    which is when gravity accelerates a falling object, its converts its potential energy to kinetic energy. Likewise, when an object is lifted the gravitational field stores the energy exerted by the lifter as potential energy in the earth-object system. The second one is electric and magnetic force fields which is charged particles, upon which electrical fields exert forces, possess potential energy in the presence of an electric field in a way similar to that of an object in a gravitational field

    a dial is turned to wind up a spring. You are doing work to wind the spring, which is stored as elastic potential energy of the music box. After the dial is released, the spring unwinds and converts its potential energy into kinetic energy of the ballerina.) Toy chosen: The toy chosen is the Surfhover board Description of how toy operates: The toy operates through the use of electric energy. It is a toy that moves on top of the water. Description of the energy transformations: (what

    Introduction Biopotential signals are electrical activities of the human body systems which are measured by potential fluctuations between points in living cells, tissues and organisms .In medicine field, certain biopotential signals are important as they are considering diagnosis and patient monitoring. These signals represent the activity of particular organs such as the heart, brain, muscles and many more. With the help of specialised electrodes, biopotential signals transduce low-noise and

    The neuron’s resting membrane potential is usually -70 millivolts. This charge comes from the fact that there are more negatively charged sodium ions outside the cell than there are positive potassium ions inside the cell. These ions are arranged by the sodium-potassium pump: for every 2 potassium ions it pumps into the cell, it pumps out 3 sodium ions. The membrane is also riddled with ion channels, large proteins that provide passage when their respective gates open. Most are voltage-gated channels

    all systems, in a continuous cycle of revising and reacting. This communication is made at a cellular level by transmitting electric-chemical signals from cell to cell, to produce physical and chemical reactions. Neurons or nerve cells are excitable cells. They receive, process and transmit information as electrical/chemical signals. Those signals are called Action Potentials and they have specific properties and characteristics. We wanted to gain practical experience and study some of the nerve

    at the top of a ramp with gravitational potential energy. As it rolls down the ramp, its gravitational potential energy turns into kinetic energy. Once the ball gets to the bottom of the ramp, the ball has no gravitational potential energy only kinetic energy. The ball continues to roll because it has momentum until it hits a domino line. The ball transfers its momentum to the

    sensory receptors to the relevant worried gadget. Sensory neurons transmit reactive responses from the periphery to the imperative fearful device even as the motor division conducts action potentials from effector organs which include muscular tissues and glands. In assessment, motor neurons transmit motion potentials from the vital worried device toward the periphery .The nervous gadget consists of tens of millions of nerve cells referred to as neurons.

    The first oven he had ever seen was a not a new oven but a oven that saved energy and transferred electrical energy to thermal energy. Mr.Baker did not understand what this meant, so he asked the store clerk what this meant. “This meant that the electric in powers the oven and it turns into heat and it also uses a lot less than a lot less power to heat up,”explained the clerk. Page 6:Mr.Baker liked this oven but he wanted to see if there was any other oven better than this one.He went down the
