    effectors of the drop time of a parachute, which can be proven through Newton’s second law, F=ma (Force=mass*acceleration). Rearranged, this gives a=F/m, where acceleration can also be gravity, if falling down. Another equation is a=v/t (acceleration=velocity/time) and a=(√2s)/t (acceleration=(sqrt2*distance)/time). The research question that this investigation will explore is: How is the drop time of a parachute affected by its mass? Photo 1: Parachute…

    energy stored in battery bank before the rest power inverted again from DC to AC source. Fig(1) The power energy available in wind can be expressed in mathematical equation as: = Air density (approx.1.225 kg/m3 at sea level) = Velocity of wind (m/s) = Area through which the wind passes normally (m2) This cubic relationship mean the power availability is extremely sensitive to wind speed The power extracted from wind energy is just a fraction of this equation.…

    epidermis and dermis are penetrated throughout by free nerve endings of Aδ and C fibres. Aδ-fibres typically exhibit medium-sized cell bodies, thinly myelinated axons and intermediate conduction velocities (9). C-fibres on the other hand exhibit small cell bodies, no myelin sheath and slow conduction velocities (9). Both types of fibres aid in thermotransduction (9). Specific thermosensitive channels are believed to be associated with these free nerve endings, working in concert to orchestrate…
