Acceleration

In mechanics, acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

Adhesive

Adhesive, also known as glue, cement, mucilage, or paste, is any non-metallic substance applied to one or both surfaces of two separate items that binds them together and resists their separation.

See Shield-X and Adhesive

Aerospace

Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space.

See Shield-X and Aerospace

American football, referred to simply as football in the United States and Canada and also known as gridiron football, is a team sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field with goalposts at each end.

See Shield-X and American football

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

See Shield-X and Brain

British Columbia

British Columbia (commonly abbreviated as BC) is the westernmost province of Canada.

See Shield-X and British Columbia

Canada

Canada is a country in North America.

See Shield-X and Canada

Center of mass

In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred to as the barycenter or balance point) is the unique point at any given time where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero.

See Shield-X and Center of mass

Concussion

A concussion, also known as a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is a head injury that temporarily affects brain functioning.

See Shield-X and Concussion

A contact sport is any sport where physical contact between competitors, or their environment, is an integral part of the game.

See Shield-X and Contact sport

Cross product

In mathematics, the cross product or vector product (occasionally directed area product, to emphasize its geometric significance) is a binary operation on two vectors in a three-dimensional oriented Euclidean vector space (named here E), and is denoted by the symbol \times.

See Shield-X and Cross product

Cycling

Cycling, also known as bicycling or biking, is the activity of riding a bicycle or other type of cycle.

See Shield-X and Cycling

Decal

A decal or transfer is a plastic, cloth, paper, or ceramic substrate that has printed on it a pattern or image that can be moved to another surface upon contact, usually with the aid of heat or water.

See Shield-X and Decal

Force

A force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate, meaning a change in speed or direction, unless counterbalanced by other forces.

See Shield-X and Force

Friction

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

See Shield-X and Friction

Handsworth Secondary School

Handsworth Secondary School is a high school in the district of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and part of School District 44 North Vancouver.

Ice hockey

Ice hockey (or simply hockey) is a team sport played on ice skates, usually on an ice skating rink with lines and markings specific to the sport.

See Shield-X and Ice hockey

Impact (mechanics)

In mechanics, an impact is when two bodies collide.

See Shield-X and Impact (mechanics)

Jacques Chapdelaine

Jacques Chapdelaine (born August 24, 1961) is a Canadian football coach and former professional slotback in the Canadian Football League (CFL).

See Shield-X and Jacques Chapdelaine

Linear motion

Linear motion, also called rectilinear motion, is one-dimensional motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension.

See Shield-X and Linear motion

Magnitude (mathematics)

In mathematics, the magnitude or size of a mathematical object is a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind.

See Shield-X and Magnitude (mathematics)

Privately held company

A privately held company (or simply a private company) is a company whose shares and related rights or obligations are not offered for public subscription or publicly negotiated in their respective listed markets.

See Shield-X and Privately held company

Rotational frequency

Rotational frequency, also known as rotational speed or rate of rotation (symbols ν, lowercase Greek nu, and also n), is the frequency of rotation of an object around an axis.

See Shield-X and Rotational frequency

Shear force

In solid mechanics, shearing forces are unaligned forces acting on one part of a body in a specific direction, and another part of the body in the opposite direction.

See Shield-X and Shear force

Simon Fraser Red Leafs

The SFU Red Leafs or Simon Fraser Red Leafs teams (formerly the Simon Fraser Clan) represent Simon Fraser University (SFU), which is located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

Solvent

A solvent (from the Latin solvō, "loosen, untie, solve") is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

Sport industry

Sport industry is an industry in which people, activities, business, and organizations are involved in producing, facilitating, promoting, or organizing any activity, experience, or business enterprise focused on sports.

Sports equipment

Sports equipment, also called sporting goods, are the tools, materials, apparel, and gear, which varies in shapes, size, and usage in a particular sport.

Tangent

In geometry, the tangent line (or simply tangent) to a plane curve at a given point is, intuitively, the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point.
