458 wordsAs Steve Prefontaine once said " I like to make people stop and say, Ive never seen anyone run like that before. " True, anybody can run, but not just anybody can run track. There is more to running than just the fast movement of legs. Running takes strength, endurance, and a tremendous amount of guts. There are many races which a track runner can take part in, from the fifty-yard dash to the two mile. Each race falls into a particular category. These categories include the sprinter, the middle ...

Their joint paper (Hubble and Tolman 1935), sets out how galaxy counts, conceptually, could be used to find the curvature of space by direct measurement. The principle is to determine if the volume encompassed within various "distances", appropriately defined, increases at the rate of r[ 3 ], or more rapidly o...

1,324 wordsThe purpose of this lab was to find that gravity of Earth is indeed 9. 8 m / s /s (the The theory, according to Galileo, is that two objects have the same acceleration if dropped from the same height will land at the same time at the speed of 9. 8 m / s /s as long as there is no air resistance. To have an understanding Galileo's theory of acceleration, certain terms and equations must be known. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the time interval which the change of vel...

A stereoscope is a viewing device that presents each eye with a slightly different photograph of the same scene, which generates the illusion of depth. The photographs are taken from slightly different perspectives, one approximating the view from the left eye and the other representing the view from the right eye. The View-Master, a children...

On a standard curve, the distance migrated is used in order to extrapolate the size of the DNA (base pairs). For an undigested or uncut p KAN plasmid it is expected that one fragment will be shown, unless the plasmid has been nicked and then will therefore show three. The size of this fragment should be close ...

Dry Land Physical Fitness
1,554 wordsThere is not much of a life for swimmers. Imagine practicing seven days a week, two times a day for four hours each time in the pool. This is an ongoing process if one desires to become a nationally ranked swimmer. Because swimmers swim all year, their work-outs build up as their competition approaches making it harder to have time of their own. When they get closer to the big meet, swimmers put in more time at the pool and weight room. Since physical fitness along with preparation becomes essen...

Tennis Ball Centrifugal Force
3,996 wordsThe tennis serve is the stroke that puts the ball in play and is often referred to as the most important stroke in the game of tennis. It has become a principle weapon of attack and is used to place the opponent on the defensive by forcing a return from the weak side or by moving the receiver out of position. A good strong serve can sometimes be the basis of winning a game of tennis. I have included eight picture sequences to illustrate the tennis serve. Represented in picture A is the stance of...
