Calculates energy expenditures for the activities of running and bicycling and discusses the heat dissipative perspiration system of the human body. (CP)

Explains that the larger value of g at the poles is not due only to differences in the radii of the earth, but that other factors are also responsible such as the rotation of the earth and the increase in the earth's density toward its center. (GA)

A discussion of levers, moments of inertia, fulcrums and forces involved in the action of boat rowing is presented. (CP)

Addresses the problem of the optimum angle at which a putter should release the shot in order to achieve maximum distance. (BB)

Demonstrates that the assumption of a single-frequency wave does not eliminate the effect of frequency dispersion upon energy transport velocity nor upon energy density. (Author/SL)

Demonstrates that the standard deviation of the position probability of a particle moving freely in one dimension is a function of the standard deviation of its velocity distribution and time in classical or quantum mechanics. (SL)
