The Physics of Automobile Accidents
Automobile accidents happen all around us. We see cars in the middle of the road after just rear ending each other. We see cars driving around town with big dents in them. Do you ever stop to wonder how car accidents happen? Physics; that’s how they happen. There are several aspects of physics that apply to automobile accidents.
An aspect of physics that is applicable to automobile accidents is kinetic energy. Kinetic energy can be defined as the energy of motion. The equation for kinetic energy is:
KE=1/2mv^2
Kinetic energy behaves a bit differently depending on the type of collision: elastic or inelastic.
In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is always conserved. Nearly all of the kinetic energy is transferred from the first object to the second. Thus, when two cars collide, all the kinetic energy would be conserved; no energy would be lost. The objects in an elastic collision “bounce” apart when they collide. The only time that an elastic collision occurs in an automobile accident is when the vehicles collide at a slow sp...
Clothing is an aspect of mise-en-scène in Do the Right Thing, (Spike Lee, 1989) that is sometimes overlooked by the average filmgoer, but each person’s clothing in the film is hand selected by Spike Lee, as most clothing decisions have a symbolic meaning. A Theater of Interruptions, by Sharon Willis, is a mise-en-scène analysis that makes articulate observations about the film as a whole and also mentions the significance of clothing throughout the film. This analysis goes into detail regarding symbols and slogans that are representative of the director’s ideals. Two articles of clothing that are worn by characters in the film are Clifton’s Larry Bird shirt and Mookie’s Jackie Robinson jersey. The athletes on the jerseys are metaphors for each of those characters’ situations in the film. Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing, addresses societal racism through clothing, in the late 1980’s with a narrative that consists of racial tension on a blistering summer day.
Spike Lee is a filmmaker who has generated numerous controversial films that unapologetically bring delicate social issuest o the media forefront. He honestly portrays life's societal obstacles. He challenges the public to cogitate on the world's glitches and disunion. Spike Lee created a name for himself with films such as Do the Right Thing (1989) and Malcolm X (1992), and with documentaries such as 4 Little Girls (1997) and When the Levees Broke (2006). Lee’s goal was to portray African Americans in a more accurate light. Even today Lee still produces films that directly address modern society's most significant historical movements and episodes. His productions analyze themes of race and discrimination. His work can be analyzed in academic studies such as Philosophy, African Studies, and literary concepts. I am interested in Spike Lee because his craft and career choice is somewhat similar to my future career endeavors. He not only exalted his skills to produce films but he broke barriers of stereotypical Hollywood movies. His works address issues in society such as political, racial, and environmental influences on African American culture. Given that society has evolved into a technology dependent culture; using this talent to visibly shed light to these concerns is an ability I hope to obtain one day.
Investigate the contemporary body of knowledge that underpins the current recommendations for exercise programming in the pursuit of improved health.
Tension Pneumothorax requires immediate attention. A needle or chest tube needs to be inserted into the chest cavity to release the pressure as soon as possible. If an evacuation is going to take a long period of time you may have to do this procedure yourself. That is not recommended though.

The film Do the Right Thing was directed by Spike Lee and came out in 1989. Not only did Spike Lee direct it, he starred in the film playing the character Mookie. The film addresses racism and police brutality problems in our society, and watching this film 26 years later, one can still relate to these problems today. Do the Right Thing still impacts today, because what happened in the film and what the film addresses still happens today throughout America. Even though times have changed some things haven’t changed as much as we thought it would.
Why do car accidents really happen? Well there are many reasons for car accidents some examples Are
...ect for the 1kg and 1.5kg weights as the momentum before the collision did not equal to the momentum after the collision. This is because of experimental error that prevented the experiment from being an isolated system and thus the Law of Conservation of Momentum could not be executed.
“The main concept is that exercise (a term we will use generically to cover both exercise training and physical activity) does more than change traditional ‘risk factors’ (blood lipids, hypertension, diabetes, etc.; Mora et al. 2007; Green et al. 2008). In this context, there is a ‘risk factor gap’, and exercise appears to be far more productive than it should be based on changes in traditional risk factors alone.”

During everyone 's lifetime, there is always something we hold closest to our hearts; it maybe our principles we live by, values, and even our own beliefs. Values are those things that are very important to us but never really realize how much we actually value them in our life. Have you ever been asked to define three of your main values and rip them up? I have and I never noticed how much they meant to me. Each and every one of us believes in our own personal values. These values are what gives us strength and strive us to do what makes us happy. These values are very important to us and are standards that we live by whether we realize it or not. Everyone has something we value including me. Some of the values I might think highly of,
One of the best ways in how people can improve their overall mood, keep their bones healthy and even live longer, is by being an active person. Fred DeVito stated that “if it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn 't change you”; however most people just want exercise just to have a fit body and be healthier without knowing great results. Other effects that exercise has into the body are normalization of glucose, insulin and leptin levels. In other words not only will it make the appearance in a person’s life to look great, but their entire body will have an extraordinary response. In order to have a more fulfilling and enjoyable life, those who are out of shape should participate in regular fitness schedule reginert.
Understanding who we are as individuals can be a struggle for people throughout life. It can be difficult to comprehend who we are and why we exist. There are daily outside influences that help create who we are and what our values are. Values play a significant role in our lives. They shape the choices we make and reveal a big part of our identity to the world. Some values may be more important than others, but they still manage to influence our lives in one way or another, whether we know it or not. Values can range from a tangible item to an idea that has influenced us to stand by and remember those values. The values we hold with the highest importance act as a guide and help us prioritize our purpose and goals in our daily life. My family has taught me a list of values and traits that have helped me become a well-rounded individual. I value my family more than anything because most of my core inner values have started from their teachings at one point or another. My top values that I have developed from my family are dedication, honesty, and wisdom. I will discuss who I am in terms of the important values that shape my personal belief system and decision making framework that, in essence, describes the direction of my life.
