    Once you are almost at the bottom of the mountain before friction slows you down, you have hit your terminal velocity and the highest speed of kinetic energy. You are moving faster in this place than you are anywhere else during the ride. When you’re on your way to speed up the loop, you have a very fast velocity. In this place, you also have a large amount of air resistance acting on you due to friction and your direction. During this part, you experience…

    U=A_p/S_s v Where Ss is the cross sectional area of the sample, and v is the terminal velocity of the mass which is obtained by timing how long the mass takes to travel a defined length. The flow resistivity is thus: r=(CMgcos(ψ) S_s t)/(LA_p^2 ) A correction factor (C) [9] is used to account for leakage between the mass and the pipe wall…

    They advocated that in sprinting sports, high-load eccentric contractions should be performed at a slow to moderate angular velocity and focused at the knee joint, while the hip is kept in a large flexion position (80°) in order to expose the hamstrings to a greater elongation stress than occurs in the terminal swing phase, thus preventing overstretch of the hamstrings. This study revealed an aspect of hamstring strain prevention is not only a question of strength,…

    instance, an action potential at the dendrites will move to the cell body, and then from the cell body it will be propagated in one direction along the axon until it gets to the terminal. The axons of some neurons have an extra layer called a myelin sheath (myelinated). The myelin sheath is an insulator that helps increase the velocity at which an action potential is propagated along an axon. The myelin sheath is commonly made of a type of glial cell known as the Schwann cell. The Schwann cells…

    Candy Land is a brand new, hydraulic steel roller coaster ride, using an abundant amount of modern technology, recently added to Hershey Park. Loops, a corkscrew around some delicious ice cream, and a 100 foot drop are all included in the ride. Not only is there scrumptious looking scenery, but also the roller coaster has an average speed of 60 miles per hour, and can reach speeds up to 85 miles per hour. If friction and gravity were not present during the ride all of the passengers would go…

    Gravity is pushing down so much you're just weightless riding down a free fall. Then suddenly you're upside down going around 2 loops pass the gold mine express, where kinetic energy, In addition centripetal force, and terminal velocity is. Your flying past everything around the fastest corner gaining friction where little bushes and palm trees stand with anIn addition, you see giant boulders in the way surrounded by a stream.As acceleration speeds up you go through the curve…

    Furthermore, high-velocity perfusion due to minimal dilatation of the terminal segments of the spiral arteries leads to hydrodynamic stress in the intervillous space. This placenta stress stimulates the release of a number of factors derived from the trophoblast, and these factors, in turn, contribute to the widespread multisystemic maternal inflammatory response observed in preeclampsia (Tjoa, Levine and Karumanchi, 2007). Such placental-derived factors comprise of the anti-angiogenic proteins,…

    Fish’s consist of a diverse amount of species each known for their characteristics that set them apart from the rest. The characteristics that make the general understanding of a fish are, vertebrate, aquatic, Gills rather than lungs, paired limbs(fins) for locomotion, and are covered with scales. When we see fishes in aquariums we have an irresistible urge to tap the glass, and in doing so, a lot of the fishes get startled and move away performing a sequence of steps called an c-start used as…
