continue those obsessions. The concept of understanding obsessions and coming to terms with them is not an easy task for many people, especially since obsessions can either help people achieve great heights or push them into depression. The memoir “Fever Pitch” by Nick Hornby showcases the obsession with football that the author has and how it has an affect in his life. Although there are many parts throughout the novel that contribute to the whole novel, one scene that is important to the novel is the

changed dramatically. As I will talk about, in my opinion, there are fewer fans that have a true connection with their club which relates to both of this weeks readings: Supporters, Followers, Fans and Fever Pitch. Connecting Supporters, Followers, Fans and Flaneurs by Richard Guilianotti and Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby, it is clear to understand what type of fan Hornby was according to Guilianotti. Hornby clearly displays a strong passion for “his” club, Arsenal, and based off the stories that he tells

Samantha Mackey 13. 2nd hour PHYSICS LAB REPORT: SPEED OF SOUND Purpose: In this lab, we will be doing 3 major things: 1) Collecting and organizing data to obtain resonant points in a closed pipe, 2) measure the length of a closed-pipe resonator, and 3) analyze the data to determine the speed of sound. Procedure: 1. Fill the graduated cylinder nearly to the top with water, with a tall glass tube open at both ends (the water level with act as the closed end). 2. Determine

Math can be seen in all aspects of life, whether you notice it is prevalent or not. As a result, almost every aspect of life can be boiled down to a specific group of mathematical concepts. Similarly, art forms, especially music, can be analyzed through the eye of math and therefore be fully inspected, observing how certain chords and notes sound more harmonious than others. Mathematics and music have a closer relationship than most people realize. Mathematics and music are directly related and

Abstract The purpose of this study was to measure and record the just-noticeable-difference (or JND) thresholds of random participants using their visual-based perception and to replicate and confirm Weber’s Law. Through this four-level single-factor experiment, these participants were asked to compare two lines which were flashed to them on a computer screen. Their objective at that point was to choose which line was longer of the two that were shown, and this was repeated 160 times at four different

with small intervals. It complements the opening oboe well and contributes to the happy spring like opening to the section. When the clarinet chimes in at 2:31 it immediately pierces the ear and takes over the section. The melody goes up once in pitch, and then quickly falls and rises again. The high note is then held for an extended period of time until the clarinet trickles out of the note by descending the scale. This melody is repeated for the whole section by the clarinet. There are some

brain and how it is different from ordinary pitch perception. It will discuss this ability within the context of the nature vs nurture debate. Lastly, it will cover connections found between absolute pitch and other areas of research within the field of sensation and perception, and where additional research might lead. Literature Review A discussion involving absolute pitch first requires some background on how pitch is perceived. One explanation of pitch perception involves place coding. Place coding

In this experiment, lab partners observed standing waves as presented by a sonometer. Students observed the relationships between frequency and length at a constant mass, frequency and tension at a constant length, and tension and linear density at a constant frequency. Our results were reasonable and indicated that the relationships for the first two parts were linear which means as the length decreases, frequency will increases at a constant tension and as tension increases, the squared frequency

Bradford who have unorthodox way to pitch the baseball. Although these guys display different mechanics before each pitch, they still share the basic five steps of pitching that explain the Biomechanical Analysis of the Baseball Pitch. These five steps include: the wind-up, stride, arm cocking, arm acceleration, arm deceleration with follow through. Pitching in itself is a science and this paper will provide a thorough biomechanical analysis of the baseball pitch following all the six steps. The Wind-Up

the person throwing the ball, drag is the air resistance which pushes back against the velocity, and gravity which is constant and pushes the ball down against the upward velocity. Those forces for sure are slowing the pitch, yet it is not an equal force of the energy but into a pitch. When a bat connects with a ball there is a collision and a transfer of energy. When the ball makes it to the catcher then there is another collision and energy is conserved. In a nutshell here is the transfer of energy
