Pool Pockets For this problem we were given a modified pool table, in which there are only corner pockets, no side pockets. We imagine there is a ball starting in the bottom left corner and shooting at a 45 degree angle and bouncing off the side of the table until it rolls into a hole. The question that I am trying to answer however is if I can predict how many times the ball will hit a wall before landing in a pocket and also which pocket it will land in. During this problem a learned many different things like where the ball would roll and how many rebounds it would take to roll in a pocket for any given dimension of pool table. I did not however come up with a super formula for the problem but a did find some pretty interesting rules. One
My hypothesis stated walls and partitions will change the path of the steel ball. This is
In the lab of “The Falling Eggs and Automotive Lab”, we had to design a protective device able to hold the egg and allowing it survive from the impact of hitting the ground from the top of the staircase. We did this lab to investigate newton’s Laws and prove how they work. In the lab, we have to observe the forces that act on the egg and evaluate the way they work. We do this lab with an egg to relate to a real life collision with a car. The egg is essentially the person and the device that the egg is in is the Airbag. We use our knowledge about airbags and apply that to this lab in order to make the egg survive and not crack.
The problem to this assignment is to find how many rebounds it takes to hit a
travel 52 feet in .354 seconds… at 110 mph, a ball will travel 52 feet in .321 seconds” (3).
The obstacle starts off with a boxing glove knocking a bowling ball down a inclined plane, which causes the bowling pin attached to a pulley to drop. As the bowling pin falls, a bird cage door pushes pool balls down a few inclined planes, causing the knocking books stacked like dominos. Resulting at the end of the book pile
Crumple zones are designed to absorb the energy from the impact during a traffic collision by controlled deformation. This energy is much greater than is commonly realized. A 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) car travelling at 60 km/h (37 mph) (16.7 m/s), before crashing into a thick concrete wall, is subject to the same impact force as a front-down drop from a height of 14.2 m (47 ft) crashing on to a solid concrete surface. Increasing that speed by 50% to 90 km/h (56 mph) (25 m/s) compares to a fall from 32 m (105 ft) - an increase of 125%. This is because the stored kinetic energy (E) is given by E = (1/2) mass × speed squared. It increases by the square of the impact velocity.
When the speed of the ball increases to 100 mph or more, the launch angle goes up by two or three degrees until there’s an exit velocity of 116 mph. At that point, a ball with a launch angle of eight to 50 degrees is classified as barreled.
Passing is the way to get the ball around in this sport. A major part of the of this action is friction. Air resistance affects the ball, it slows it down and brings it down toward the ground. Rolling friction is shown when you pass the ball, when you pass the ball, the ball rolls over the mesh and releases into the air. The mesh speeds the ball up along with force. Face-offs require a topic called inertia. Inertia is shown
When I approach the lane, 10-pound bowling ball in hand, I try to ease my thoughts. I swing the ball first backward, then forward, my arm full of kinetic energy, as I take my three measured steps toward the black foul line. In a swift motion, the ball is released, and it glides across the oiled pattern planks like it is hydroplaning over a wet narrow road. As the ball makes way towards the center of the lane, it veers too much to the left. The ball will miss the pocket. Crash! All the pins have fallen except for one; my trajectory was off.
What kind of pharaoh was Cleopatra? Cleopatra was a strong leader who could match other leader's skills and abilities during that time. " Like most monarchs of her time, Cleopatra saw herself as divine; from birth she and other members of her family were declared to be gods and goddesses. " She was a very good looking girl that all the men wanted. Cleopatra was a person you would look up to, or wanna be. "
back in a smooth motion and using force to release the ball (science has proven that force
First step is the easiest concept ever and it is placing the on the ground. Your second step is approaching the ball. When
According to the information gather by law enforcement, one morning as Kelly was getting her and Franklins children ready for school, Jerry and Mr. Harrod got into a fight. Tamara ran outside, where she was ordered to get a gun from a trunk by Jerry Trussell. On Jerry que, Tamara shot Franklin Harrod. The next day the Trussell took Franklins body and wrapped it in roofing tarp, and buried in a location near Walnut River. Harrods, wife then filed a missing person report and began disposing of her husband’s vehicle and other belonging. A month following the disappearance of Franklin Harrod, Jerry Wilson made an anonymous report to police about the Trussell’s asking him for a gun. Another person told law enforcement that Jerry Trussell, asked her ex-husband for help disposing the body of Franklin Harrod. However, investigator did not have enough evidence to charge anyone. Also Kelly, and Trussell kept insisting that Franklin simply left.
The main objective of this lab was to measure the friction force it takes to start moving a weighted block across a table, and as it continued to move. This force was tested experimentally in three separate ways. The force was then solved graphically and mathematically through six different runs per method. TALK ABOUT RESULTS HERE.
Empathy is extraordinarily important for children to understand and eventually put into practice, as it exercises their ability to feel and respect the emotions of other people. Empathy also plays a big role in trust and support- both of which are very important aspects of any relationship, and is necessary for living a healthy, functional life in today’s society. In her article, Dovey describes “A 2011 study published in the Annual Review of Psychology […] showed that, when people read about an experience, they display stimulation within the same neurological regions as when they go through that experience themselves.” (Dovey par. 11). This means that when people, or in this case, children, read stories, their brains react as if they were going through the same situations and emotions that they read about. This is a great way for kids to learn about empathy, why it’s important, and how to apply it to their own lives. One may argue that, while reading may trigger empathetic feelings in the majority of people, those who enjoy reading have greater empathetic tendencies than others, making reading to teach empathy only applicable to those who like to read and have these higher-than-average tendencies. Dovey also addresses this, stating that “other studies published in 2006 and 2009 showed […] that people who read a lot of fiction [tended] to be better at empathizing with others (even after the researchers had accounted for the potential bias that people with greater empathetic
