that by their very nature require speed such as skiing where injuries don’t have to occur. However‚ there are other sports that demand deliberate even delicate moves‚ such as rock climbing‚ where speed gained from a fall could be deadly. In any event‚ people just don’t experience major trauma unless high velocity is involved. Three of the most common outdoor activities where injuries from high velocity occur are mountain biking‚ skiing and rock climbing. Mountain Bike Injuries The National

Module 2 Honors Extension: The Physics in Swimming Physics is defined as the branch of science concerning the study of matter and energy and the interactions between the two. Physics tries to explain the nature of the world around us‚ how things happen and why. Swimming displays some physical properties‚ such as buoyancy‚ drag resistance and propulsion. We swimmers are at a constant battle to stay afloat‚ while fighting through the water and propelling ourselves forward‚ and we do so using technique

downhill skiing when I was 11 years old. My mom had randomly brought some of my siblings and myself to Buena Vista. Buena Vista is a decent sized ski lodge by Bemidji‚ Minnesota. That was the first time I had been there or to any ski lodge or resort. We all had loads of fun and loved it right away. We could not get enough of it. As I grew older‚ I continued to ski at Buena Vista a few times each winter. For mine and Rena’s birthday‚ we brought some of our friends to go downhill skiing for their

The Importance of Physics to Society Physics - the study of matter‚ energy and their interactions - is an international enterprise‚ which plays a key role in the future progress of humankind. The support of physics education and research in all countries is important because: 1. Physics is an exciting intellectual adventure that inspires young people and expands the frontiers of our knowledge about Nature. 2. Physics generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances

I absolutely love jumping on the trampoline but I never really thought there was any physics involved. I knew you had to use a force to jump up and gravity pulls you back down obviously. An American inventor named George Nissen first invented the trampoline in 1935. (Silvia) A trampoline is defined as an elastic disc of hard canvas held up by metal springs attached to a metal skeletal frame. Kinetic and Potential energy allow you to be able to jump on a trampoline. PE=mgh this equation helps you

The independent variable is the rise of the ramp‚the dependent variable whether or not the marble will loop the loop. The underlying principle of all roller coasters is the law of conservation of energy. When a roller coaster crests the first big hill‚gravity takes over. Potential energy is sometimes known as positional energy. As the roller coaster falls is has enough kinetic energy to make it through the remainder of the ride. Inertia keeps the object in motion. The other forces bring the roller

Then the boat started to accelerate again and I straightened my legs right as I was out of the water. I was skiing‚ the biggest smile went across my face as I looked up to see my grandpa pumping his fist with joy and my grandma had a big smile on her face also. At that point I wasn’t even thinking about skiing I was just thinking about how proud I was and how awesome I felt. From that moment on‚ every time I do something that takes a little courage I think
