    Simple Machine Joemarie A. Martinez 1-D CE Simple machine Simple machines make work easier by multiplying‚ reducing‚ or changing the direction of a force. The scientific formula for work is w = f x d‚ or‚ work is equal to force multiplied by distance. Simple machines cannot change the amount of work done‚ but they can reduce the effort force that is required to do the work! As you can see by this formula‚ if the effort force is reduced‚ distance is increased. These simple machines

    Convection Currents in the Mantle Tuesday‚ 25 June 2013 11:10 AM   "Movement of the Crust"   There are many different reasons why the earth’s crust is moving. Some for example are the friction between two plates causing major earthquakes. Sometimes when this plates are pushed together they form fold mountains or ridges. Today we know that the continents are gradually moving apart. Therefore the there is new rocks created in between those areas. New volcanoes are created and new rocks are

    brake. 2. Who invented the drum brake? In what year did this occur? In 1902 Louis Renault invented the internal expanding drum brake. 3. Why was the drum brake superior to its predecessors? First‚ the shoes are enclosed on the drum so the friction lining is away from water or dirt‚ so they last longer. The drum brake also exhibits servo-assistance‚ in both forward and reverse; the leading shoe exhibits servo assistance in forward travel‚ the trailing shoe

    venturi meters. 3.1.2. Theory When a fluid flows along a pipe‚ friction between the fluid and the pipe wall causes a loss of energy. This energy loss shows itself as a progressive fall in pressure along the pipe and varies with the rate of the flow. The head loss due to friction can be calculated by the expression: Lu 2  D hf  4 f  (3.1.1) where hf : head loss due to friction‚ m H2O D : diameter of pipe‚ m f : friction factor g : acceleration due to gravity‚ m/sec2 L : length of pipe

    Every aspect of basketball has some type of force working upon it. For example‚ without friction a basketball player would be unable to stop because inertia states that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Without friction acting upon the player‚ there is no force to stop him‚ until he hits a wall that is. With this information you can come to the conclusion that without forces‚ there would be no game of basketball. However‚ what exactly is a force? Webster’s dictionary defines force as a push

    resistance and how much is used to fight rolling friction and the slight internal friction (Beckman). A late model Corvette has a Cd of about 0.30 and frontal area of about 20 square feet (Beckman). Going through all the necessary conversions and math which is complicated because of converting to and from metric and force into horsepower you determine 145hp is used to balance drag and 95hp is used to balance the rolling resistance and internal friction (Beckman). This explains why fast cars have so
