When a swimmer is poised in a diving stance, as just When a swimmer is before the starting bell in an Olympic competition, the

before the starting swimmers center of gravity is to the front some swimmers center of gravity distance from his or her chest. This is appropriate, since distance from his or the objective is to get into the water as quickly as the objective is to possible once the race starts. Likewise, God is the center possible once the race of our lives. We thank Him for all the blessings we of our lives. We receive and always ask for His protection and guidance receive and always in our daily life. in our daily life.

Roller coasters work due to conservation of energy. The first hill is always the highest one so that it accumulates enough energy to go through all the elevations. As the car goes down, the PE goes down but KE goes up. If added together at any part of the ride, the KE and PE of the car will equal the PE that the car had on the first hill.

The reason why the bouncing ball knocks the block The reason why the bouncing ball knocks the block over is because there is not only one force acting on over is because there is not only one force acting on that block. Because of Newton's third law, we know that block. Because of Newton's third law, we know that for every action there is an equal and opposite that for every action there is an equal and opposite direction therefore ball pushes block, block pushes direction therefore ball pushes block, block pushes ball in both cases. The bouncing ball not only causes ball in both cases. The bouncing ball not only causes that force, the ball will bounce on the block adding that force, the ball will bounce on the block adding another force that causes the block to fall over. another force that causes the block to fall over.

A car does have air bags equip in it. If accidents do A car does have air bags equip in it. If accidents do happen and the air bags do not deploy, then the driver happen and the air bags do not deploy, then the driver and passengers run the risk of stopping their and passengers run the risk of stopping their momentum by means of a collision with the windshield momentum by means of a collision with the windshield or the dashboard. If the driver or passenger should hit or the dashboard. If the driver or passenger should hit the dashboard, then the force and time required to stop the dashboard, then the force and time required to stop their momentum is exerted by the dashboard. Padded their momentum is exerted by the dashboard. Padded dashboards provide some give in such a collision and dashboards provide some give in such a collision and serve to extend the time duration of the impact, thus serve to extend the time duration of the impact, thus minimizing the effect of the force. minimizing the effect of the force.

Fouette Turns. A ballerina turning is an example Fouette Turns. A ballerina turning is an example of conservation of angular momentum. The girl of conservation of angular momentum. The girl extends her leg and arms and that increases her extends her leg and arms and that increases her rotational inertia and therefore decreases her rotational inertia and therefore decreases her rotational velocity since angular momentum is rotational velocity since angular momentum is conserved. conserved.

In balancing a see-saw, if you have two people with In balancing a see-saw, if you have two people with different weights it is impossible to maintain the board different weights it is impossible to maintain the board balanced if they are both sited the same distance from balanced if they are both sited the same distance from the axis of rotation since for a system to be balanced the axis of rotation since for a system to be balanced there needs to be equal torques. To make the board there needs to be equal torques. To make the board balanced with different weights you need to increase the balanced with different weights you need to increase the lever arm of the person with the least weight so that the lever arm of the person with the least weight so that the torques equal. In practice the heaviest person of a seetorques equal. In practice the heaviest person of a seesaw needs to sit close to the center while the lightest one saw needs to sit close to the center while the lightest one sits away from it. sits away from it.

When someone rubs the balloon in someone's head the balloon picks up electrons from the hair and becomes negatively charged. After When someone rubs the balloon in someone's head the balloon picks up electrons from the hair and becomes negatively charged. After that, the balloon is placed against the wall. Because the wall is an insulator the electrons ofof the balloon will not be stolen by the wall, that, the balloon is placed against the wall. Because the wall is an insulator the electrons the balloon will not be stolen by the wall, but but the charges will rearrangea in a way that positive charges will move move to theto the negatively charged balloon, and the negative the charges will rearrange in way that the the positive charges will close close negatively charged balloon, and the negative charges chargeswallthe wall will moveaway from it from it as possible. of the of will move as far as far away as possible.

Both sheets of paper are falling with air resistance; therefore they want to reach terminal velocity. There are two ways you can increase your f air: increasing surface area or increasing speed. The sheets of paper have the same weight, so they need the same f air to reach terminal velocity. The flat sheet of paper has more surface area; therefore it does not need to speed up to gain more f air. The crumpled piece of paper does not have the surface area needed to reach the f air needed, therefore it will speed up in order to reach increase the f air.

Density becomes important anytime someone wants to build something where anytime someone wants to build something where weight and distribution of weight are critical. Ships require ballast to stay weight and distribution of weight are critical. Ships require ballast to stay upright in the water; airplanes use counterweights to ensure they fly correctly. airplanes use counterweights to ensure they fly correctly. Involving density is the fact that ice floats on water, because it is less dense ice floats on water, because it is less dense than water. The principle is attributed to Archimedes. It states that an object is than water. The principle is attributed to Archimedes. It states that an object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the volume of liquid it displaces equal to the weight of the volume of liquid it displaces when placed in the liquid. So, for example, you can make a "boat" out of when placed in the liquid. So, for example, you can make a "boat" out of aluminum foil and float it on water, but if you "crumple" the same piece of it on water, but if you "crumple" the same piece of aluminum foil it sinks when you place it in water
