Part I: Consequences Part I of The Weight of the Nation discussed the effects of the obesity epidemic in America. It immediately grabbed my attention when they stated that more than 18% of American children are obese. Two-thirds of America (or 68.8%) is overweight or obese. There is a strong connection between a high BMI and diabetes mellitus and hypertension‚ especially when accompanied by a high percentage of abdominal fat. I found it interesting‚ and important‚ that the first woman who shared

Purpose/Problem/Question Which type of friction is the largest force – static‚ sliding‚ or rolling? Which is the smallest? II. Background Information From our previous activities that we did in class‚ I know that static friction is a very large force. The force is larger than rolling‚ sliding‚ and fluid friction. I also learned that rolling friction is the smallest type of force. This information may connect to my final analysis. III. Hypothesis If static friction is the largest force‚ then either sliding

Coefficient of Kinetic Friction Objective: After completing this experiment‚ you should be able to measure the coefficient of sliding friction of an object that is located on an inclined plane. Apparatus: Inclined Plane Pulley attachment for plane Wooden blcok‚ with hook attached Meterstick Felt Set of masses String Protractor Procedure: 1. Place the board in the position shown in Figure 7-1. 2. The angle of the board should be small enough so that the wooden block will not slide

Friction Losses Abstract—The purpose of the experiment is to study the differences of roughness‚ valves and geometries of pipe and how they influence friction losses. Introduction Friction loss is the loss of energy or “head” that occurs in pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. This energy drop is dependent on the wall shear stress (τ) between the fluid and pipe surface. The shear stress of a flow is also dependent on whether the flow is turbulent

744-FAST Weight Training Introduction Weight training is more than developing a sculpted body. Strong and healthy muscles are important for all activities performed throughout the day. Weight training helps with mundane tasks such as housecleaning‚ mowing the lawn and shoveling snow. It also aids in the body’s efficient use of oxygen‚ placing less strain on the heart. Good posture is the result of strong muscles being able to support the rest of the body’s mass 24 hours a day. In addition‚ weight training
