Aside from being known in the Congress as a powerful debater‚ properly nicknamed ‘Little Giant’ because of his short stature of 5’ 4”‚ he became Lincoln’s running opponent in his couple attempts at taking the American presidency. While he did not finish his campaign in office in the White House‚ he kept his efforts

Have you ever heard the saying‚ “have you ever wanted something so much it hurt”? Well‚ when I say it. I’m talking about literally hurting. Your legs are so sore‚ it feels like you can’t take another stride‚ your so out of breath from chasing the ball around‚ and your so exhausted from last nights practice‚ your bed seems to be the most attractive thing to you right now. Three hour practices of straight running‚ push ups‚ and sit ups has its pros and cons. Even at times when you feel like you need

If a player clears the alley with 2 balls‚ it is known as a spare‚ and the bowler

for the Special Olympics sport and the traditional way‚ I noticed that equipment is very different. For the Special Olympics bowling ball MUST have a serial number and if it’s no longer identified‚ then it CANNOT be used for the game. Compared to the traditional all that is needed from the bowling ball is two or three finger holes; most bowlers use the three-holed ball‚ inserting the two middle fingers and the thumb into the holes. Bowling shoes must be worn during bowling for the safety of the athletes

something that I do almost everyday and has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. My poster depicts the physics involved in kicking‚ the ball rolling across the field‚ and bending the ball. Kicking a soccer ball involves transferring kinetic energy‚ or movement‚ from your leg to the ball. The energy you apply into the ball combines with the stored energy already present combining to create a velocity that is even faster than the object that hit it (your leg). Factors

Imagine it like this‚ “A person is on a canoe going down Niagara Falls‚ once they reach a certain point the person can not get back up‚ while going down the gravity is stronger at the tip of the canoe than the end so‚ the canoe breaks in half‚” (“Stephen Hawking on Black Holes”). That is exactly what would happen to a person falling into a black hole but‚ by the time they actually got into the black hole they would be so broken up they would look like spaghetti.

results. Figure 7: shows the relationship between loft angle and linear velocity From the Figure 7‚ there is a negative relationship between the loft angle of golf club and the linear velocity of golf ball. Which means as the loft angle increases‚ the linear velocity of ball decreases. The golf ball travels with relatively fast velocity at 9.2ms-1‚ when the loft angle is 0 degree‚ but it travels relatively slower at 3.7ms-1 when the loft angle is 80 degree. Also‚ the shape of graph seems to be a non

Just give me your instant‚ reflexive reaction as to what you think that the answer to the question is. A ball and bat cost $1.10. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? If you’re like most people‚ your immediate answer was‚ "Ten cents." And you’d be wrong. Check it out. The bat costs $1 more than the ball. So if the ball costs ten cents‚ then the bat costs $1.10‚ and the total cost would be $1.20. That’s too much. We could try something lower. How about seven cents

Football – Childhood Physical – When a child plays football‚ they could be running or walking to catch the ball‚ kicking a ball or throwing a ball‚ which is all part of physical movement. The more they do this their gross motor physical skills improve. Intellectual – A child’s intellectual skills could improve when playing football because they may learn how to stop the ball properly‚ how to kick a ball properly and learn the basic rules of football‚ as they are too young to learn all the rules of football
