However, team members had several situations that they couldn 't keep up with the schedule due to their personal commitments and that potentially stopped us from moving further. Indeed, during the team meeting we explained them the potential consequences that they could face for not keeping up with their work, but they quickly rectified their mistakes. I would say this was the one and only weakness of our team. We could have been stricter in confronting the team members who didn 't do…
energy. Potential energy begins the transfer of energy on the first hill. A chain motor pulls the cars to the top of the hill creating potential energy. Potential energy being defined as the energy determined by its position compared to that of its surroundings. The potential energy is built up due to the height of the roller coaster. Although some of the energy is lost it is eventually turned into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy also referred to as motion energy is…
In neuronal development, the general rule is that cells are generated in sites different from those they later reside in. The Nervous System is the master controlling and communicating system of the body. Electrical impulses act as signaling device; they are rapid, specific and cause immediate responses. They also use sensory receptors to monitor changes called stimuli. This is where gathered information creates sensory input. Integration is the processes and interprets sensory input which…
consist of turns, loops, and going fast. All roller coasters are active by the means of gravity, potential energy, kinetic energy, friction, and speed. To our surprise, roller coasters do not typically use engines. If they do, the motor is only used going up the hill and the rest of the ride is motor less. The roller coaster gets energy while it is going up the hills. The roller coaster has the most potential energy when it is located at the first peak which is the highest peak. The fundamental…
Waste can not simply be thrown away anymore into a repulsive dump or burned away into the air to contribute to pollution, it must be managed! 4.3 lb. of trash is created per person in the U.S., according to futurecity.org. Many processes used to get rid of trash is to either burn them, dump them in landfills, or ship them somewhere else. If this continues, these ways will contribute to polluting the water, air, and soil. Soon, it will be high-priced and time consuming to clean up all of the…
All of our feelings, sensations, motor, thoughts and emotional responses, learning and memory, the actions of mind-blowing medicine, the causes of mental disorders, and the other perform or pathology of the human brain cannot be understood while not the data regarding the fascinating method of communication between nerve cells. Neurons should unendingly gather data regarding the interior state of the organism and its external setting, appraise this data, and coordinate activities acceptable to…
Breaks are not something people take the time to think about. Even if they are fundamental to the vehicles many people use every day. The functionality of breaks is contributed to physics and engineers ability to understand that physics. There is a lot going on when people press on the brake pedal in their car. The most basic principle of brake pads is in fact friction. This friction is the thing that transfers the energy of the car moving forward to heat energy. Brakes also use pressure as a…
My father is the subject of this job analysis interview, and as of today he is currently 51 years old and put in 23 colorful and experienced years of service to the United States Air force. After many years of service he retired to a position as a government civil serviceman with an occupation as an Intelligence analysis at MacDill Air force base. Intelligence analysis is a very broad term that can mean many things for those who are unaware, which can lead to confusion. O*NET has done a very…
Neurons communicate over long distances using action potentials. Action potentials occur as a result of rapid changes in membrane permeability. Resting membrane potential of a cell is approximately -70 millivolts. Large anions trapped inside the cell, negatively charged proteins, as well as a higher concentration of positively charged ions outside than inside are some of the factors that contribute to the initial negative charge within the cell at resting value. Ion concentration gradients as…
1. A salivary gland is stimulated by its parasympathetic nerve. a) Describe the organization of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the peripheral nervous system that largely acts involuntarily. It consists of nerves in cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, exocrine and endocrine glands. The main visceral activities are temperature regulation, digestion, blood pressure and genitourinary function. The second main division of the…
