ABSTRACT The purpose of this project is to determine the effect the size of an automobile’s wheel radius will have on that vehicle’s performance. To determine this‚ the distance a car travels when tested with the same propulsion force but different wheel diameter is measured. We expect that there will be an optimum size that should be utilized in order to achieve maximum efficiency. A larger or smaller wheel size should change the distance that the car will travel. The cars we

rather than organic growth or partnership? A traditional organic growth would only expand BT’s revenues and geographic scope. However‚ BT is looking for something more than that. Indeed‚ with this acquisition they will increase their competencies in propulsion systems and train controls which would complete their product portfolio. In other words‚ BT will gain technical and technological knowledge as well as a more complete product range thanks to this acquisition. Doing that internally would cost a lot

stance phase is the step cycle part which starts as soon as the foot touches the ground and terminates when the foot begins to move forward \cite{pereira2006}. This phase contains braking and propulsion phases. The braking phase is the time period between initial and maximal paw touches the ground. As the propulsion phase is the time interval between the stance phases and the beginning of the swing phase when the paw does not contact with the ground \cite{vincelette2007}. The definition of swing

study space travel as a science and in 1879 formulated his Rocket Equation‚ which is still used in the design of modern rockets. He also wrote the first theoretical description of a man- made satellite and noted the existence of a geosynchronous orbit. But he did not identify any practical applications of geosynchronous orbit. The noted German Scientist and rocket expert‚ Hermann Oberth‚ in 1923 proposed that the crews of orbiting rockets could communicate with remote regions on earth by signaling

fAfter 1000 years At the beginning of the last century‚ near the end of his tragically short life‚ James Elroy Flecker addressed these words "to a poet a thousand years hence": I care not if you bridge the seas‚ Or ride secure the cruel sky‚ Or build consummate palaces Of metal or of masonry. Well‚ we may not have bridged the seas‚ but millions now ride secure the cruel sky. And how astonished Flecker would have been to know that‚ a mere half-century after his death‚ men were preparing

2) A student measures the distance their rocket travels and has also recorded the length of flight. He works out the speed with the two values measured‚ and exclaims “I’ve worked out its top speed!” Discuss this statement. This is a false statement‚ the student has not worked out the rockets top speed‚ they have found the average speed of the rocket using the distance over time formula. 3) State Newton’s Third Law. Explain the third law using the rocket as your example. Newton’s third law states

The first factor which allowed Rocket to escape the allure of gang life in The City of God was simply his conscience; from a young age‚ even before he was able to fully understand the concepts and politics behind organized crime and violence‚ Rocket was not able to stomach the life of crime that his brother had chosen. Rocket continuously chose to stay behind when his brother would commit crimes with his gang; I believe that the violent death of his brother subconsciously validated his decision to
