The Physics of Volleyball Forces, acceleration, gravity, projectile motion, and many other such things make volleyball the game that it is. Volleyball is a sport that includes many aspects of Physics some of these are very basic concepts while others are more advanced. Better understanding of these concepts could improve a player’s game. Physics explains and elucidates the basic fundamentals of volleyball and why one should perform them in such a way. Displacement

an applied shear stress. Fluids are a subset of the states of matter and include three of the four states of matter [1]. An example of tangential shear stress can be something as simple as a piece of wood floating on a small body of water. If the force, F, is applied at the end of one side, then the board transmits a tangential shear stress, denoted as, t, to the surface of the water. Shear stress is defined as the tangential to the area over which it acts, and is expressed in the same units as Direct

Unequal force. For a bridge, this means that unless all of the forces on a bridge remain balanced, one or more components of the bridge will move. Left uncorrected, this instability can lead to a partial or total collapse of the bridge. Newton's Second Law states that the force on an object is equal to its mass times acceleration. Gravity is an acceleration that causes a force upon a bridge and its parts. Wind also acts as acceleration on a bridge. For a bridge to remain standing, these forces must

GRAPHS AND EQUATIONS (Using Work and Kinetic Energy) Joanne Gambon, Cheska Santos, Kim Urbano, Anna Veluz Abstract The researchers are tasked to perform an experiment involving force, work, and Kinetic energy. To perform the experiment, the researchers used graphing software to record their graphs, a dynamic cart, a pulley, ramp and a set of weights. The researchers started with gathering the data by attaching the cart to a pulley that is attached to a weight holder. Different weights are attached

manufacturing, the allocation of 40% of revenues for labor costs was a good ballpark figure. In-terms meant for every $1.00 is generated by manufacturing company, 40 cent went for base pay and benefits for the workforce. 3. What is the greatest force for the continuation of poverty in the current democratic-capitalistic society? The current weak economy has caused many unfortunate changes to America, but perhaps the biggest effect of the dwindling economy is the loss of many jobs. Many companies

in a downwards or upwards style. In the case of a military situation, power is used to a downwards form (Younts & Mueller, 2001). The theory also emphasizes the necessity of some level of coercion, which is legitimized, legalized and viewed as force or influence. In the case of the military situation, the DOD reported that more than 25,000 crimes of a sexual nature were committed by the members of the U.S army (Department of Defense, 2012). Despite the fact that military structures are known

velocity of 50 ms-1 has a force constant of 0.05. Calculate its air resistance. Solution: Given: Velocity of air v = 50 ms-1, Force constant c = 0.05 The force constant is given by F = cv2 = 0.05 × 2500 = 125 N. Question 2: An object is traveling at 20 ms-1 experiences a force of 50 N. Calculate the force constant. Solution: Given: Velocity of air v = 20 ms-1, Force F = 50 N, The force constant is given by
