For my topic on the file, "Grade Pitch and Slippery '' I choose to discuss number six, what is an adhesion railroad? An adhesion railway provides the resistance that prevents a vehicle's wheels
from sliding on the road (AST, 2021). It is stated, "with a clean dry wheel running on a clean dry rail the “frictional coefficient” between them may be as high as 0.35 or 35%" (AST, 2021). Frictional coefficient can be defined as the resistance between these two aforementioned surfaces. For example, in the case of a train and railway the frictional coefficient is equal to the available frictional resistance divided by the adhesive weight on the driving wheels (AST, 2021).
This however alters due to the presence of oil, ice, or water between two surfaces; friction would be reduced to near zero and the likelihood of slipping is higher (AST, 2021). This result is not always consistent and also depends on speed. Wheel slips can have a higher occurrence as
the speed increases (AST, 2021). This also can be said if the speed is slower however the slip possibilities still exist. Overall, the adhesion limit is complex and has multiple factors that contribute to sliding. This concept can be applied to everyday life. While living in Guam for example, rain and roads made of carol created adhesion. The relationship between the surface of the road and my tires took a greater risk of slipping which is why a reduced speed was a better chance to not slipping.

You are approaching your school campus in your car, trying to make it on time to your early morning class.
Another student is just ahead of you on his motorcycle.
As he enters the intersection on a green light, a motorist runs the red light and just misses the motorcycle.
Swerving to avoid a collision, the helmeted motorcyclist lays the bike down, and skids along the roadway. As you come to a rapid stop, he lays on the pavement in front of your vehicle.

Khalil Mack is a professional football player who graduated from UB (and took biopsychology while an undergrad here). Because he’s a professional athlete, weighs about 250 lbs, and is much stronger than I will ever be, the chance of me tackling him all by myself is virtually zero. But, imagine the following: I grab Mack’s left foot and hold on for dear life, and, at the exact same time¸ your TA, Zoe, grabs his right foot, another TA, Anna, grabs is left foot, while your other TA, Susan, jumps on his back. We might (if we’re lucky and the wind blows just right) have a chance of stopping him. The four of us grabbing Mack, all at the exact same time illustrates which principle of synaptic communication? (Thankfully Mack is a defense end, so we’ll never have to tackle him.)
a. reflex arc
b. inhibitory post synaptic potentials
c. spatial summation
d. temporal summation
