Honoring the Achievements of African Americans 

Honoring the Achievements of African Americans  By Pamela Johnson Carter G. Woodson (pictured circa 1948) is recognized as the “Father of Black History Month.”  Black History Month, also known as African American History Month, is an annual observance during February in the United States that acknowledges and honors Blacks' contributions to U.S. history. These Blacks are the descendants of enslaved Africans shipped to the Americas via the Atlantic slave trade between the 16th and 19th centuries. During this time, Black people often reflect on their history, obstacles overcome and the challenges and progress still to be made.  From the arts to medicine, education, music, cultural inventions, entrepreneurship, civil rights leaders, noble laureates, etcetera, Blacks have played an influential role in shaping America and are paid tribute to throughout the month.  There are several ...

However, it was the first to be established in a major US city, giving it widespread recognition. Muni’s immediate success  set an example that many cities across the country would come to follow.  Reflecting on this recently passed anniversary, we took a look at some of the key events that led to the creation of Muni.

Spring Mass System Executing Simple Harmonic Motion

Simple Harmonic Motion Simple Harmonic Motion is a kind of periodic motion where the object moves to and fro around its mean position. This motion arises when the force acting on the body is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from its mean position. The time period, in this case, remains constant. The time period is denoted by “T” and the distance of the mean position from the extreme position is called amplitude, it is denoted by A. An oscillating pendulum is an example of Simple Harmonic Motion. A general equation of SHM is given by, x(t) = Asin(ωt + φ). To Find The Prove Watch the Video Below
