![]() ![]() So if the initial velocity is +5, then the final velocity has to be -5. However, we should easily see that the projectile was at first going up, but then it finishes by going down, thus we have to write the y component of the final velocity with the opposite sign of the y component of the initial velocity. And since the starting and ending points have the same elevation, we can then assume that the projectile has equal speed at those two points. ![]() We assume this to be true since we are also assuming that there is no air resistance. So we choose the final velocity to be just before it hits the ground.Īnd what is the final velocity before it hits the ground? Well, the projectile does not lose any energy while from the time right after it is launched to the time just before it lands. ![]() Fortunately, this problem can be solved just with the motion of the projectile before it hits the ground, so we don't need to concern ourselves with anything after that. Then only after it hits the ground will it have zero velocity, but hitting the ground will introduce another force to this system, and we would need to use more equations to describe its motion. Just before it hits the ground, the projectile has some downward speed. So we should only apply them to the motion of the projectile right after it is thrown and right before it hits the ground. This means that the only force acting on it is the force of gravity. Not on purpose, anyway.The equations that we are using to solve this problem only apply when the projectile is in free fall. Of course, a vertical punt doesn't help much with field position, so you're not likely to see a 90-degree punt on the football field anytime soon. That means that the best way to launch a high-altitude projectile is to send it flying at a 90-degree angle to the ground-straight up. As mentioned above, the sine function reaches its biggest output value, 1, with an input angle of 90 degrees, so we can see that for a sky-high punt θ = 90. So to send a projectile flying as high as it can go, you can see that you want to make (sin(θ))² as large as possible, which simply means making sin(θ) as large as possible. (Anyone looking to loft a projectile as high as possible would simply launch it as fast as possible, and gravity is constant.) Once again, we can ignore v and g, for the same reasons as above. A projectile, in other words, travels the farthest when it is launched at an angle of 45 degrees.īut what about trying to maximize a projectile's height to increase hang time? In a parabola the peak height attained by a projectile is equal to (sin(θ))² X v²/2g. The sine function reaches its largest output value, 1, with an input angle of 90 degrees, so we can see that for the longest-range punts 2θ = 90 degrees and, therefore, θ = 45 degrees. You can see from the equation above that the distance traveled by the ball will be greatest when sin(2θ) is greatest. The only choice he has to make to maximize distance, then, is the angle at which he kicks the ball. Second, for a punter trying to boot a ball as far as possible, you can assume that he is kicking as hard as he physically can, so v depends simply on how hard he can kick, not on any strategic decision for a given punt. First, because the force of gravity is constant, g will be the same no matter how a punter kicks the ball. That may look like a complicated equation, but a couple of the variables can be ignored. For any projectile under gravity's influence, the distance attained during its flight is equal to sin(2θ) X v²/g, where v is the projectile's initial speed, g is the acceleration toward Earth due to gravity and θ is the angle at which the projectile is launched. Parabolas have been studied for millennia, and their properties are well understood. (In real life a projectile's flight is affected not only by gravity but by wind and drag from air resistance, so the parabola would not be perfect.) Like all projectiles, a football, once released, follows a path known in mathematical terms as a parabola-a symmetric arc that eventually returns the ball back to the ground. Earth's gravitational pull makes long-range passing a challenge and pulls down even the hardest-struck punts and placekicks.īecause gravity is a constant, experienced quarterbacks and kickers can account for its effects to move the ball downfield as efficiently as possible. In any football game both teams square off against each other and against a shared opponent as well-gravity. In the Projectile Motion episode of NBC Learn's "The Science of NFL Football," you see that punted footballs travel in an arc known to mathematicians as a parabola. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are some things to avoid when shopping for meal replacements: Too Much Added Sugar Ingredient quality counts, and this is where the majority of meal replacements take a turn for the worse. But the macronutrient content only paints part of the picture. Just about every meal replacement shake qualifies as a "complete meal," meaning it provides a moderate amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates (the three macronutrients). Why Are (Some) Meal Replacement Shakes Bad? With that in mind, let's take a look at which ingredients and quality features that separate the good meal replacement shakes from the bad. And if you're not careful, you might wind up drinking a meal replacement shake that's loaded with added sugar, saturated fat, and cheap vegetable oils. However, there are plenty of not-so-great meal replacement powders on the market with lackluster protein content, minimal fiber, and quite a few calories per serving (e.g., 400 calories and just 15 grams of protein). Some of these formulas are high in protein and fiber while being relatively low in calories, making them suitable for those who want to lose weight. Since meal replacement powders are dietary supplements, each product has its own ingredient profile and formulation. ![]() When you're focusing on weight loss, meal replacement shakes can help.or hurt. Are Meal Replacement Shakes Good for Weight Loss? Though the science behind drinking such amalgamations to " detox the body" and lose weight remains tenuous. ![]() There is no clear-cut way of categorizing juicing and healthy smoothies these terms are generally used to refer to homemade concoctions of plant-based ingredients that provide a high amount of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) for "cleansing" purposes. Hence, meal replacements pack more of a punch than pure protein shakes. On the contrary, a "protein shake" more properly refers to a shake made with just protein powder, meaning it has few carbs and fats. Meal replacement shakes are not to be confused with things like "protein shakes," " mass gainers," "nutrition shakes," "juicing," or "healthy smoothies."Ī "meal replacement shake" is essentially a complete meal that comes in a powder form (or pre-mixed liquid). Meal replacements (meal replacement powders) and protein shakes (protein powders) are two widely consumed supplemental sources of nutrients that commonly are mistaken as being the same. Difference Between Meal Replacements and Protein Shakes We'll get you up to speed on the ingredients to look for (and avoid) in a meal replacement powder (MRP). Of course, not all meal replacements are created equal. A quality meal replacement shake will get the job done without interrupting the flow of your work or class schedule.Įven better, the best meal replacement shakes can be pretty darn satisfying and delicious. Thankfully, you don't need to carry 10 pieces of Tupperware with you every day just to meet your nutrient needs. Life is stressful enough as is, so we can empathize. It's not uncommon for people to neglect their health and fitness goals simply because they are too busy to prepare nutritious meals ahead of time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Terrence's son, D.K., is a sophomore wide receiver for Ole Miss football.

This is similar to the style of frames I’ve used (in both white and light wood tones) in other parts of the house and is the look we are currently going for. The first thing that you should do when designing a gallery staircase is to choose the art and the frames that you want to feature.Īs I mentioned, I decided that I wanted all white frames, nothing ornate but frames with flat white sides. This time, however, I decided that I wanted to focus on a simpler look – with larger frames that are all white and squared off for a more modern look.Īnyways, let’s talk about how to do a gallery wall on a staircase and give you a look at our new stairwell look! How to choose art and frames for a staircase photo wall We had a gallery wall up the stairs in our old house and I really loved the look. So, I decided to hang some pictures down the stairway to give the space a dramatic and personalized look. I tried painting the balusters (jury’s still out on whether that was a flop or not, though it only took about 30 minutes and some paint left over from the fireplace).Īnd we replaced the outdated silver handrail brackets with modern black ones from National Hardware just the other day.īut, I decided that the actual wall was feeling boring and black. However, I’ve been staring at our stairs for a while and felt like the space was feeling blah. We technically finished our downstairs living room makeover, and as a part of that we painted the stairway and the wall at the top of the stairs. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Charleston Crafted possible! This post was sponsored by National Hardware, a supplier of home hardware products to make your life easier. Make sure you buy more card than you need - it took me no less than four attempts to get the size and cut right to start with! When you place the photo behind the mount it might be worth popping a little bit of tape on the corners to hold it in place.Want to hang a modern staircase gallery wall? Here is a complete guide on how to hang pictures up the stairs easily using a Level Art Tool. To create the large white mount, I bought a pack of white A3 card, also from The Range, and cut a hole in the middle - the sides of the mount measured 7.5cm wide and 9cm high. So although cutting out the mounts was a little bit of a headache, its definitely worth it if you're on a tight budget. To save some pennies I bought nine A3 (33x43cm / 16x12") frames from The Range, and made my own mounts using white card, which altogether cost me over half of the price of the IKEA frames I'd been looking at. ![]() We've already got typography prints on our staircase, so I decided to extend this onto the facing wall using similar frames and black and white photos to create a more coherent look. I've put together a video tutorial for this which you can watch here, or keep scrolling for the step-by-step instructions. Three years ago I added a mini gallery to this wall ( you can see more pictures and download a template to create your own here), and whilst I loved it at the time, recently I've felt it was perhaps looking a bit cluttered so decided to start again from scratch, replacing it with something a bit more structured and clean looking.Ī very different looking wedding-themed gallery wall which occupied the stairs previously So I decided to try my hand at what I think is one of the hardest things to master - the gallery wall. The stairs and landing are the worst culprit for this - its a massive white space that's crying out for something interesting. Although we live in a modern home, we've been blessed with high ceilings - great for creating a feeling of space, but it means we have a lot of big, blank walls. ![]() ![]() ![]() Disconnect and reconnect the drive, then click Continue.

This worked without a hitch, and proved a really useful addition given that I always seem to be short by one USB port. During testing, I hooked up my main keyboard via the MIDI input, and declared it in OS X's Audio MIDI Setup window. ![]() As well as enabling use of the controller in a hardware-only scenario, these connections turn the Command 8 into a general-purpose MIDI interface. Additionally, there are two standard five-pin MIDI output ports, and one input. Ultimately, though, you shouldn't be too put off by this aspect of the unit, as operationally it's a professional and classy surface.Īll Command 8's communication with the computer is via a USB connection (another contrast with the Firewire-based 002). I checked with Digidesign whether you could in fact buy Pro Control fader caps, but they won't sell them to you unless you have a Pro Control. Anyway, the good news is that the fader caps are attached by standard metal slots so they are easy to replace. I know Digi are keen to maintain the status of their high-end controllers, but I don't think it would hurt for them to use the same caps as they do in their Pro Control and do justice to the rest of the unit. The main problem is that your fingers tend to slip off them, and you have to resort to holding them between finger and thumb, making it fiddly, and hard to control several faders at once. Maybe they're supposed to be quirky and different, but while their visual appeal is a matter of opinion, they fall short on a practical level. That said, let's deal with my biggest criticism up front! The fader caps are weird, looking and feeling a bit like squashed beer-bottle tops. So, initial impressions are mostly good, and here's a sneak preview: I'm going to say a lot of good things about the Command 8, and it's one of the best all-round controllers I've used. Despite the obvious similarities with the 002, the design of the housing is better, moving from the other surface's slightly toylike 'scooped' appearance to something more traditional. This impression is reinforced by the way that the power supply screws securely into place, a simple but reassuring touch. From the pictures on Digi's web site I thought it would be small, light and, dare I say it, plasticky, but in fact it's a hefty and impressive piece of kit. The first thing that struck me about the Command 8 was that it's much bigger than I'd expected. A significant departure for Digidesign, moreover, is that Command 8 is not just for Pro Tools: it also runs stand-alone as a MIDI controller for any other capable software. Command 8 provides hands-on control of both Pro Tools LE and TDM software, with the same high level of integration and sophistication that we've come to expect since Pro Control, Control 24 and HUI. ![]() However, while the Command 8 is indeed similar to the 002's controller, the comparison doesn't do justice to the new unit's scope. Digidesign's Command 8 aims to offer the best of both worlds.ĭigidesign already offer a rackmounting variant on their Digi 002 interface, which offers the Pro Tools LE audio interface component without the control surface, and at first glance, their Command 8 appears to be the reverse: the control-surface element of the Digi 002 without the audio interface. With fader controllers, you often have a choice of buying something dedicated to one software package, or a generic unit that gives versatility at the cost of tight integration. ![]() |
