Ski jumping involves a lot of skill, and different factors affect how far the ski jumper would jump. Comprehending of the physics principles enable the skiers to execute certain moves. When these factors are manipulated in different scenarios, the desired distance is achieved. The sport of ski jumping requires one to jump the furthest down an inclined slope. It is done by gaining the maximum possible speed one can attain upon takeoff from the ramp. It is achieved by minimizing the frictional drag due to the air resistance between the air and the skier. The air resistance is significantly ...

The air near the surface will usually become warmer throughout the day. This is one of the main reasons why it is unstable. Then at night, the air that is close to the surface will begin to cool. This is going to form a temperature inversion or a stable atmosphere.2. Inversions aloft are sometimes called “capping inversions” or “lids”. Why?

This is because it is like putting a lid on the atmosphere.

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion Energy Source The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Question 1

The vernal equinox occurs in March when the sun appears to be crossing the celestial equator. During this time, the sun is usually heading north. The autumnal equinox occurs in September when the sun crosses the equator as it moves towards the South Pole. On these days, the sun is directly over the equator. This results in equal durations of day and night.

The solstices occur when the earth is at its farthest distance from the sun. It occurs due to the elliptical shape of the earth’s orbit around the sun. This means that there are two solstices ...

Introduction

Aeolian processes occur in environments such as deserts, agricultural fields, and coastal regions. The features of such environments include a nonexistent or sparse vegetation cover, strong winds, and a supply of fine sediments. In Egypt, the increase in human population has led to the lateral spread of human settlements from the Nile’s flood plains to various locations in the western desert land. Such areas include the Kharga Oasis, where the government has initiated land reclamation projects for agriculture and human settlements. However, the developmental plans have missed the issue of natural hazards such as dune movements. Hence, the success of such ...

The art project I have chosen for my image is ‘the absurd’. This choice arises from the ability of drawings to communicate, or present hidden messages. Absurd images are hard to understand and find use where the artist intends to communicate to a limited group of people with sufficient background to certain information. The image I have chosen for this project falls under the category of absurd. The image employs a good use of colors, depth and shapes, without achieving a straightforward interpretation by a lay observer. I utilized various drawing skills to create the ambiguous image. The use of lines draws ...

Introduction to Wave

Wave motion is known as transfer and moving energy from one point to another, wave is also referred as oscillation or disturbance that travels along the matter or space. There are two categories of waves they include transverse and longitudinal waves. In longitudinal wave particles of the medium are displaced in a direction parallel to the energy transferred while in a transverse wave particles of the medium are displaced in a direction perpendicular to the direction of energy transferred (Hewitt & Paul, 35). Waves can be moved along ropes across the surface of strings and water. Some waves can travel through space. ...

In following paragraphs light and its various properties have been discussed. Light is electromagnetic radiation having properties of waves. It does not require a medium to travel through and for this reason light is able to travel through vast vacuum of space. Light ...

Assignment 2.

Concerning the circle of Hell I would send him to, as Dante, it might have been the second circle, meaning the one responsible for lust and where sinners were hunted by horrible storm. On the other hand, I think it would be too mild because Dante's perception of lust is more connected with love and obsession with one's beloved one, rather than an act of dominance and possession of one' will and freedom. So, I would place him in the Seventh circle for violence because he committed violence against those women he raped. I would place him in the ...

1. One line is parallel to another if the two have the same slope, thus they don’t intersect (Young, 2010). Therefore, to find a line parallel to a given line, it is firstly necessary to establish that the lines have the same slope. The slope value helps to construct a general equation of the lines parallel to the given one. For y=-2x+4 with the slope equal to -2, all parallel lines have the form y=-2x+b, where b is the y-intercept of the equation (the line intercepts y-axis b units away from the origin). Since the line sought passes through a point represented by ...

Polarized Sun Rays

Light wave has two components, the magnetic and electric components. These components are mutually perpendicular. The electric component forms the plane of oscillation for the wave. When an atom emits light wave in a single event, such wave has a fixed plane of oscillation. When several atoms emit light waves, the waves may not have same plane. Sun ray consists of various light waves, each with different planes of oscillation, and there is a random change in the light’s direction. This kind of light is unpolarized. When light is polarized, the waves come in with the electric and magnetic field ...

Painting #1 Composition With Grid 1 1918 Piet Mondrian Oil On Canvas Essay Examples

The Dutch art group “de Stijl” (the Style) was one of the first Abstract art movements and had some of the strictest rules. Through the use of pure geometry, this school of thought wanted to join the spiritual and material realms. In the case of Mondrian’s art, this junction took the form of a variety of grid patterns, made of vertical and horizontal lines and designed to symbolize worldwide harmony. The perpendicular lines forming junctions was, to him, a way to express the notions of the spiritual meeting those of the material.

In this painting, it looks like Mondrian has ...

Abstract

Patterns of Surface Ocean Currents

Surface currents are found in the upper four hundred meters of an ocean body and they form major patterns such as eddies, upwelling, and gyres (Garrishon, 2007). Surface currents result from wind energy that is concentrated in both north and south hemispheres forming trade winds which are easterlies and westerlies (Garrishon, 2007). Waves on the sea surface transfer some of the energy from the moving air to the water by friction. Pulling of wind on the surface of ocean causes an accumulation of water with the water displaced underneath the wind forming the movement. ...

Introduction

Taxicab geometry is a better idealized model for urban geography as compared to Euclidean geometry. This is very applicable in urban planning where distances within the roads are divided within rigid blocks and the shortest distance cannot be the hypotenuse. This is very helpful in establishing the shortest distance between any two points. ( Surhome, Timpledon & Susan). Geometry can be traced back over 2000 years. This is solely refers to Euclidean geometry introduced by Euclid. A German mathematician Hermann Miknowski proposed taxicab geometry. He had the proposition that distances in taxicab geometry is different than in Euclidean geometry. His ...
