Essays on Speed

Introduction

There comes a time when we feel that we know enough of a subject. It happens that knowing too much of a subject may make us feel confused, and we find ourselves unable to answer a simple question related to the subject conclusively. Speed limit and its effect on accidents is one such subject that we believe we know enough about but still find ourselves mumbling in uncertainty whether or not it is good or bad. Our common sense says that a speed limit is good. Otherwise, people will start driving at insanely high speed adding to the number Continue reading...

Introduction

Wrestling is a combat sport in which two opponents with the help of different grappling techniques like throws and takedowns, clinch fighting, pins, and joint locks try to obtain and maintain a superior position (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2014). Wrestling is a form of ancient martial art that was very popular in the Olympic Games in ancient Greece. It is believed that the ancient Greeks developed wrestling in order to prepare soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. After the Greeks were defeated by the Romans, wrestling was borrowed by the Romans who modified the sport by eliminating much of the brutality of the Continue reading...

I selected speed and accuracy as my topic because both abilities are critical in the majority of popular sports today and useful in many other movement-based skills. However, speed and accuracy often contradict each other, so it is hard to execute together. Most models and research papers consider those two abilities opposite and emphasizing one should result in trading off the other, and Fitts’ law explains that target size and movement distance are the factors responsible for that trade off.
Although there are apparent tradeoffs between speed and accuracy, a better understanding of both abilities and how they can Continue reading...

Man has long desired to conquer the skies due to his incapacity to take flight like birds and reach unimaginable speeds possible while in flight. This desire had led man to creating machines that mimicked flight, leading to the development of aviation and air transportation. With human flight now made possible through aviation, the desire to reach the speed that exceeds the speed of sound had fueled research even further to understand how it could be attained through aircrafts, automobiles and artillery. For years, several attempts have been done to reach this speed of sound or break the so-called “ Continue reading...

Calls for reforms of the National speed limit in the transport sector have been a debatable issue for many years. Whilst the government attempts to determine the required limits on the roads, citizens have also given their views on the same. Despite the full devolution signed in 1995, whether or not national laws should regulate speed limits is still a predicament. On October 29, 2008, The New York Times published an article dubbed “An Old Refrain: Slow Down” Written by Jeffrey J. Selingo, the article finds basis on the speeding problems along American highways and the ideologies motorists have Continue reading...

Physical Science Review

29. The Difference between Velocity and Acceleration
Velocity is the speed rate that is measured in one instant, while acceleration is the measurement of speed change. For example, a truck if a truck is traveling 20 kilometers per one hour, then its velocity is 20km/hr but of the truck driver puts their foot down and the truck starts to speed up, the truck experiences acceleration.

High speed trading is an illegal practice by some firms that involves the acquisition of useful information in investing, prior to knowledge of the same by other equally important market players. It usually involves the masking of information such that some participants are unaware of such information hence discriminating them from any financial benefits.
It may involve the creation of an illusion of rampant activity in the stock market through placement and cancelling of transactions. This may give the impression that such a market is lucrative to a potential investor. This significantly affects the exchange. Potential investors who are Continue reading...

Abstract

The events of an accident that students watched in a YouTube clip were followed by some questions to these students. The question about how fast the cars were going before they smashed into each other resulted into higher estimates of speed than when the verb was replaced with hit. On conducting another test on the same participants a week later, the probability that the participants who received the verb smashed recalled seeing glass after the accident was higher than that of the participants who received the verb hit. These disparities in the answers are consistent with the view that Continue reading...

Introduction

The subject about time and how time travels is really very fascinating. What is time? What is time travel? Is time travel really possible? We naturally know what time is since we sense it every day but we cannot seem to completely define it. The question of time travel is also very hard to answer. A deeper question is to ask if time is real. Another is to know if time just moves into one direction only. Does time have a beginning or an end? Up to now, we have never truly answered these questions with great satisfaction. By Continue reading...

Introduction

The cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus) is the fastest land animal with a widely quoted speed of 71 miles per hour or 32ms-1 however time trials under controlled circumstances show that the top speed is somewhere around 29ms-1 or 64 miles per hour (Sharpp, 1997). The Cheetah is uniquely adapted for speed and very few other land mammals can boast of such physiological specializations. Cheetah is a member of the group Felidae and they are unique in many ways. To start with, the African cheetah is the only species in the genus Acinonyx. Out of the 37 species in the cat Continue reading...

Introduction to Operations Management

Introduction
Any self-sustaining organization, whether public or private that endeavors to generate enough revenue in order to offset the cost of operations and make profit must set specific objectives for its operations. Operations performance managers utilize different performance objectives in order to track and monitor the performance of their respective organizations. It is upon the manager to decide whether the priorities of the organization demand a balanced approached towards the performance objectives or a focused approach where the operations manager focuses on one of the five performance objectives (Kachru, 2007, pg.271).
Besides the priorities of the organization, this decision Continue reading...

Speed Limits

There have been so many road accidents in the US caused by things like drunken driving, over speeding and texting while driving. Surprisingly, several states have increased their speed limit even after they have witnessed so many deaths caused by road accidents. IIinois is the latest state to come up with a bill that proposes an increment in the speed limit to about 70 mph on certain parts of its roads. However, this move has raised concern because those states that have raised their speed limits have experienced an increase in injuries and deaths on their roads. According to Continue reading...

In this paper I summarize, analyze, and critique "Can science prove that God does not exist.", by Theodore Schick Jr, on pages 484 to 487, a contemporary issue in Chapter 5 of the textbook. I discuss it with references to the chapter in MLA format. A short summary of the argument is provided, and then analysis is conducted on two underlying assumptions. Analysis of the assumptions is the type of analysis that is necessary to understand philosophy in these different contemporary issues. Often the actual logic used is sound; however, the underlying assumptions for the logic are typically not Continue reading...

Introduction

The special theory of relativity is a theory proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905 that illustrates light and matter propagation at high speeds.

Einstein’s theory is based on two main ideas:

The principle of relativity: stipulates that the law of physics is invariable for anything that is in constant motion.
The principle of speed of light: stipulates that the speed of light is also constant for any object in any point from which it is being referred. This means that it the same for various observers regardless of their movement in relation to the source of light. Einstein established this principle after noticing a rational flaw in Continue reading...

Introduction

The purpose of this experiment was to determine the speed of sound at room temperature using the microphone connected to a computer. Sound travels at a speed which is comparatively higher than the speed many objects. Consequently, the determination of speed of sound is technically challenging task. Most experiments rely on echo which is a reflection of sound to estimate this speed. The speed of sound at standard atmospheric pressure and temperature of 0º C is 331.5m/s. The experimental value of the speed of sound is expected to be less than the accepted value because low winter temperatures.

Introduction:

Operations management is not about differentiating different functions or aspects; rather it is about integrating the various aspects of an operation so that the energy created is higher. It should thus be guaranteed that the various parts of an operation come together to create the synergy that is required for the success of the operations. So, if I were the operations manager in charge of a company’s operations performance, I would emphasize on all the five performance objectives. That is, I would make sure that all the objectives; quality, speed, dependability, flexibility and cost, are integrated in a Continue reading...

1a) Slack, Chambers, & Johnston describe five performance objectives, or factors to be considered, for job design (2007). The first of these is quality, as the ability of employees to provide high quality goods and services is impacted by job design. Certainly providing high quality grocery goods and services is important to this business. Extremely high quality can provide real differentiation for a business (Brittin, 2013). The second objective is speed. There are jobs where speed is imperative, such as emergency personnel. Although less important than in medical emergencies, speed is a factor in the grocery business, if just to Continue reading...
