The 1920 Antwerp Olympics were held to honor those wounded in World War I and Belgian fighters. It was the first Olympics where athletes took an oath and the Olympic flag was raised with the five rings. National Olympic Committees selected participants. Track & field, boxing, cycling, football, gymnastics, swimming, modern pentathlon, weightlifting, rowing, tennis, jumping, and water polo were contested. Countries like the US, Sweden, UK, Finland, Belgium, Norway, Italy, France, Netherlands, and Denmark competed. The US won the most medals overall. Finnish athlete Paavo Nurmi was highly successful, winning 9 gold and 3 silver medals and becoming one of the most decorated Olympians
The document discusses the history and host cities of the modern Olympic Games from 1896 to 2016. It notes some magic moments in Olympic history like Jesse Owens' victories in 1936 and the Dream Team in 1992. Popular Olympic sports mentioned include weightlifting, athletics, equestrian, and gymnastics. Athletes must qualify for the Olympics by performing well in prior competitions.
1) The 1908 Summer Olympics were held in London after the original host, Rome, had to cancel due to a volcanic eruption in Italy.
2) 22 nations participated in the London Games, with over 2,000 athletes competing across 24 different sports.
3) The Olympics featured several "firsts", including the addition of winter event sports and the public declaration of the Olympic creed.
Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, held annually since 1877 at the All England Club in London. It is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments and the only one still played on grass courts. The 2012 Olympic tennis tournament was held at Wimbledon from July 28th to August 5th, featuring 172 players competing in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles events.
The document summarizes the origins and history of the modern Olympic Games. It discusses that the first Olympics were held in 776 BC in Greece and ended in 393 AD. The revival of the Games began in 1833 and the first modern Olympics took place in 1896 in Athens with 9 sports. The Olympic rings symbolizing the 5 continents were added in 1913. Olympic ceremonies include opening and closing ceremonies to celebrate the athletes as well as a medals ceremony where gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded to the top 3 finishers in each event. A list of Olympic host cities from 1896 to 2012 is also provided.
The 1920 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the 7th Olympiad, were held in Antwerp, Belgium in 1920 following the conclusion of World War I. Nearly 2,500 athletes from 29 countries participated in the Games, which featured the Olympic Oath and flag for the first time. The United States won the most medals overall, while the Games also included the debut of figure skating and ice hockey during a week of winter sports competition.
The 1924 Olympics, known as the VIII Modern Olympics, were held in Paris from May to July. Over 3,000 athletes from 44 nations participated in a variety of sports. Notable achievements included American William Hubbard becoming the first black athlete to win an individual gold, Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi winning 5 titles, and British runners Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell winning gold in the 100m and 400m respectively. The United States topped the medal table with 45 gold medals.
The 1920 Summer Olympics were held in Antwerp, Belgium and marked several Olympic firsts. The United States topped the medal count, winning 95 total medals. Notable individual performances included Nedo Nadi of Italy winning 5 gold medals in fencing and Willis Lee of the United States winning 5 gold medals in shooting. Several nations, including Germany, Hungary, Austria, and Bulgaria, were excluded from competing due to their involvement in World War I.
The document summarizes the origins and growth of the Paralympic Games from its beginnings in 1948 as a small gathering of British WWII veterans to becoming one of the largest international sporting events by the 21st century. It was founded in 1960 by Ludwig Guttmann and involves athletes with physical and intellectual disabilities competing in a range of sports. Spain finished 17th in the medal table at the 2012 London Paralympics, with swimming and cycling being its most successful sports.

Un microondas calienta los alimentos mediante la generación de ondas de radio de alta frecuencia que hacen que las moléculas de agua y otras sustancias en los alimentos giren y choquen, dispersando la energía en forma de calor. Un tubo magnetrónico convierte la energía eléctrica en microondas que son absorbidas por los alimentos, haciendo que los electrones se muevan a gran velocidad y produzcan calor para calentar los alimentos.
El documento describe el efecto piezoeléctrico, que ocurre en ciertos cristales donde la aplicación de una fuerza mecánica produce una diferencia de potencial eléctrico, y viceversa. Funciona debido a que los átomos ionizados en la estructura cristalina se desplazan al comprimir el cristal, polarizando eléctricamente cada celda y generando una acumulación neta de carga entre caras opuestas.
El documento describe diferentes tipos de alarmas, incluyendo una alarma de luminosidad que usa un LDR para detectar la luz y activar un circuito LED, una alarma de temperatura que usa un puente de Darlington, y alarmas para encender farolas al caer la noche y detectar contacto.
En un circuito eléctrico con resistencias en paralelo, el voltaje aplicado a todo el circuito es el mismo, mientras que la intensidad de corriente puede variar en cada rama debido a las diferentes resistencias.
Un diodo es un componente electrónico semiconductor que permite el paso de corriente en una sola dirección y se simboliza con un triángulo y una línea vertical; debe conectarse con polarización directa colocando el polo positivo hacia el triángulo y protegerse con una resistencia, ya que solo deja pasar corriente en un sentido.
