can use magnets to launch a projectile at high speed. It is made up of one or more magnet stages, which consists of a magnet and two ball bearings on one side. The number of magnet stages can determine how fast or how slow the projectile can go. It should be noted that this project is not an actual…
In the T.V show called “The Flash” there are various scenes where the producers and directors face challenges in making the scenes as realistic as possible. When creating this character the producers showed viewers The Flash in full suit with powers and even with effects that kept the essence of running in real life and the noises that are created. The scene where Barry Allen (The Flash) travels back in time shows how the sound, visual, and lighting effects are key to make the show realistic.…
the mid 1960s it had become a major part of their respective air wings. The Phantom is a large fighter with top speed of over Mach 2.2 or about 750 mph. It can carry more than 18,000 pounds of weapons. The F-4 was designed without an internal cannon. Later models developed a M61 Vulcan rotary cannon. Beginning in 1959, it set 15 world records for in flight performance, fastest speed, and an altitude record. During the Vietnam War, the F-4 was used all the time. It became important in the…
For instance, a runner sprinting from a standstill. Throughout the initial phase of acceleration, the body is inclined forward and therefore the center of gravity falls in front of the contact surface. After many gait cycles, the runner reaches top speed and their center of mass then moves backward. A participant who tried to accelerate with their body upright would tumble backwards as a result of the direction of the ground reaction force.12 The further forward the trunk of the body leans and…
meters between Point A and Point B, and V represents the speed (meter/ second) of how fast a person walks. In mathematical terms, it uses the total distance traveled to divided by the time to get an estimation of the average speed(second). But, if we want to find out the age of the universe ? Then, we need to take it into the universe’s perspective. In 1929, Edward hubble discovered that distance of the galaxies is proportional to the speed of our galaxy. Later, this discovery was confirmed…
t Background Figure 1: Hailam Kopitiam Logo Hailam Kopitiam is Malaysian food culture originated by the emergence of traditional kopitiams, which were oftenly family-owned entities that were handed down from one generation to another. For this new age kopitiam offers the classic food and drinks combined with modern conveniences such as piped in music, air conditionaing, attractive interior design and Wi-Fi connection. Figure 2: The map of Hailam Kopitiam For this project, I have choose…
consumer end. At the consumer end, harmonics are caused by nonlinear loads such as PCs, CFLs, electronic devices, etc. The harmonics distortion caused by non-linear load such as electric arc furnaces, large concentrations of arc discharge lamps, variable speed motors, saturation of magnetization of transformer and a distorted line current. The current generated by such loads will interact with power system impedance and increases harmonics. Harmonics can lead to degradation of power quality at…
