Use of force

to the increase in speed of the snowboarder due to pumping as well as change in direction during the flips and rotation. Increased speeds require great accelerations, which also means that on changing direction, snowboarders are impacted by large forces which can be between 2.5-2.7 times their body mass (VideosatNSF). Thus, in the…

“Joint functions are related capabilities and activities grouped together to help Joint Force Commanders integrate, synchronize, and direct joint operations.” The Sicily Campaign, known as Operation Husky, provides various examples of combined and joint functions. Although Operation Husky resulted in an important Allied victory, joint functions such as command and control (C2) proved dismal; fires were considered marginal; while maneuver was regarded as satisfactory. To illustrate this a brief…

encounters throughout life. Although it may seem obvious that tension could have someone feeling confused or stuck, tension is a necessary element required for development and growth. In literary works such as Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya and Everyday Use by Alice Walker, this element of familial and inner tension are used in order to create characters such as Antonio and Maggie that drastically develop throughout their story. By having this notion of tension broken down from something…

Analysis/Discussion: This graph above shows that different heights does affect the speed of a shuttlecock. On the x axis, the data is the height of where the shuttlecock is dropped from, while the y axis is the average speed (m/s). The height where the shuttlecock is dropped increases, as the average speed of each height increases as well. The result of the graph is shown that the line keeps on increasing even if it is not a straight line graph. These results support my hypothesis, which states…

ever right? If your job requires you to stay after your eight hour shift, the time in a half pay for overtime must be nice too. Well not everybody has the luxury to say the same. As we know in the United States, most of our everyday products that we use are made overseas. Most of what we buy is from developing countries and is grown and manufactured by workers whose rights were ignored and who were not paid minimum wage. Workers in developing countries were exposed dangerous machinery,…

over time. What worked for us humans a few thousand years ago may not be as helpful today? So while our behavior adapts to the changing times and environment, it is thought that it never completely forgets its evolutionary roots. One of the driving forces of some human behavior is something called the “fight or flight response” (also known as the acute stress response). This is the psychology term that describes one of the ways we can react when under stress. Understanding the purpose of the…

Football Position: CDM (Centre Defensive Midfielder) Strength 1 = Power Within my chosen activity of football I believe that power is one of my biggest strengths. Power is the ability to exert maximum muscular contraction instantly in an explosion burst movements or in the least amount of time possible. The two components of power are strength and speed. E.G. jumping for a header, sprinting to the ball. Power is needed to jumping for header because you need power for your take-off into the air…

middle of the ramp. This would keep times from increasing due to obstructions on the surface of the slope. The initial velocity of the trolley was kept consistent throughout trials by letting the trolley roll down on its own rather than applying force to it by pushing it downwards. This kept the initial velocity from changing throughout trials and allowed the results to be as accurate as…

boost the immune cells while providing the feeling of relaxation. By simply stroking and pulling the inner and outer ear gently, you can achieve the desired results. Do the exercise while taking super deep breaths and exhaling gently. You can also use the index finger to trace the inner parts of your ear to release tension in other parts of your body. Adding oils while massaging also provides a soothing effect while at the same time making you feel energized and relaxed.…

Air also has two similar properties, mass and elasticity. Stiffness and elasticity are interchangeable quantities as both possess the same features. A spring is a highly elastic object which can be displaced from equilibrium through applying a force to the mass. This is generally done by compressing or stretching the spring. By compressing the spring, the spring is displaced from equilibrium and moved towards the right, automatically assigning a sense of direction causing negative…
