JS Kurihama

JS Kurihama is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand JS Kurihama rather than just read about it. In short: JS Kurihama (ASE-6101) was an experimental ship of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Development and design From the above circumstances, special consideration has been given to the torpedo test.

Key takeaways

JS Kurihama belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect JS Kurihama to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of JS Kurihama from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

JS Kurihama (ASE-6101) was an experimental ship of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Development and design From the above circumstances, special consideration has been given to the torpedo test. The hull is also a long poop deck, and the rear deck is one step lower, making it easier to lift and lower trial torpedoes. On the starboard side of the rear work deck, a deck crane with a capacity of 5 tons is installed for the installation and operation of test equipment. In addition, a measurement room was set up in the adjacent section of the rear deck, and consideration was given to making it easier to monitor the measurement equipment. In addition, an ultrasonic measuring device and a torpedo launcher device were installed on the port side, and measuring equipment could be loaded and unloaded according to the content of the test. However, unlike the successor JS Asuka, the number of people involved in the test was limited to more than a dozen, so there were many day-trip tests. As for the onboard boats, an 11-metre (36 ft) work boat was mounted on the port side and a 7-metre (23 ft) work boat was mounted on the starboard side.

Construction and career Kurihama was laid down on 23 March 1979 at Sasebo Naval Arsenal, Sasebo and launched on 20 September 1979. The vessel was commissioned on 8 April 1980. In August 1997, data was collected using the former escort ship JDS Nagatsuki that was sunk as a target for the actual ship. On 22 March 2002, the Development Guidance Team was reorganized into the Development Team. In response to the Great East Japan Earthquake caused by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake that occurred on 11 March 2011, 46 minutes after the earthquake, an emergency departure was made for disaster dispatch. On 6 April 2012, a self-defense ship flag return ceremony was held at Yokosuka Base and she was retired. In the history of the ship for about 32 years, the total voyage was 305,186 miles (565,204.5 km) for about 14.1 laps of the earth, and the total voyage time was 39,850 hours.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with JS Kurihama

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what JS Kurihama claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to JS Kurihama before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about JS Kurihama ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of JS Kurihama

In research: JS Kurihama appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses JS Kurihama in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: JS Kurihama is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1979 ships, Auxiliary ships of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Experimental ships, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for JS Kurihama outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
