with magnitude and direction,[2][3] though in many cases only magnitude is considered (sometimes with negative values for deceleration). Acceleration is accompanied by a force, as described by Newton's Second Law; the force, as a vector, is the product of the mass of the object being accelerated and the acceleration (vector). The SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared (m/s2). For example, an object such as a car that starts from standstill, then travels in a straight line at increasing speed

Food: Unknowing how much food and water I will receive, it is very vital to my health that I supply my own food and water. I would bring one 40 ounce jar of peanut butter that contains 6,650 calories in all and weighs 2.8 pounds, one twelve pack of Clif Bars that contains 3,120 and weighs 2 pounds, four bottles of water that weight 4.8 pounds in total, and finally one water purifier that weighs .2 pounds. I need about 1,500 calories per day, however the situation I would be put in would need me

The Physics of Basketball Basketball isn't as easy as people depict it to be. Basketball physics is fairly irrelevant. Most people who study the physics of basketball get deep into the art of shooting, passing, and dribbling instead of actually playing the sport. There are many aspects to the physics of basketball. I have five aspects I would like to discuss. The shot, shooting a free throw, the spin, dribbling, and passing. First I would like to talk about the game of basketball all around

The 24 hour dietary recall was conducted over a period of two days which included one week day and one weekend. My calorie consumption is more than the normal required amount for a female of my age and activity level. According to the USDA recommendations, in order to maintain my ideal body weight, my total consumption should be within 2000 calories per day. My ideal Basal metabolic rate (BMR) should be within the range of 18.5 to 25. However, I have a BMI of 25.8 which places me in the overweight

The Anatomical Analysis table below shows joint movement, plane and axis, force of the driver, and contact during the critical phase. The full golf swing is a primary foundation of any other swing in the game of golf. This is the base of the golf game. During the critical phase of the golf swing you will be using all of your muscles in your torso to try and have good solid contact with the ball. The hips/torso and wrists are the most important things when it comes to driving the ball. During

Step two of our Rube Goldberg project is a pulley system. The pulley system consists of a small bucket with washers inside. Attached to the other side of the pulley system are washers as well. The pulley system is at first unequally weighted, having more weight on the non-bucket side. It is slightly heavier on the one side because when the marble falls into the bucket, the bucket will become heavier causing the washers to advance upwards as the bucket advances downwards. When this happen, another

Trebuchets are awesome. They are a mathematical pieces of art. there are several different math equations used to determine how it works and how it reaches its destination. But all the headache was worth it do to the fact that they became the bigger better versions of catapults.The models shoot farther and more accurate than its past predecessor. The only problem they had was that they big and difficult to transport. Unlike its previous form the trebuchet had to be partially disassembled do to its

Describe how you conducted the experiment. What variables did you investigate in this experiment? We had one person hold the meter stick up perpendicular to the floor and drop the bouncy ball provided ball with no force, straight down from the height of our choosing. We chose the heights 100cm, 90cm, 80cm, 70cm, 60cm, 40cm, and 20cm. The remaining members of our group watched to see how much it would bounce up, we did 3 recordings of the bounce height for each drop height and averaged them by using

The main purpose of doing this lab is to work on NI ELVIS work station which is used in electrical labs. All electrical labs will use this work station because it is so easy to construct any circuit on it and then test it. Three different circuits have been built on NI ELVIS work station in this lab and the following objectives were met successfully. The first objective is to learn the use of Digital Multimeter (DMM) and then use it to measure resistance, voltage and current for any circuit which
