three major physics concepts: force‚ acceleration and velocity; many of which involve elastic propulsion and/or projectile motion. Various types of sporting equipment are constructed with springs and elastics‚ in order to absorb a force or apply a force to another object. In the context of this investigation‚ the spring is utilised to propel an object. According to Hooke’s law‚ F = -kx‚ the distance‚ x‚ that a spring is contracted or extended is proportional to the net force being exerted. Springs create

Good morning/ afternoon everyone First of all‚ thank you for inviting me to this exhibition of Poetry in Motion. I was inspired to create my work based on the poem called This Man‚ by the Solomon Islands poet‚ Celo Kulagoe. This poem is a critique of the all-encompassing power of money‚ which can dictate to presidents and prime ministers alike and can ruin those with few resources. This resonates with the current issue of Coal Seam Gas mining and its wealthy supporters‚ while the dangers to the

Centripetal force (from Latin centrum "center" and petere "to seek"[1]) is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: its direction is always orthogonal to the velocity of the body‚ toward the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Centripetal force is generally the cause of circular motion. In simple terms‚ centripetal force is defined as a force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre

texting and driving because it’s distracting‚ causes injuries and can kill you or someone else. B. In today’s lifestyle‚ text messaging is a main form of communication. Most people who own a cell phone revel in the wonders of text messaging: it’s fast and it’s easy. We impulsively respond to that buzz of our phones and often tune out our surroundings. Unfortunately‚ an overwhelming amount of drivers don’t hesitate to both read and respond to test messages while driving. Recently‚

Deborah Salerno November 20‚ 2007 SLEEP DEPRIVATION & DRIVING Nothing could prepare me for the news I received six years ago about the unexpected death of my close friend Joey. I will never forget the night he died. How I had been with him just minutes before‚ and how his death was totally unnecessary and preventable. A few weeks before Christmas in 2001‚ Joey‚ myself and a few of my other co-workers were closing down the local restaurant we worked at while attending Umass Lowell. It had

phones are major distractions when people are driving. People are so used to using their cell phones‚ some people consciously use them without knowing it and soon cause accidents that injury innocent people. Teens today have been in many crashes or died because of the carelessness of themselves or others. The main reason for this is because they are not paying attention when driving and not being careful. Cell phones are major distractions when driving. A report from the University of Utah say

up with three laws of motion laws that describe how forces and objects relate to each other. the statement means that in every interaction‚ there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs. Just to make

Definition of Force A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object’s interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects‚ there is a force upon each of the objects. When the interaction ceases‚ the two objects no longer experience the force. Forces onlyexist as a result of an interaction. Velocity‚ Acceleration‚ Momentum‚ and Impulse Velocity‚ in physics‚ is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction)‚ and is the time rate of

Natural Forces A natural force is a power brought on by nature. Natural forces‚ unlike those of other powers‚ are uncontrollable. When a hurricane passes along the coast‚ a bolt of lightning strikes a rooftop‚ and a volcano erupts‚ these are all examples of natural forces. Natural forces can have devastating effects on wildlife‚ humans‚ and the earth itself. Our effects to resist these occurrences‚ our only way to cope with such devastating forces of nature are to observe‚ learn‚ and prepare
