Main article: Speedy trial Criminal defendants have the right to a speedy trial. In Barker v. Wingo‚ 407 U.S. 514 (1972)‚ the Supreme Court laid down a four-part case-by-case balancing test for determining whether the defendant’s speedy trial right has been violated in the case. The four factors are: Length of delay: A delay of a year or more from the date on which the speedy trial right "attaches" (the date of arrest or indictment‚ whichever first occurs) was termed "presumptively prejudicial

The Mayflower compact is a very important document in our history. Pilgrims wrote and used it. It was brought here with them. The English Bill of Rights was also as important. It made sure that people didn’t have too much power to abuse. It kept things from getting out of control with power. The Magna Carta is another very important document. It was brought to America years ago. It is now in our government still being used today. The Mayflower Compact was signed by 41 English colonists on November

and Kinetic Friction Introduction The amount of friction force between two surfaces in contact depends on the type of the surfaces in contact and the amount of compression between the surfaces. Static friction is the force that is acting against your force before the object begins to move. If you exert a small push on the box‚ the box will not move because static friction is directly opposite to the push. If you apply a greater force than the static friction force‚ the friction increases to

PHYS 111N Experiment 06: Friction Submitted by: Porsha Renee Sumner Lab Partners: Amber Carter‚ Emily Rawles‚ Clayton Scott Wednesday‚ March 6‚ 2013‚ 9:00 AM Lab Instructor: Uttar Pudasaini Introduction In this experiment we will be examining how the kinetic friction coefficient is altered by changing the mass‚ surface area‚ speed‚ and material contacting each other. In order to find this value‚ we will be using a pulley apparatus that will allow us to measure the average velocity and manipulate

Hypothesis: For an increase in a normal force‚ there will be a corresponding increase in friction. Introduction: Force is usually connected with a push or pull exerted on an object. In this experiment‚ I am using a contact force‚ a force that exists from physical contact between two things. I am pulling the spring scale‚ which measure force in Newtons (kg x m/s2)‚ and then the block is moving. Different masses (kg)‚ or the measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its motion due

elements of the skin age‚ how the skin reacts to harm or injury‚ and why scars form unique shapes. ("Anatomy & Physiology of Adult Friction Ridge Skin") Understanding how friction edge skin responds when it contacts a surface can give assistance‚ when examining the friction ridge impressions. This essay will introduce the properties of skin and its relationship to friction-skin impressions as well as other characteristics of skin‚ such as: scarring of skin‚ condition of the skin‚ distortion and elasticity
