All energy systems are constantly working together, although there is always a bigger contribution from one energy system to another depending on the intensity and duration of the activity. During a soccer match the ATP-PC energy system is the dominant energy source for high intensity activities of up to 10 seconds. This is dominant when an outfield player is jumping for a header or a goalkeeper is diving to save the ball. The anaerobic glycolysis system is the highest contribution when working…

With only $3.00-3.50 per vehicle kilometre, bus lines outpace rail lines which need $3-5 per vehicle kilometre. The other fact is that bus lines generate 50 % lower for capital costs than rail lines. He also claims, however, with the definite line a rail line gives confidence to contractors and financiers for implementing…

astounding and exactly what we had hoped for,” says Burgess. “There were three main sensory excitations that we noticed the sharks following: sound, movement and light. Some species can detect vibrations caused by noise or movement from over two kilometres away, usually as an indication of wounded prey. Additionally, we discovered that sharks distinguish light tones and are attracted to bright flashes of light, one of the reasons why they are aggressive in the presence of shining metal from…

The Flinders Ranges The Flinders Ranges are the largest mountain range in South Australia. located in outback South Australia about 200 kilometres north from the city of Adelaide (125 miles). The Flinders ranges stretch for over 430 kilometres. Starting at Port Pirie and ending near lake Callabonna 120 kilometers from Cameron corner, the junction of South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales. How where the ranges formed?

The largest dinosaurs to walk the Earth may have embarked on seasonal migrations that covered hundreds of kilometres when local watering holes dried up and food became scarce. Evidence that giant sauropods set off on epic journeys came to light when scientists examined fossilised teeth recovered from the remains of beasts unearthed in Wyoming and Utah in the US. The analysis of 32 teeth belonging to two species of Camarasaurus, among the most common sauropods found in North America, suggests…

units : it represents single determining characteristic such as miles, tons etc b) Compound units : it represents combination of two or more simple units, which represents more than one determining characteristics, such as passenger - kilometres, tons - kilometres, c) Hypothetical units : These units are used to facilitate comparison, examples are horsepower, coal equivalent . Units of analysis and interpretation These are units where subjects and objects or attributes of subjects and objects…

it must be closed on all sides up to the tropopause, The tropopause is the boundary in the Earth's atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The side must reach the tropopause completely would need to be about 10 kilometres over the poles or over 18 kilometres above the equator. On Earth, there are not mountains that high, but on other planets there are. Furthermore on Earth, most valleys are made by erosion and rivers. If a valley is entirely closed, it cannot be a result of…
