Physics of Volleyball Physics is the study of energy and how it is transferred from one particle to another. There is certainly a lot of energy transferred between objects and players in the sport of volleyball. A few of the concepts of physics that take place during volleyball include gravity‚ displacement‚ velocity‚ acceleration‚ projectile motion‚ and force. These concepts are displayed throughout the different positions on the court. There are three main aspects of volleyball that include

In your own words explain why Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the “father of modern science” Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the father of modern science because of how many of Galileo’s discoveries have become the basis of today’s science. 2. Why did Galileo choose to use a ramp to perform his acceleration experiment? Technology during Galileo’s time was still quite primitive. His experiment which required him to drop

of a yo-yo.3 A yoyo works by converting potential energy into different kinds of energy as it falls down. When the string is tightly wound around the axle and the yoyo rests in the person’s palm‚ the yoyo has a lot of potential energy. The potential energy is turned into the two of the following: gravitational energy and the potential to spin as it unwinds. When the yoyo is allowed to fall‚ the potential energy turns into kinetic energy giving the yoyo linear momentum and angular momentum.

The Jewish Scripture starts right at the beginning of time itself‚ where God created the universe‚ and only then did he create the earth (Genesis 1). Right from the beginning God has had an intimate connection between God and the world‚ and this connection is believed to continue throughout time. From the moment god created humanity (Gen. 1:26)‚ we were created for the one purpose to protect the earth. But it is in the story of Noah that we perhaps truly learn about the role that God had created

Since Independence‚ there has been a steady rise in the number of Protected Areas (PAs) (National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries)‚ especially after the enactment of the Wildlife Protection Act in 1972. In 1988‚ there were 54 national parks and 372 sanctuaries covering a total area of 109‚652 sq km. By the year 2000‚ this number
