Using my knowledge of Functional Anatomy, I can thoroughly asses my non dominant arm tennis ball throw from my preparation phase to my execution phase of the throw. Just looking at the shoulder of my left arm which is a Ball and Socket synovial joint, which is a joint that allows for a large range of different movements. From the preparation phase to the execution phase, my left shoulder is abducted with slight protraction this is because my arm is away from my midline. This is happening due to my agonist muscle which is my deltoids which are contracting and shortening which are pulling my humorous up and away from the middle line of my body. My antagonist muscles are the Pectoralias major and the Latissimus Dorsi which are relaxing and lengthening allowing the movement to occur in a controlled manner. The bones in the shoulder are the Clavicle, the Scapula, and the Humorous…
Five hundred years ago, the only soccer shoe fit for a King was a clumsy leather boot. For four shillings King Henry VIII wore a pair made by Cornelius Johnson in 1525 with pride. Four shillings today would equal about 100 dollars. Johnson was King Henry VIII’s personal shoe maker. Cornelius Johnson applied past knowledge of the injuries to create the soccer cleat and illuminated the world with the footwear.…
Physics is more around us than one would think. Physics is in all of the things you love to do. Take golf as an example there is velocity in a golf swing. Velocity is the speed of something in a given object and the speed of your club in the direction you are aiming is velocity. Also there is gravitational potential energy in the top of your backswing to cause you to pull the club downward. Kinetic energy is also in golf, During your backswing kinetic energy is causing your club to go up and in your downswing all of the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy before you hit the ball. Friction is also involved in golf because friction is the force of two objects rubbing against each other and when you hit the golf ball of the ground your club and the ball are rubbing against each other to make the ball go farther. Also when the ball hits the ground the ball and grass are rubbing against each other to cause the ball to slow down.…

The boy was running as fast as he could, the football safely tucked in his hand. Other players were charging at him, with a killer look in their eyes. But the boy only ran faster. He ran like there was no tomorrow, until he slipped on a rock that somehow got onto the field. The boy was falling. He hit his head on the field, the impact crushing his helmet. The crack of his skull echoed throughout the stadium. The boy was dead. He was one among the estimated 53,000 people that die from traumatic brain injuries every year.…
In 2004, there were 110 compact discs sold at $18.00, and 200 tennis racquets sold at $90.00. The nominal gross domestic product (110 compact discs * $18.00 compact disc's pricing for 2004) + (200 tennis racquets * $90.00 tennis racquets pricing for 2004) = 1,980 + 18,000 = $19,980 gross domestic product for 2004 using 2004 prices. The real gross domestic product for 2004 is $19,980.…
It takes one major blow to turn the course of a life upside down. In Pitcher’s Hands, Curt was the guy who held the standard for a college student. There was nothing to hate about him since he had grown up being infused with Christian morals. In fact, his Christian morals lead him to a volunteer opportunity to help a paraplegic take a bath once a week. It seemed as if Curt was living a model Christian life. Now take Brad from The Voice of the Body into consideration. He was willing to be dragged along to church weekly with his parents, had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, and did not communicate well with his parents. For both Curt and Brad, it only took one event in each of their lives to alter their walk of life forever in the faith.…
On the second trial of my experiment I had made 50% of my shots on the net (or 6 of the 12 shots.) This day I did improve. I had realized that you have better accuracy if you have your top hand more towards the top of the shaft and my bottom hand at the bottom of the shaft. This may be just a coincidence, but according to my hypothesis I had stated that I felt like when your top hand is near the top, and when your bottom hand is at the bottom you have the most accuracy with your shot.…
Head injuries can happen at any point in life, even more so in football and with the federal government looking into major head injuries such as concussions, like they did with Steroids in baseball a decade or so ago. The game has come into question with these types of injuries, if combat sports are putting people in harm’s way and if they are. The main difference now with former players and athletes and how they dealt with concussions, the more research now with head injuries that are leading to more and more players get introduced to this problem. Along with the biggest story about how the NFL was accused of knowing about the head injuries and them just flat out ignoring it, and what the former players who sued got from the league and their…
The Nok Head, sculpted in terra cotta, exemplifies the style of art in sub-Saharan cultures, and how vastly it differs from European art and even Egyptian art. The head is long and rectangular, with triangle-shaped eyes; certainly not realistic. However, the geometric symmetry is still aesthetically pleasing to the audience. Though the face is much more abstract and inaccurate compared to the archaic Greek sculptures who idealized a specific body type, it can’t be said with certainty that this appearance was not considered beautiful or even perfect in the Nok culture. The textbook explains that neither this sculpture nor others like it were excavated by archaeologists, making it difficult to determine the purpose of the work. I would guess…

In this scene, the soccer ball was kicked by a player with a tremendous force. The Lightning hand Goalie (Forth Brother) stops the ball, but fly back because of the reaction force.This scene is an example of bad physics because it is unrealistic that a human can actually take off/fly after been hit by a soccer ball. Let us assume the following:-A soccer ball is usually weight 15 pounds = 0.4kg in Fifa games -We can't simply calculate the velocity of the ball that the guy kicked in the movie. So i used the world record for the hardest recorded shot in Soccer. Which is 114mph = 50 m/s, performed by Daivd Hirst in 1996Find how long a soccer field is and the time traveled -the official length of the soccer field is 90m long. the guy who kicked the ball stands right between the half line and the penalty area, so about a quarter of 90 m, which is 22.5 m22.5/50=0.45sm=0.4kgt=0.45sv=50m/sFind the amount of force acting on the person by the soccer balla=delta v/tFnet=ma =(0.4)(50/0.45) =44.4 N44.4N is about the same as holding an object that is 4.4Kg. So in real life, if you kicked a ball at someone with the same force as the world record of hardest soccer ball kick, this might be able hit someone and make them step back or sit down; but certainly it’s not enough force to knock a person 10 feet above ground.-In addition, if you look at the beginning of the scene; when the guy kicks the ball and the ball was flying towards the net, there was no sign that the ball was affected by the force of gravity.)…
