We need to sober up and run to God with greater humility, admitting that we are a hard case and in desperate need of the medicines and graces that God offers.В He offers usВ His Word, the Sacraments, holy fellowship, and lots of prayer! We need not be in a panic, but we do need to be far more urgent than most moderns are about themselves and the people whom they say they love.Д¬onsider some of the following ways we can be a hard case in terms of being saved (Disclaimer, I do not say all these things are true of you personally, just that we, collectively, have these common tendencies):ДЎ.

Are you and I,В in our present unseemly state and vastly less gifted than the angels, really going to claim that we are not in any real danger or areВ easy to save? But still, they fell!ДЄdam and Eve,В possessing preternatural gifts and existing before all the weaknesses we inherited from sin, also fell. The fallen angels had intellects vastly superior to ours and their angelic souls were not weighed down with the many bodily passions that beset us. This should make usВ more humble about our own situation. If even a third of the angels fell, that ought toВ make usВ very aware of our own tendency to fall. We have hard hearts, thick skulls, and innumerable other traits that make us a difficult case. The real answer is that we are hard to save and weВ must become more sober about that. God surely wants to save us all (Ez 18:23 1 Tim 2:4). Is it because God is stingy or despotic? No. The question does surely arise as to why many walk the wide roadВ to destruction andВ Hell. And even though He doesnвЂ™t give percentages for each category, do not refute His words by trying to make вЂњmanyвЂќ mean вЂњfewвЂќ and вЂњfewвЂќ mean вЂњmany.вЂќ No one loves us more than Jesus does, and no one warned us more of judgment and Hell than Jesus. Whereas Jesus says вЂњmanyвЂќ are on the road to destruction and only вЂњa fewвЂќ travel the narrow road (of the cross) to salvation, most reverse what Jesus says and claim that many go to Heaven and only a few (if any) go to Hell.

I will notВ create another whole post on that just now, but you can read one of those older posts here: Hell is for real and not rare.Д«ut just to summarize, most people today have the teaching exactly backwards. I have commented on this blog at some length in the pastВ on the serious problem of universalism (the notion that nearly everyone goes to Heaven). And those who find it are few (Matt 6:12-13). How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life.

As a skater forms a circle, what force is responsible for making her turn? Use a free body diagram in your answer.In the gospel earlier this week, we read a warning from Jesus that too many people just brush aside:Д®nter through the narrow gate for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.What is the direction of the force exerted by the car on the passenger as the car goes over the top of the amusement ride pictured in Figure 8В under the following circumstances: (a) The car goes over the top at such a speed that the gravitational force is the only force acting?В (b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed?В (c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?.

Amusement rides with a vertical loop are an example of a form of curved motion. Tire friction enables a vehicle to take the curve at significantly higher speeds.Д¬alculations similar to those in the preceding examples can be performed for a host of interesting situations in which centripetal force is involved-a number of these are presented in this chapterвЂ™s Problems and Exercises.ДЇigure 8. This is just about 165 km/h, consistent with a very steeply banked and rather sharp curve. Thus, the magnitude of centripetal force F c isВ F c = ma c.Д«y using the expressions for centripetal acceleration a c from a_c=rac\ Discussion For uniform circular motion, the acceleration is the centripetal acceleration- aВ = a c.

According to NewtonвЂ™s second law of motion, net force is mass times acceleration: net F = ma. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration. Just a few examples are the tension in the rope on a tether ball, the force of EarthвЂ™s gravity on the Moon, friction between roller skates and a rink floor, a banked roadwayвЂ™s force on a car, and forces on the tube of a spinning centrifuge.ДЄny net force causing uniform circular motion is called a centripetal force.

Calculate ideal speed and angle of a car on a turn.ДЄny force or combination of forces can cause a centripetal or radial acceleration.

Calculate coefficient of friction on a car tire.
