Analysis of Linear Motion

Assignment: Analysis of Linear Motion
Go bowling, or observe someone bowling (on YouTube is OK).
Part 1: Identify 4 forces (see HINT below) that are involved during the activity of bowling and briefly explain how they apply. (20pts)
HINT: what forces act on the ball to make it move or not move?
These are some TYPES OF FORCES:
Contact Forces: friction, tension, support/normal, air resistance, spring, rotational torque, ground reaction
Distance Forces: gravitational
Anatomical: muscular force
Part 2: Discuss 2-3 factors (NOT forces) modifying the motion (what factors might affect or change the movement (linear motion) of the ball or throwing of the ball?) Hint: Think about the ball itself, the surface of the floor, or what the bowler does (his/her actions). (20pts)
Part 3: List, define and then provide an example of how the following SIX concepts apply to the activity of bowling: 1-Inertia, 2-Impulse, 3-Work, 4-Kinetic Energy, 5-Momentum, 6-Friction (60pts)

Choose one line from CAConrad’s (soma)tic exercises or poems, or one line from Bhanu Kapil’s “Verge Notes.” Write it down to include in your piece.

First, read these 2 texts:
CAConrad, excerpts from A Beautiful Marsupial Afternoon
Bhanu Kapil, “Verge Notes”

Instructions for the collaborative exercise:
READ ALL THE STEPS before you begin! And please send me a message if you’re confused.

Choose one line from CAConrad’s (soma)tic exercises or poems, or one line from Bhanu Kapil’s “Verge Notes.” Write it down to include in your piece.

Write one instructive/imperative statement that involves an act one could do with their body.

For example, “Smear the banana on your forehead” or “Look directly into the camera” or “Quack excitedly in duck language for the first three hours of your day for three days.”

Since this is an instructive/imperative statement, you’re telling someone to do something.

Take a moment to be aware of your body and how it feels.

Is it relaxed? Tense? Upright? Bent?

If you’re anxious, where and how do you feel that in your body? How does your stomach feel? Your toes?

Try to describe how your body feels right now using as detailed description as possible:
(“My stomach is roiling with ants” or “I’m floating through the house like a balloon losing helium” or “there is a line running from my heels deep into the earth”).

Finish this line from “Verge Notes”– “No, not poems, instead: …”– with a phrase or series of concrete images.
(As an example, look at #2 in “Verge Notes” to see how Bhanu Kapil finishes her line).

State a desire you have, whether it’s impossible or easily resolved (“I want the end of all politicians” or “I want an ice cream sandwich” or “if only my cat and I could carry on long conversations”)

Take some time to make notes about #2-5. Let yourself write freely if other things come to mind.

Use your notes to write a short piece

The piece should be at least 10 lines long.

You can include the different elements (the instructive statement, desire, body feeling, etc.) in any order you wish.

It’s ok if all these elements aren’t clearly recognizable in your final writing—be true to wherever your process takes you.

Don’t worry if your piece doesn’t feel perfect. This is just an experiment!
Use the last line of the most recent post in the discussion as your first line.**

It’s okay if some people end up using the same line if they post around the same time.

** Whoever posts first will use this line as their first line:

What Is Integrated Marketing? (Links to an external site.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6WF0O1Mnvk
One Message, Many Media: Integrated Marketing Campaigns
To examine integrated marketing in action, you’re going to tell the story of a particular
campaign from your internship brand, you selected in Week 1, across multiple media for this interactive activity. We want to know what unifies the campaign and how the unique nature of each medium is being utilized (or underutilized if you feel so). And we want to hear if you think the campaign is effective or not and why.
Refer to your text and define what integrated marking communications (IMC) is.
Describe why companies use IMC campaigns.
Identify a significant marketing campaign from your internship brand.
Find one that was supported across multiple media (e.g., TV, print, website, banner ads, social media networks ads, billboard ads, etc.).
If you don’t know how to identify and research major marketing campaigns,
search the web or major advertising publications (Adweek (Links to an external site.) or Adweek Youtube Channel (Links to an external site.)) for articles about your brand’s advertising campaigns or
check your brand’s Twitter feed for recurring ad messages.
Find campaign executions for at least three different media channels (e.g., campaign executions on TV, print, website, banner ads, social media networks ads, billboard ads, etc.). Include the images in your post.
Create a new post containing the following elements:
Title and subtitle (if needed).
Headings for the three media you’ve found.
For each medium, a brief description of how it is being used, focusing on what it can do that other media cannot.
A paragraph summarizing what unifies the campaign and whether or not you think it’s effective and why.
Use the Table 6.2 POE’s model of message channels from the course text, and from each quadrant, identify at least one channel that would benefit your internship brand if adopted or used more effectively. Explain your reason.
Your initial post must be at least 350 words.
Be sure to properly cite your textbook in APA Style as outlined in the Writing Center’s APA: Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.) guide.
