Potential energy is also used during the ride. Potential energy is stored energy. The amount of potential energy of an object depends on its position or condition. There is gravity all around my ride. Gravity is the force exerted by every object in the universe on every other object. So there is a lot of gravity

specific volume, but not a definite shape. Gas molecules are far apart, move randomly and freely, and have weak cohesive forces. This molecular motion is affected by temperature and determines the state, or phase, of matter as well as its kinetic energy. Molecular motion for

Kyndon Boatman How does a basketball’s bounce change due to surface Research Summary Will the surface affect a bouncing ball- When a ball bounces it uses kinetic and potential. When it is in your hand it is potential when it hits the ground it is kinetic. On average there are 15 dribbles in 1 trip down the court,so dribbling is an important part of the game. If you drop a ball from a set distance and it is regulation air pressure on a gym wood surface it will bounce back up ⅔ of the height you

(B-C)(30) BLOCK-CHARGEs are used to calculate energy or demand costs that vary according to the amount consumed. BLOCK-CHARGEs are also used for time-of-use demand charges. Up to 30 BLOCKCHARGEs may be defined, and up to 10 may be referenced by each UTILITY-RATE. The same BLOCK-CHARGE may be referenced by more than one UTILITY-RATE; the program automatically makes as many working copies as are required. See the RATCHET command. BLOCK-CHARGE defines the energy or demand charges that vary according to the

Executive Summary The goal of this experiment was to measure the latent heat of ice. The value of the latent heat of ice was obtained by measuring the amount of boiling water needed to melt a given mass of ice. After repeating the procedure three times, the latent heat of ice was calculated for each test, and then averaged. The heat released by the boiling water is the product of specific heat, mass, and temperature change, while the heat required to melt the ice is the product of the mass of ice

Energy Content of Foods Written by Chris Papadopoulos The energy content of foods is investigated. The energy released by a number of food samples and absorbed by water is determined using technology. Inferences about the energy content of foods with high fat content and foods with high carbohydrate content are then made. Hypothesis Foods, depending on their carbohydrate/fat composition, have different energy content that can be determined by measuring the heat release from their combustion
