Fluffy white snow glistened on the ground a few weeks before Christmas, 2007. I have never been a fan of the cold, losing feeling in my limbs or wet saggy clothes, but I was determined to trudge my way to Potter’s Golf Course to sled ride with friends. That determination was shot down quickly, as Grandpa’s rusty, red Ford pick-up truck eased into the steep driveway. Excited to be out of school and out of the house for the day, I bolted out the door and right into Grandpa. He shrugged off the collision
do it. However, one way you can make this is by using twelve wooden dowels, eight craft sticks, sixty rubber bands, one wooden
Take your data packet and pencil, then go to your lab station with a lab partner. 2. Take out a triple beam balance, graduated cylinder, long pipette, beaker, a wooden dowel, calculator and a centimeter ruler. 3. Find the mass(weight) of your graduated cylinder using the triple beam balance, and record it in your data packet. This will be the same for all liquids. 4. Go to the supply cart with the graduated cylinder and
Hooke's Law I have designed the experiment to measure spring constants when the springs are in series and in parallel. The theory is based on Hooke's law which is: F = kx where F = Force, k = Constant and x = Extension [Ref. 1]. Unfortunately with the springs I have, I can only measure extension, not compression for which Hooke's is also valid. Prediction Single Spring: Hooke's law, where F = kx. I predict that I if I plot Force on the Y axis and extension, x, on the X axis
We first bought materials, including foam board, dowel rods, moss, popsicle sticks, and paint. We also assembled glue sticks, glue guns, and paint brushes. The first day we met at Evan’s house. We made a sketch by researching the actual dimensions and creating a scale model. After that, we went to Evan’s
Two pieces of dowel rod was cut out to 740 and 385. Next a piece of (material for sail) was cut out to form a simple sail shape of dimensions of, 760 by 400 to account for that the edges would wrap around the mast and boom. Duct tape was used to keep the wrapped edges
The Taj Mahal The Taj Mahal is a complex of astonishing visualization. People from all walks of life have a fascination with the Taj Mahal. No matter what nationality, preference of religion or lifestyle, people will be mesmerized by this breath taking complex. (Ahmed A. 1993). Scholars, Scientist Geologist, Historians, Poets, photographers, and painters all elaborated in discussion and contributed their opinions pertaining to this wonder of the world. Studies also have been conducted by geologist
Have you ever thought why robotic hands were invented? And who introduced this idea? First, at 1960s Dr.Engelberger invented the first robotic hand and the function of this hand is similar to the human hand. However, some researchers are trying to develop on it so it can be easily used by people with disabilities to do certain tasks. Robotic hands can give back hope to those who lost it. Moreover, it can be used by normal people to perform their tasks like doing house chores or helping them with
down another small tube, landing in a pulley in which the other end of the pulley goes up triggering a marble to be detached from a groove in a piece of wood. 6. The marble is triggered and rolls down a hot wheels ramp, down an incline plane with dowel rods guiding it in a zigzag motion eventually being tunneled into a wheel and axle with a detached ramp. 7. The ramp (or inclined plane) is pushed down (since it 's tied to a wheel and axle) by a marble which causes it to fall down onto another inclined
The Non-Traditional structure that I chose to design is a log home. When doing research on styles of construction I was a little overwhelmed with the options that are available for construction methods. The first thing I needed to find out is what type of footing and foundation is needed to support the immense weight of the logs. An 8"x16" footing and 8" foundation is sufficient enough to support the weight of a log home. There are three different options available for supporting the floor joist
The study selected the Eames famous design to talk about the impact of the social. Firstly, I will introduce the Eames’ background. Secondly, I will introduce some of their futures. Thirdly, I will talk more about the Eames house. Finally, I will talk about what I had inspired from them. If good design is the collision of creativity, hard work and a bit of serendipity, then the Eames' design can proudly bear the title. Charles and Ray Eames are well-known for their assistance to furnishings and
Greek Architecture: The Parthenon First of all, one of the most impressive accomplishments of Ancient Greece is the extraordinary structure of the Parthenon on the Acropolis. The Parthenon is one of the most inspiring works of architecture known to humankind. The Parthenon is like the crown jewel of Athens. It is named after the mighty goddess Athena Nike Parthenos daughter of Zeus. She is the goddess of war, wisdom, and heroism. The Goddess Athena is one of the more significant
Cutting Force- It is the force which has to act on stock material in order to cut out the blank or slug. It determines the capacity of the press to be used for the particular tool. Cutting force = L X S X f(max) Where, L= Length of periphery to be cut in mm. (perimeter) S= Sheet thickness in mm. f (max) = shear strength of stock material in N/mm2 Method of reducing press force- In some cases it is necessary to reduce cutting force to prevent press overloading.Following are the methods
The History of Water Pipes The earliest known evidence of a pipe being used for plumbing was found in Mesopotamia it is estimated to have been made around 3000 BC. The pipes were made from clay mixed with short lengths of straw. This was the first type of pipe to be used to transport water from different places. Both brass and copper pipes have been found in Egypt believed to have been constructed close to 2500 BC. The Romans used lead pipes, extensive use of lead pipe by joining sheets of lead into
to a10-foot 3.0 m elevated track. The Peach basket had its bottom still so you had to get the ball out of the basket manually this proved inefficient, however, so the bottom of the basket was removed, allowing the balls to be poked out with a long dowel each time. They use to play basketball with a soccer ball back in that time,These round balls from association football were made, at the time, with a set of laces to close off the hole needed for inserting the
This case involved a 53 year old man who sustained a significant tear of his rotator cuff while playing baseball. He underwent surgical repair and was given a referral for physical therapy. The referral was to begin passive ROM 3 times per week for 2 weeks then initiate a supervised home program of active exercise for 2 weeks, and elastic resistance exercises for internal and external rotation every other day for a month. 2 weeks after surgery, he had his first PT visit in a sports medicine clinic
crouch thing stance AND somehow crossing your legs at the same time. Then, you release it the bowling ball. Your stance is not the only skill you need to master, oh no, you have to aim. Now it’s different for every bowler some examples may include dowels at the foul line, arrow, diamonds on the lane, reflections of the pins to attempt to roll
middle of paper ... ...ing Greek originals in bronze and was collected by art lovers. Marble was mined by bow drills in shapes of large blocks. A smaller block of marble would make parts of the statue. Then the sculptors connected statues with dowels and use a small hand drill and chisels to make smaller details. Then, the sculptors would use rough powders to smooth the sculpture. Lastly, the artist will then attach the sculpture to a platform and then added paint on the statue. Accessories were
Fireworks How do fireworks produce their brilliant colors and loud bangs? To produce the noise and flashes, an oxidizer (an oxidizing agent) and a fuel (reducing agent) are used. The oxidizer oxidizes the fuel in a very exothermic reaction which produces a brilliant flash and a loud report from the rapidly expanding gases produced. For a color effect, an element with a colored emission spectrum is included. Electrons in atoms can be raised to higher-energy orbitals when the atoms absorb
Hundreds of thoughts swarm through my head, as I think of potential car and launcher designs. It was the beginning of 8th grade. A new year of middle school, a new year of Science Olympiad, a new year of studying for my events, and a new year of challenges: my first building event, Scrambler. I’ve always been interested in science, specifically medicine, ever since I was 7 or 8. I read a book called When I Grow Up, I Want to Be a Doctor, which inspired me to aspire to become a doctor. Ever since
