Introduction

The basic principle of soccer is rather simple: two teams, composed of eleven players each, compete on a rectangular court for control of a spherical ball, with the objective of kicking it into the opposite teams’ goal. The history of soccer goes back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, as evidence of the sport being played in ancient China during those periods has been found. In modern times, soccer is undoubtedly one of the most popular sports in the world, if not the most prevalent, particularly in Europe and the Americas. According to Fifa, the 2014 World Cup ...

Abstract

In this experiment, the young modulus of three beams was investigated these were steel, aluminum and timber. The beams were placed and the deflections values upon addition of various loads at the Centre of the beam taken. There was a variation of the loads across the beam to investigate thee relationship that existed between the loads, the span width, height, and deflections. Measurement of the deflection was therefore done through the dial gauge with three sets of measurements being taken and the average calculated. Different beams were used to enable elaborate comparison of the coefficient of elasticity. Measurement of ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

This article tries to discuss the topic of gender, and it’s manifestation in the society including sex and sex categorization in relation to gender. In the article, gender comes out as society’s construct that is “imposed” on someone depending on their sex. However, the article has also some views that sexual identities are male or female are beyond one’s genitalia (West and Zimmerman 125). The example given is that it is so obvious that the people we meet and call either male of female, we have not seen their genitalia to call them so. In essence, ...

At first glance, the yo-yo – is a simple toy that looks like a spool tied to the end of the rope. However in skillful hands it becomes something extraordinary! Let me try to explore the principles of acting of the yo-yo and find what makes it “behave” in such an unexpected way.

The simplest yo-yo resembles a flattened spool of thread – two disks (yo-yo halves) connected at the center with an axis of a sufficiently large diameter. To an axis there is a rope attached, which wounds around an axis. In the initial position, the rope is wound on the axle ...

- Why does the tilt of the Earth’s axis relative to its orbit cause the seasons as the Earth revolves around the Sun? Draw a diagram to illustrate your answer.

Earth's seasons are the result of the tilt of the Earth's axis. Since the axis is tilted, different parts of the globe are oriented towards the Sun at different times of the year. Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is warmer than winter as the Sun's rays hit the Earth at a comparatively more direct angle for larger portions of the day, producing more heat and vice versa. Due to this very same tilt, when the Sun crosses the Equator it causes the equinoxes.

- Where do you have to be on the Earth to see the Sun at your zenith? If you stay at one such location for a full year, on how many days will the Sun pass through the zenith?

To see the Sun at its Zenith a person can be at a place between 23.5o ...

Strategy is the method through which an organization or an individual will conduct his actions in order to achieve the desired results. Organizations employ unique strategies in order to beat their competitor and also in order to gain competitive advantage. In most cases companies normally keep their strategies as a secret that is known to a few individuals who are responsible for implementing the strategy (Burke 2011, p.45). Strategies are normally kept as a secret because if an organization’s strategy is known by a competitor, the competitor may commence employing measures to counter the effectiveness of the strategy thus the business may ...

Isaac Newton’s story of how an apple falling from a tree that hit his head inspired him to formulate a theory of gravitation is one that all school children grow up hearing about. Newton is arguably one of the most influential scientific minds having ever lived. He has published books such as Arithmetica Universalis, The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, Methods of Fluxions, Opticks, the Queries, and most famously, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. He formulated the three laws of gravitation, discovered the generalized binomial theorem, developed infinitesimal calculus (sharing credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz, who developed the theory independently) and ...

A tight rope walker is able to maintain balance, based on the location of the center of mass above the rope. Stability is improved by the tight rope walker carrying a long pole. The principle behind this concept is in the idea that; with the long pole being flexible the walker can easily swing in either side to maintain a balance. The longer the pole the lower the rate of angular rotation, this therefore allows the walker to re-adjust to balancing state when he begins to lose balance. Contrary to the case of short pole or just bear arms (Temple 3). ...

ABSTRACT

In the vibrating beam experiment, an aluminum cantilever beam was made to vibrate. An accelerometer transducer was used to convert the mechanical vibrations into a signal that was fed into an oscilloscope via a power supply. The oscilloscope mapped the signal into a sine curve and displayed it on the screen. The oscillations’ decay curve was studied and the beam’s damping ratio was determined. The decay curve’s logarithmic decrement was used to determine the beam’s damping ratio and its natural frequency. The beam’s damping ratio was observed to be underdamped at a damping ratio of 0.0066.

Introduction

When objects are accelerated, inertia-forces are generated. This is the case with rotating machine elements. The design of such parts must ensure that they perform their intended work under all the existing combinations of service loads and rotational forces or inertia forces. The rotation of a machine element results in an external vibrating force. The shaking force disturbs the supporting frame of the machine and the adjacent parts. It is also worth to note that the vibration generated by rotating machine elements and consequently the associated noise is also a serious problem to the machine operators. Therefore, it is very important ...

In this part of the experiment, a constant torque was applied to a circular disk that could rotate on a low friction bearing. The disk span up to a higher angular speed. Object of this experiment was to calculate the disk's angular acceleration and relate it ...

Health social determinants are defined by the WHO (World Health Organization) (2012) as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, including the health system. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels, which are themselves influenced by policy choices. The social determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities – the unfair and avoidable differences in health status.” The WHO definition demonstrates the many layers of complex issues that are involved in determining who has good health and who does not have good health. ...

For example, in weather forecasting, use of rain gauges to measure the amount of rainfall at given ...

Abstract

Resistance typically occurs with every minor or major change. At the individual level, people resist change because of fear of change. At the organization’s level, resistance occurs because of the unfavorable organizational settings that work along with individual resistance. Employing Kurt Lewin’s three-step model of change (unfreeze, movement and refreeze) will enable the change agent (usually the manager) to implement change effectively in the organization. Change is synonymous to transformation, alteration, variation, and modification; it connotes a shift from one position, course or direction to another; it also signifies innovation. An organization that is embracing a new technique ...

In physics and in physics it is a belief that ones safety is not related to the speed in which one is travelling or moving in but it is rather how fast you stop. When a collision occurs ones safety will not be based on the speed in which he was moving in before the collision occurred, but rather it would be matter of how fast he stopped when the collision occurred. The urgency in which one stops a moving object during a collision process would dictate the magnitude of the collision. A person who reacts and stops the car ...

One of the generally established positions considering the scientific revolution of the XVII century is that the European science (primarily related to the classical natural sciences) originated from it. It is interesting that it emerged at once in the interrelation of all components: theoretical knowledge, its rationale and mathematical description, experimental testing, social structure with network of scientific communication and public application. Among the phrases that can best show the way of thinking that started acting at that time, there is one William Gilbert wrote in his Preface: “LIFE is a Chemical Process: In that of every Individual there has ...
