    scientific principles is kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy that an object possesses by virtue of being in motion. Kinetic energy increases as motion increases during the roller coaster ride. Potential energy is the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of particles in the system. Potential energy at its highest point is at the top of the starting hill‚ and declines as you move down the various hills. Thermal energy is

    carries important information through action potential‚ this is significant activity of the neurons to allow us to understand abnormality in the nerve that cause disorders. The objective of this study was to trigger a compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) and examine the effects of a stimulus voltage on a nerve and inspect their threshold‚ refractory period and also their velocity. Compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) are summed action potential of one nerve‚ one nerve consists of many neurons

    the passage of energy‚ particularly heat or electricity‚ through something • Rate of Change- the ratio of the difference in values of a variable during a time period to the length of that time period • Calorimeter- an apparatus for measuring the amount of heat given out or taken in during a process such as combustion or change of state. The measurements are often made by observing the amount of solid liquefied‚ or liquid vaporized‚ under set conditions. • Conservation of Energy- the principle

    research on hydropower and biomass energy. So if you find out what it is‚ roughly explain‚ and then say how we would use it to benefit Venezuela:  hydropower: what it is; ydro power is used to generate electricity. Eg Boulder dam Once the electricity is generated‚ it is mixed in with the rest of the power grid. So users of electricity can’t tell if their electricity came from a hydroelectric power plant‚ a nuclear power plant‚ or a wind turbine power plant. Things powered by electricity:

    ANDERSON’S WATER POTENTIAL VIDEO (SAVES TIME AND EFFORT!) Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit area compared to pure water. Which allows you to figure out where water’s going to flow due to osmosis‚ gravity‚ pressure and even surface tension. It also allows you to figure out if water will flow in the first place and if it will flow into the cell or not. Water Potential (symbol psi) = Solute Potential (symbol psi s) + Pressure Potential (symbol psi p) Solute Potential= -i (ionization

    (a) Define the term equilibrium potential and use the Nernst equation (see Appendix) to show how the equilibrium potentials for both sodium and potassium are calculated. Equilibrium potential is the potential of the membrane when there is no net flow of ions from one gradient to the other gradient. The ions are equal and are opposite of each other but not moving from one side to the other. Sodium: Ena=2.303((8.31 J m-1 K-1)(310K))/((1(= 9.65 x 104 c m-1))(log(150/15))= 61.54 mV Ek=2.303((8
