Chapter 1, Problem 9IP
Two schoolchildren race across a playground for a ball. Tim starts running at a distance of 15 m from the ball, and Jan starts running at a distance of 12 m from the ball. If Tim’s average speed is 4.2 m/s and Jan’s average speed is 4.0 m/s, which child will reach the ball first? Show how you arrived at your answer

You should focus on seeing the trend. Keep the same scaled axes for all yourgraphs, as the three graphs should line up and match up with each other. Your data (plot) points don’t needto be perfectly accurate (remember, you want to visually show the general trends). LH and FSH go on the top graph, estrogen and progesterone in the middle, and endometrium thickness on the bottom graph. * Make sure you use 2 different colours for FSH/LH and estrogen/progesterone. - Now, refer to the data (and graphs). On what day(s) does the hormone LH surge? Suggest a possible function of LH and how you know this based on the data that you graphed.arrow_forward

This movement will be the focus of this discussion, several other discussions, and the topic for your biomechanical analysis of movement paper due at the end of the trimester. Identify what movement you will be analyzing. For this movement, identify one body part that is undergoing angular motion and describe the angular motion occurring. Identify the rigid body, the axis of rotation, and the plane through which motion is occurring. During the execution of the movement, what is the approximate total angular displacement, and is the angular displacement in the positive or negative direction?arrow_forwardDIFFERENTIATE GYMNASTICS AS A SPORT AND AS A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.
