different forms of energy and work. Not only does the thermodynamic state define volume, temperate and pressure, it will contain heat sources giving a capacity, and change state. The idea of thermodynamics is for the system to adjust itself back into its original state of an equilibrium. Through expressing the laws of thermodynamics, it is apparent that heat energy is important in the world in order to achieve ultimate equilibrium. When given a system, it is states that energy cannot be created…
Most people dread going to their jobs. They hate putting on their plain uniform, and dealing with crabby and ungrateful people, not to mention the drive to work for these people is almost as terrible as work itself. I am nothing like this. Every day before I work, I put on my athletic shorts, t-shirt, socks, and I am excited to start my job. I enjoy my drive to work, and when I get there I am greeted by a few co-workers. I then put my bags in the office, and make my way to the gym. The other…
An individual’s personal goals will depend on what he or she chooses. For instance, a person wanting to gain muscle strength will want more protein. A person who wants to simply lose weight will likely want the fat burner supplements and the energy enhancers. Besides supplements, a person’s eating habits must be changed in order to adequately lose weight. A person needs to purchase healthy options from the grocery store, meaning that they must buy whole grain foods, non-processed foods, fruits…
Average Metabolic Rate Difference of Goldfish in Dark vs. Ambient Light Introduction Metabolism is an interesting field of study to better understand what is happening inside of the body of different organisms that keep them alive. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) were used for this experiment since these small animals metabolism can be easily influenced by different variables. This is due to the fact that goldfish are poikilothermic whose internal temperature is influenced by their surroundings.…
The opportunity for career advancement within the Social Security Administration is what motivates me to work harder, take on more projects, and continuously study the law. It is in the agency 's best interest to have a legal assistant that goes above the call of duty and possesses the talent, legal knowledge, and competencies necessary to not only accomplish the mission but also exceed external customers ' satisfaction. Pursuing my Master 's degree is part of reaching the ultimate goal of…
What is meant by the specific heat capacity of a substance? It is the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of a body by one Kelvin unit, expressed as J/K/g. The specific heat capacity also can be measured in J/K/Kg and J/K/mol. Substance Specific heat Capacity (J/K/g) Water 4.18 acetone 2.17 hexane 2.26 Compare the specific heat capacity of water with a range of other solvents. The table compares the heat capacities of water and two other solvents. Compare the…
These wings give males a selective advantage; they are able to attract female mates. Similar to migrating birds, the monarch butterflies use the clear benefit of updrafts of warm air, called “thermals” and glide as they migrate, to preserve the energy required for flapping their wings throughout the voyage. Studies show that monarch butterflies that migrate for long distances have evolved significantly bigger and longer wings than their cousins. These long wings have a narrow tip, thereby…
The Leadership Challenge The Leadership Challenge book provides great perception on ways to become a better leader. The author will review lessons learned from the first three chapters and provide insight on how some of the leadership qualities have been displayed in her life. When Leaders Are at Their Best At the start of The Leadership Challenge book in the first chapter, it discusses a success leadership story that generates thought into what the author has done in her own past and…
B. Wind Energy 1. Introduction South Dakota has enormous potential for wind energy development. Due to the fact that South Dakota with it great plains are an ideal site for wind farms since the plains have smooth hill tops that can catch prevailing winds. This is why South Dakota ranks sixth in the United States for potential in generating more electricity from wind. As of today South Dakota produces 26 percent of their electricity from wind. We have the potential to double this amount if…
in industry. You must understand the terms related to temperature measurement. Temperature Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object; kinetic energy is the rate at which molecules or particles move. When particles of any matter (solids, liquids, gases or elementary plasmas) move faster, they carry more kinetic energy and feel warmer than a material with slower particles. Boiling Boiling is the process where molecules transition from the liquid phase to…
