    Kinetic Energy Lab

    • 394 Words
    • 2 Pages

    the students of the class, went relatively well. In this lab, we teste the theory of the conservation of energy. The kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp should equal the potential energy at the top of the ramp without regard to the path taken. Thus, for method 1, the equations for kinetic energy (1/2mv²) and potential gravitational energy (U_g=mgh) were used. For the second method, the concepts and formulas for constant acceleration was used in conjunction with the equation for kinetic…

    It has been established for more than 40 years that Cl- is not passively distributed in gastrointestinal smooth muscle (Aickin et al 1983, Barajas Lopez et al 1989, Casteels 1971, El-Sharkawy and Daniel 1975 p1278,) and that there is a complex relationship between the distribution and transport of Cl- and the distribution and transport of other ions including Na+, K+ and Ca2+, as well as responses to changes in pH and osmolarity. The full complement of Cl- ion transporters and Cl- selective…

    tittle: The bouncing ball efficiency when bouncing a ball at different heights Energy cannot be destroyed or created it can only be transferred in to different types of energy like kinetic, heat, light, electrical, chemical, elastic potential, gravitational potential, thermal, nuclear and sound energy. When calculating energy, you would work in measurement like joules, kilojoules and millijoules. There are many types of energy like kinetic energy which is when a object is moving like a car…

    secretion of synaptogenic proteins TSPs and Hevin will be monitored by biochemical and immunohistochemical methods. Since gabapentin strongly blocks TSP-induced synapse formation within its therapeutic concentration, it is possible that inhibition of excitatory synapse formation is an important mode of its therapeutic action in epilepsy and pain. We expect that astrocytes will have reduced excitory synapse formation with MERTK knockout, similar to astrocyte cultured media in presence of…

    Serotonin Essay

    The neurotransmitter that I chose to research is serotonin. It is created by a biochemical conversion process that combines tryptophan, a part of proteins, with tryptophan hydroxylase, a chemical reactor. Together, they form 5-hydroxyltryptamine (5-HT). Serotonin is manufactured in the brain and the intestines. The majority of the body's serotonin, between 80% to 90%, can be found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It can also be found in the blood platelets and the central nervous system.…

    The search for "energy capsule" made me get acquainted with such a mysterious phenomenon of nature, Ball lightning. In truth, no one yet knows exactly drive it or not. But I'm with some degree of risk still decided to consider a Ball lightning energy accumulator. Here is a brief those characteristics of ball lightning, which are made by scientists on the basis of a large number of eyewitnesses: the energy contained in the lightning - from 0.1 to 4 kWh; lifetime - from several seconds to minutes;…

    important to examine the ways that this disorder can be controlled. Low potassium diets, regular turnout, and a constant schedule have been shown to effectively manage the condition of Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis. The role of potassium in action potentials, as well as in muscular contraction, is reviewed. Also investigated is the ideal way to feed a horse affected with this condition. In recent years, a new condition in the performance horse industry has surfaced which is affecting the…

    calcium disruption, mitochondrial inflammation and oxidative stress (Du et al., 2010). Calcium ions are significantly important in synapsis signalling because enable the release of neurotransmitters to the synaptic cleft and consequently to the postsynaptic cell making the process to continue (Reece et al. 2014). Disruption of calcium ions would cause abnormalities in the synapsis signalling and hence in the function of…

    side of the dam. This relatively higher elevation is what gives the water the potential energy to turn the turbine when it begins to flow ("Hydroelectric Energy."). Potential energy is calculated by the force due to gravity multiplied by the change in height of the matter. So, a reservoir of just 10 cubic meters of water that is 50 meters above the river on the other side and flowing at just 1 meter per second, has a potential power of 49,000 watts for every second that it flows. Under these…

    Long ago, a man named Yugong (foolish man) lived in a house sitting behind two giant mountains. One morning, Yugong started taking rocks away from the mountains and told his neighbors that he was going to move them because they were blocking his way. One of his neighbors, known as Zhisou (wise man) heard the story and laughed: “Have you seen the sizes of the mountains? How could you ever have them moved?” Yugong answered, “I will just get it started. My children will continue; so will my…
