Robert Jones‚ wrote first account of figure skating‚ style was formal dancing. Jackson Haines‚ changed style and based skating on 1860 style dancing. Americans Irving Brokaw and George H. Browne were first to demonstrate figure skating to an audience. Canadian Louis Rubenstein‚ was a student of Haines. There is very small amount of friction between the ice-skates and the ice. This small amount allows a skater to glide along the surface smoothly without friction stopping the motion as soon as it

While the wealthy continue to benefit from the failure of the system‚ the poor suffer. There is a double standard in who the criminal justice system chooses to punish. For example‚ a man who commits fraud‚ insider trading‚ etc.‚ is charged with 109 felonies and only receives a maximum of 10 years in prison but only serves six. In comparison‚ a man who commits theft by stealing videocassettes from Walmart receives 50 years. Situations like these‚ raise the question as to who the criminal justice system

the following terms in your own words. Please do not just copy and paste the definition. 1. Gravity- The stuff that pulls you down to Earth‚ it’s basically just something that pulls objects towards other objects that have a gravitational pull. 2. Inertia- The reason you have to use some sort of effort to stop or move something. (body in motion stays in motion‚ etc.) 3. Potential Energy- Energy stored in something because of gravity‚ or tension. 4. Kinetic Energy- The energy of motion. 5. Friction-

ENERGY SYSTEMS Figure 1 shows a sprint cycle race. This activity involves cycling four laps of a 250 metre track‚ with the final lap being completed as fast as possible. Elite performers cover the final lap in times of between 10 and 11 seconds. (a) Name the main energy system being used in the final sprint to the finishing line and explain how this system provides energy for the working muscles. (4 marks) (b) At the end of the race‚ the cyclist will be out of breath and will continue to breathe

All Wheel Drive(AWD)And Four-wheel Drive (4WD) Four-wheel drive‚ All-wheel drive‚ AWD‚ 4WD‚ or 4x4 ("four by four") is a four-wheeled vehicle with a drivetrain that allows all four wheels to receive torque from the engine simultaneously. While many people associate the term with off-road vehicles and Sport utility vehicles‚ powering all four wheels provides better control than normal road cars on many surfaces‚ and is an important part in the sport of rallying. 4WD versus AWD All wheel drive or AWD means

car stops suddenly due to a collision with another object such as another car‚ a tree‚ pole‚ guardrail‚ etc. the car’s acceleration decreases very quickly in a short period of time. This is called deceleration. Newton’s Law of Inertia explains how this happens. LAW OF INERTIA: An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. As the car collides with another object‚ the other object provides the force which changes the speed and direction

Biomechanics of Sprinting Simon Dietrich Keiser University 01/16/13 Biomechanics of Sprinting When adrenalin is pumping and someone is gunning for the finish line there is no thought on controlling their legs. Their legs just go. Most people don ’t think twice about what all goes into the process of making the lower limbs move or how precise each muscle contraction must be to stay up on a runner ’s toes. Understanding kinesiology will help with understanding the biomechanics that explain
