One of the most compelling arguments made against the use of computers by children is the risk of repetitive motion injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome. This problem may be greater for children than for adults because their musculature and skeletal systems are not fully formed and may be at greater risk for injury. Children’s risk of suffering repetitive motion injuries may be further increased because they tend to use computers that are sized for adults‚ placed on adult-sized furniture‚ and positioned

undergo a vertical motion‚ but also undergo a horizontal motion. That is‚ as they move upward or downward they are also moving horizontally. There are the two components of the projectile’s motion - horizontal and vertical motion. And since perpendicular components of motion are independent of each other‚ these two components of motion can be discussed separately. The goal of this part of the lesson is to discuss the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile’s motion; specific attention

Johanna Malmstrom Mr. Manolio Honors Physics 17 January 2014 Egg Impact Crash Test My project was constructed by using simple materials that could be found around the house and were transformed into a protective device for two Grade A Large Eggs. The materials of my project are cardboard‚ tape and a hot glue gun. I used a cardboard box whose flaps folded in over top‚ but taped open the flaps so that the height would meet the 20 cm minimum requirement. I made sure the width was less than 50 cm

Term 3 Uniform Circular Motion When a body moves in a circular path with a constant speed‚ it is said to undergo uniform circular motion. Although the speed is constant‚ velocity is continually changing‚ since it is constantly changing its direction of motion. Centripetal V V ac ac Acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circle and is therefore called “centripetal acceleration.” ac =v^2r ac =v^2r If T is the time taken for one revolution then: V = 2πrT ac =v^2r

** Atom and Introduction to Nuclear physics ** Introduction Alpha-particle scattering 2.1 Experimental set-up ➢ Alpha particle o is a high-energy helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons. o has 2 positive charges. ➢ Gold foil was chosen since it has a high atomic mass. Thin gold foil‚ ~10-6m was bombarded by high-energy alpha particles. ➢ Angular deflections/ scattering of alpha particles were measured by observing

Perpetual Motion (of machines) is defined as “The motion of a machine that‚ once activated‚ would run forever unless subject to an external force”; is it possible? Let’s start off where it all began. Ever since the 8th century man has been attempting to build Perpetual Motion Machines‚ many were designs of a system of weights on a wooden wheel.[1] These work in a simple cycle starting with the weights on the left side‚ these weights hang close to the wheel resulting in a lower torque; but when the

PHYSICS PROJECT TO STUDY THE OPTICAL LENS OF A HUMAN EYE Eyes are organs that detect light‚ and convert it to electro-chemical impulses in neurons. The simplest photoreceptors in conscious vision connect light to movement. In higher organisms the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment; regulates its intensity through a diaphragm; focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image; converts this image into a set of electrical signals;

Motion sickness Overview: The motion sickness is a deeper malaise - whose symptoms are nausea‚ vomiting‚ fatigue - due to non-uniform motion caused from traveling in a car‚ a ship‚ a train or a plane. Causes: You get motion sickness when one piece of your offset detecting framework (your internal ear camera.gif‚ eyes‚ and tactile nerves) detects that your body is moving‚ yet alternate parts don’t. Case in point‚ in the event that you are in the lodge of a moving ship‚ your internal ear may sense
