Rotation”‚ Richard Ray explains the two causes of these rapid changes by saying‚ “As the tides move water around the globe‚ the moment of inertia of the earth changes. By conservation of angular momentum‚ the solid earth changes its rotation rate accordingly. (2) As the tidal currents slow down or speed up‚ they exchange angular momentum with the solid earth‚ which is manifested in the rotation rate.” (Ray). Tides slow Earth’s rotation through slow‚ steady friction and by rapid changes caused by inertia

way that gymnasts bodies do. It is nothing but physics. Angular momentum is the main physics concept used in gymnastics‚ and this can be seen in events like the vault and giant bar. Angular momentum is the term describing the quantity of angular motion possessed by the gymnast. It is also the product of angular velocity. It is made up of the sum of the angular momentum of the body’s segments. The variables that influence angular momentum are the rotational speed of the gymnast‚ point/center of rotation

A car is parked on a hill. In order to keep the car from rolling downhill‚ how great must the static friction acting on the car be? (Hint: Picture each scenario in your mind) equal to the force pulling the car downhill The object is experiencing some kind of friction A force is continuously applied to an object‚ causing it to accelerate. After a period of time‚ however‚ the object stops accelerating. What conclusion can be drawn? A tug-of-war that results in one team pulling the other across

shift from conservation in public lands towards energy production and industry will likely produce significant impacts in the science community‚ environmental and conservation groups‚ recreation users‚ private landowners‚ and private industry. Recent declines in membership with the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA)‚ and the Boy Scouts of America may result in competing national organizations or competition from local groups.

Lesson 1.02 Speed‚ Velocity‚ and Acceleration Speed- measures the amount of distnace traveled in a given amount of time. (Doesn’t measure the direction of the travel) How fast an object is going with respect to a frame of reference. You find speed by dividing distance by time. (Speed = distance/time) Instantaneous speed- the speed you are traveling at that moment‚ instead of an average. Motion- change in position of an object‚ relative to a frame of reference. Frame of reference- place or object

Bernoulli’s Principle states that for an ideal fluid (low speed air is a good approximation)‚ with no work being performed on the fluid‚ an increase in velocity occurs simultaneously with decrease in pressure or a change in the fluid’s gravitational potential energy. This principle is a simplification of Bernoulli’s equation‚ which states that the sum of all forms of energy in a fluid flowing along an enclosed path (a streamline) is the same at any two points in that path. It is named after the
