Potential

under the same concept. Most roller coasters start out by ascending to a higher surface which is done to build up enough potential energy to power the carts throughout the entire ride. Energy is usually defined as the ability or capacity to perform work, there are many different types of energy all of which can be grouped into two groups: kinetic energy and potential energy. Potential energy according to "Study.com" is the stored energy that an object has made by positioning, and the idea behind…

shown all throughout the sport. There are stunts, tumbling, and jumps. Cheerleading is a sport that involves all these tasks and much more. Cheerleading consists of many concepts of physics, such as Gravity, Newton Laws of Motion, momentum, torque, potential and kinetic energy, velocity, force, gravitational acceleration, free fall. I will explain the definitions of each concept, so readers will be able to get real meaning as to why these concepts consist of cheer leading. Gravity is the force…

The human brain consists of about 100 billion nerve cells that receives and send messages to other cells through chemical and electrical means (Skaggs, 2013). The main job of the nervous system is to receive data through sense organs, translates messages, process and respond to both internal and external stimuli (Saladin, 2012 p440). Nervous system uses chemical and electrical signal to communicate from neurons to another at high speed. More than 100 billion neurons found in the brain. Basic…

After astrocytes remove glutamate from the ECS, glutamate must be isolated and degraded. Glutamate transporters are bidirectional, so intracellular elevations of glutamate levels will lead to an electrochemical gradient-mediated release if the molecule is not destroyed. If glutamate release is unregulated glutamate accumulates in the ECS and impairs the survival of neurons. Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) helps degrade glutamate into a-ketoglutarate, an intermediary in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)…

paper, have you ever wanted to learn about the physics of rollercoasters? This research will explain how potential energy is converted into kinetic energy throughout the roller coaster. Two variations of roller coasters will be built. The roller coasters will be used to compare how the marble’s energy is affected by the hills, turns or loops of each roller coaster. Now let’s test their potential. The concept of a roller coaster can be dated back as far as the 1400’s. According to research, the…

It is a specific protein presenting on the membrane of the nerve cells and muscle cells. They are responsible for action potential initiation and propagation in excitable cells (Catterall, Goldin, & Waxman, 2015). Voltage-gated sodium channels open or close to in response to the movement of sodium concentration between inside and outside of the cells. Voltage-gated sodium channels…

responses that are strongest during the rising phase of the ORN response since the ORN  PN synapses display short-term depression that causes ORN spikes that arrive later to produce smaller postsynaptic potentials than the ones produced by earlier spikes. In depressing synapses, successive action potentials result in smaller and smaller postsynaptic responses. The reduction in postsynaptic responses could be due to smaller amount of neurotransmitter release by the presynaptic neuron. Depressing…

1. The peripheral nervous system, which is divided into the sensory and motor divisions, is involved in physical sensation. Sensory impulses move though the body by being stimulated by a receptor in the skin. It then travels to the sensory neurons and through the afferent fibers, were it will end up at the spinal cord as well as the brain. 2. The motor division of the nervous system are involved in skeletal muscle movement. Motor impulses move through efferent fibers. A motor unit is a motor…

In order for Autism to be treated effectively there must first be an understanding of the potential causes and diagnosis of the disorder. According to (Turnbull, Turnbull, & Shogren , 2011), autism spectrum disorder is “a “developmental disability that significantly affects a student’s verbal and nonverbal communication, social interaction, and educational performance, often manifesting in children by the age of three.” The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines this…

A5. ASPECTS NOT BEING ADDRESSED Some of the potential barriers to suicide prevention include the stigma associated with suicide and suicide ideation, lack of primary prevention strategies and programs. The community does not prioritize primary suicide prevention. It appears as if the community does not apparently understand the concept of primarily suicide prevention. In addition, the community is compliant with school bullying culture, which leaves vulnerable adolescents without a recourse…
