    anyone asked me how I would like to be remembered in the Roller hobby‚ I would say I want to be remembered as a man of integrity because if you don’t have integrity‚ you have nothing! After I am gone‚ if people say I flew some descent Rollers‚ that would be fine‚ too. But I would like to be remembered as man of integrity.” This was the reply of James Turner of Greenwood‚ South Carolina‚ when asked how he would want to be remembered among the Roller pigeons community. I had heard a lot about James Turner

    Edgar Xiong David Blackburn Period 3 Physics of Flight One may wonder‚ what is flight? Many just stare up into the blue skies above and assume. while others devote their lives to discovering and finding a passion in aviation. Flight can be simply characterized as the [powered] gliding of an object through the air‚ but the wonders of soaring through the air does not simply stop there‚ instead‚ flight is a whole myriad of forces acting on each other‚ as so found out by scientists decades

    surface‚ accelerating because of an unbalanced force. The rate at which an object travels down the slope is dependent upon how tilted the slope is; the greater the tilt of the plane‚ the faster the rate which an object will slide down. Thus‚ if a physics cart is released on at a steep slope‚ the acceleration of the cart is expected to roll down the slope at a faster rate. As shown in figure 1‚ when a cart is released on an inclined plane‚ there’s always two to four forces acting upon the cart – the

    AS Level Physics: Terms & Definitions:- Measurement Random errors are errors of measurements that result in a scatter of readings about a mean value. Systematic errors are errors of measurement which occur according to some fixed patterns such that they consistently give out an over-estimation or under-estimation of the true value. Accuracy is a measure of how close the results of an experiment agree with the true value. Precision is a measure of how close the results of an experiment
