Discusses the various views on Galileo's demonstration of free fall. Cites several historians' accounts of early free fall experiments and Galileo's contributions to knowledge in this area. (TS)

The physics of vertical jumping is described as an interesting illustration for motivating students in a general physics course to master the kinematics and dynamics of one dimensional motion. The author suggests that mastery of the physical principles of the jump may promote understanding of certain biological phenomena, aspects of physical…

The change in man's conception of the world, and particularly the problem of motion, is reflected in the changing images used by the poets who lived through the scientific revolution. (Author/TS)

Based on an M.A. thesis by the senior author submitted to the University of Iowa.

The visible in dance encompasses two possible worlds: a world of "doingness" and a world of quality. Each of these worlds in turn engenders two possibilities: accomplishing, or making something happen, on the one hand; qualitative presence or qualitative flow on the other. (Author)

Offers tips on assessing the proper way to communicate motion in photojournalism and ideas on using the techniques of stop action, blur motion, and panning, coordinated with light/shutter speed, film speed, subject speed, direction of motion, and distance to subject. (RL)

Subjects improved significantly in vertical jump capacity under both training regimes; however, no significant difference was found between the two training methods. (MJB)
