Mechanical energy Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position). Introduction: We use a system consisting of two weights hanging at each end of a thin thread lying over a wheel. A photo gate is placed so that the light is interrupted by the spokes of the wheel. The data are recorded electronically and this makes it possible

Communication Errors When information is transferred back and forth among the various parts of a computer‚ or transmitted from the earth to the moon and back‚ or‚ for that matter‚ merely left in storage‚ a chance exists that the bit pattern ultimately retrieved may not be identical to the original one. Particles of dirt or grease on a magnetic recording surface or a malfunctioning circuit may cause data to be incorrectly recorded or read. Static on a transmission path may corrupt portions of the

introduction More people die each year in United States from medication errors‚ than from highway accident‚ breast cancer or AIDS. It is described best as an “unintended act or as an act that does not achieve its intended outcome.” (Wideman‚ 2010). Medication errors are among the biggest issues devoted in health care setting today in America.
