defined as a pushing or pulling action that causes a change of the state of a body. A long jumper who wants to increase their degree of force will need to increase their weight‚ but this can negatively affect their speed‚ so it is vital to get the balance right. The law of reaction also applies to movements that occur in the air. In these situations the equal and opposite reaction is shown in movements of other parts of the body. A long jumper‚ for example‚ will bring the arms and trunk forward in preparation

the cause(s) of road accident in developing countries is the mechanic who repairs the various vehicles before the vehicles hits the road. Though many attempted to suggest that a vehicle which is not roadworthy is a source of accident‚ they failed to propose means by which this could be rectified in a holistic way. Laws could be enacted to prevent vehicles not roadworthy from operating on the roads but between the two gaps the mechanic plays a significant role in preventing such road accidents occurring

DIESEL MECHANIC Growing up in Odessa I remember waking up in the mornings‚ going outside and taking a deep beath. The smell of West Texas air is a mixture of Diesel‚ cattle‚ oil and dirt.
