Principle of Stability and Its Uses in Sports

.
Ans. i. Broad base of support: for greater stability increase the area of the base and lower the centre of gravity as much as is consistent with the activity involved. Examples:
a. a basketball player stops, spreads his feet wide as shoulder line and lowers his CG to dodge the opponent.
b. Defence position of the player in volleyball.   c. Wide stance of a golfer.     d. tackling position of a player in football.
ii. Stability is directly proportional to the weight of the body: the object or a person with heavy weight will have greater stability as compared to person with less weight.
Example: it is difficult to move a heavier person as compared to less heavier person.
On the basis of this... Continue reading "Stability and Motion in Sports: Principles and Applications" »

Examine the Notions of Kingship Mentioned in the Gandatindu Jataka

Answer: Popular Perceptions of Kings - The Gandatindu Jataka describes the plight of the subjects of a wicked king.

Pollination and Fertilization in Plants

Pollination is the mechanism to achieve the objective of transferring pollen grains, shed from the anther, to the stigma of a pistil. This transfer is termed pollination.

Kinds of Pollination

Depending on the source of pollen, pollination can be divided into three types:

• Autogamy
• Geitonogamy
• Xenogamy

Double Fertilization

After entering one of the synergids, the pollen tube releases two male gametes into the cytoplasm of the synergid. One of the male gametes moves towards the egg cell and fuses with its nucleus, thus completing the syngamy. This results in the formation of a diploid cell, the zygote. The other male gamete moves towards the two polar nuclei located in the central cell and fuses with them to produce...

My Cousin, Christopher

My cousin, Christopher, is the son of my father's brother. He's three years younger than me and we didn't know each other very well as children because he and his family lived on the other side of the country at that time. Since then, he's married and moved closer so we meet quite often and I've got to know him much better. There's nothing very remarkable about Chris's appearance. He's of average height and medium build, and he's got curly mousy hair and a fair complexion. As he's quite short-sighted like me, he wears glasses. The clothes he likes are mostly casual: jeans or shorts and a tee-shirt. I don't think I've ever seen him in a suit. He's a very active person who loves the outdoor life. He's extremely practical...
