Torque

The purpose of this lab is to evaluate the relationship between kinetic friction coefficient and static coefficient as well as measure the coefficients of the two friction. Friction is the force that resists relative tangential movement. Its direction is opposite to the relative velocity. Kinetic friction and static friction are two types of friction. Static Friction happens when the two surface in contact remains relatively stationary to each other. It reaches its maximum value before the…

“I really just want to hold your hand. I want to sleep on your shoulder and think about how I could do that forever. I want your arms around me and my hands in your hair. I want so much that I don’t know what I want. One fact is for sure: I want you, and I want to be happy. I just wish there was a way to have both.” This comes from a private blog post entitled What I Want Right Now by the confused 11th grade version of myself. It was March 2015 and I was over three months deep into my first…

The Marine Expeditionary Unit, the basis with which the MAGTF operates, must evolve in the near future in order to cope with the concepts and challenges presented in Expeditionary Force 21. First, refining our organization and adjusting the way we train and fight is necessary to face the ever changing tactics and strategies of our adversaries. Second, our forward posture needs to adjust in order to smartly prepare for crises and hostilities abroad. Nested in these two concepts are several…

“Mia, you aren’t going to get better if you don’t talk to me, please just open up” The lady pleads with me. I stare down at her squeaky clean badge. ‘Nicole Williams, Grief Counsellor’ I’ve sat in the same chair, having the same conversation with this lady for the past 3 months. No one understands that I don’t need them, I don’t need their sympathetic looks, or their motivation speeches, I just need them to all go away. My thoughts are interrupted by the timer beside us beeping.…

The Power of a Name Names are a very powerful thing. Names are not only what other people call us, but they also have the ability to define who we are. They are a representation of the choices that we have made and the personalities we have developed. Whether it is a nickname or a given name, it holds a power that nothing else does. In The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Malcolm shares many of the names that he has had during his lifetime. These names reflect who and what he was at that time in his…

evel the force table and put one of the pulley at the angle 35° and another at 150° Place .100 slotted mass on a weight hanger at 35° Place .200 slotted mass on a weight hanger at 150° Place another pulley at different angle from 35° and 150° On the third angle, place the amount of slotted mass so the ring will remain in center of the force. Now the ring is at equilibrium. Record the required slotted mass that made the ring at equilibrium. Record the tensions in each of the strings on the…

2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 For stalling performance and handling. Nothing else looks, feels or sounds like the Lamborghini Aventador. It has the same features like the Ferrari and McLaren in matters of performance, and the expenses. However, this is not a great car for one to drive if they are not made use of to speed or smaller sized cars. This car is an extremely quick. It has a V12 engine and it offers you a stunning step with every gearshift you make. It has great suspensions and…

It all began on a humid Wednesday night late in August. Freshman orientation at Bethel College had just come to a close, and the first day of classes was looming in the distance much like a dark, ominous storm cloud fast approaching on the horizon. I, like many of my dorm mates, was very anxious about the coming year. I remember the night vividly: I was sitting on my bed listening to Twenty-One Pilots. I had just concluded an evening at the sand volleyball pit located behind my dorm. I began to…

Soccer is a sport that involves two teams of 11 players who strike a football with their feet. When the players kick the ball they can affects the way the ball spins in the air. Factors that affect the way a ball spins include: wind drag, the way the ball is struck, and friction. These affect it due to the change of the air-flow over the ball, which occur when the ball spins in both a translational and rotational motion. This is due to the magnus effect and bernoulli principle occurring when the…

Paragraph 1: A lever is a simple machine, which is a long rigid object resting on a pivot or a fulcrum, which rotates. This reduces the effort that is needed to move something. In this experiment the lever is the catapults arm. The lever we have used for the throwing arm is classified as a third class lever. The base of the catapult is the fulcrum, where it pivots off. The load is the beanbag on the end of the arm and the effort is how much it takes to pull down the arm of the catapult. Tennis…
