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...

Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart was born July 24, 1897, to a lawyer's family. Her love for aircraft came during the World War I. Amelia was a nurse in the hospital next to the airfield. Not long before the round the world flight Earhart wrote that her two biggest desires were: to be the first woman in transatlantic flight (at least as a passenger) and the first woman-pilot to cross the Atlantic. Both her wishes came true. In June 1928, she flew from the U.S. to England, as passenger. And then four years later, May 20, 1932, she has repeated Continue reading...

Introduction

The purpose of this experiment was to observe collisions between two carts, measure energy changes and classify the collisions. It was hypothesized the momentum would be conserved during the collisions.

- Consider a head on collision between two billiard balls. One is initially at rest and the other moves towards it. Sketch a position vs. time graph for each ball, starting with the time before the collision and ending a shot time afterward
Before collision, ball 2 moves with a constant velocity towards ball 1. Therefore, its position changes with time while the position of ball 1 does not Continue reading...

Nowadays, almost everyone heard at least something about global warming. But, it is not only the change of the climate, but also, the consequences of it. Usually, the term is used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate. However, not every scientist believes the global warming is real. But, the data and facts say the planet is warming.
Interestingly, the humans knew about global warming even in the late 1800s, but did little to prevent it. So, Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION
Various impact dynamic systems have been modelled postulating the expected drilling speed and displacement at given speeds. One of the most basic model [Fig 1(a)] that has been used involves a mass loaded with a force composed of static and harmonic components. Though the model is simple, the model also produces highly complex dynamics where the progression occurs at periodic system response.
However, the stick slip phenomenon observed in this motion of the rock and the drill bit is not analyzed and therefore a more realistic model is required. The other model involves modeling the motion between Continue reading...

Network security is critical in the design of a network infrastructure. This is because such a design ensures that network equipment and devices including access mechanisms prevent unauthorized access. However, such can be implemented by protecting network links, hardening network devices such as routers and switches either through configurations or implementing new levels of security to perform the functions. The technology to be used in enforcing enterprise wide security matters a lot, some such as the Virtual Private Network guarantees security through encryption where data is encrypted and routed over a tunnel across the public network, while at the Continue reading...

Introduction

A turbulent jet is a source of energy and momentum in a fluid tank. A jet is considered fully turbulent at a jet laminar for Rej below about 100 and Reynolds number Rej above about 1’000 – 2’000. Therefore, the limit between a turbulent jet and laminar is around the Reynolds number of 3’000 and the significant characteristics of the jet are its discharge and momentum flux.

Eq. 2; Qj = vjAj – jet volume flux
Rej = vjdjv = jet Reynolds number
Frj = vj√g'dj = densimetric jet Froude number

Where;

Vj is the jet velocity at entry point
Aj is the Continue reading...

“The Day After Tomorrow”, a feature US movie of 2004 directed by Roland Emmerich, was undoubtedly a commercial success. There have been many disaster movies before, but quite a few of its predecessors might have been compared to it in terms of computer effects and quasi realism. The general public liked the effect of the new Judgement Day, and the box office of ‘The Day After Tomorrow” has exceeded 550 million dollars worldwide, while the original budget was around 125 million. The filming took place in the total of 17 locations, including New York City (with a hefty amount Continue reading...

Introduction

Science fiction and disaster films often must take dramatic liberties with science and truth in order to serve a greater narrative purpose; events are compressed, effects are exaggerated, and realism and physics are thrown out the window in order to provide greater drama and spectacle (Revkin, 2004). In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, directed by Roland Emmerich in 2004, the world is subjected to global disasters brought about by climate change. The effects are myriad; global cooling sets New York in a coating of ice and freezing temperatures, glaciers crack and separate, and a “superstorm” is said to Continue reading...
