When a manger finds that demand exceeds inventory‚ the answer lies in making more goods. When a manager finds that inventory exceeds demand‚ the answer lies in making fewer goods. But what if a company management finds that they just do not know which situation applies? This is the situation that recently confronted management at Rollerblade‚ the popular skate manufacturer based in Minnetonka‚ Minnesota. Rollerblade has been one of the leading firms in the fast growing high performance roller

You throw the ball. You catch the ball‚" said a well-respected baseball manager by the name of Casey Stengel. Mr. Stengel was a baseball man‚ not a mathematician nor a physicist. Physics and mathematics can be applied to the game of baseball on every pitch‚ and on every swing of the bat. To understand the physics of the game‚ it is first necessary to look at the center of the game‚ the ball. Section 1.09 of the Official Baseball Rules states that the ball must weigh between 5 ounces and 5 ¼

Physics can be related to sports and fitness on many different levels. When you lift weights‚ play sports or even buy athletic equipment you probably don’t know how much physics was really put into any of it. Weightlifter’s need to know which workout is better. Also the equipment athletes use relate to physics. Manufactures design equipment for athletes‚ which involve physics. The manufactures need to think about what will make the object better and what materials will cause the equipment

TEACHER‚ TEACHER Teacher‚ Teacher is a play by Ellison Carroll in two acts which explores two different ways of teaching and learning. The traditional method of teaching is exemplified by Hamilton Cade‚ a young man who has been a teacher at many schools. The second method which is activity based learning or practical learning is tried by Charles Carter‚ an air force pilot but currently a handyman. Both Cade and Carter are hired by Niles Putnam‚ an architect‚ to teach and take care of his challenged

3. Recent technological developments have allowed greater use of the electromagnetic spectrum 1. describe electromagnetic waves in terms of their speed in space and their lack of requirement of a medium for propagation In space (a vacuum) electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light‚ a constant equal to 3.00108ms1. Unlike sound waves‚ electromagnetic waves do not vibrate particles‚ therefore they do not need a medium (substance) to propagate (move). 2. identify the electromagnetic wavebands

GRAVITATION Kepler’s Laws Towards the end of the sixteenth century‚ Tycho Brahe collected a huge amount of data giving precise measurements of the position of planets. Johannes Kepler‚ after a detailed analysis of the measurements announced three laws in 1619. 1. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse which has the Sun at one of its foci. 2. Each planet moves in such a way that the (imaginary) line joining it to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. 3. The squares of the periods
