    causes peripheral vasodilation and warm blood flows to the surface of the body, the skin takes on a reddish colour and skin temperature rises. The heat generated can be dissipated to the surrounding environment via any exposed skin, this process is known as radiation. If the hike was vigorous, blood flow to the skin will have increased and in turn the sweat glands will have been stimulated to increase their secretory output. As the perspiration flows across the body’s surface evaporative heat losses

    Counting down the seconds in a crowded dark hallway, listening behind doors to the song Welcome to the Jungle blasting in the gymnasium mixed with the sounds of the crowds roaring. The only thoughts going through everyone's head, is that this might be the last time we ever play together again. As soon as the song gets to the que we run out of the hallway under a tunnel made of arms, running into the moment that can make it or break it. A timeless sport filled with -- rapid movements, sweat, anxiety

    When you begin running your body starts using ATP converting it into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) another molecule that gives you energy. Our cells then begin to break down GLYCOGEN (a type of glucose stored in our molecules) in order to produce more ATP. Our body only stores 2-3 seconds of ADP after the initial exercise cells recycle the ADP back into ATP. The process of converting ATP to ADP and back creates the release of lactic acid. After 10 minutes our body efficiently uses OXYGEN, BURNS FAT

    Chemical reactions usually involve the absorption or release of energy, often as heat. When a chemical reaction occurs at constant pressure, the energy released is equal to the heat flow and is known as enthalpy. Heat is a form of energy that flows into or out of a system because of temperature differences. If a reaction releases heat, it is exothermic; if a reaction absorbs heat, it is endothermic. The enthalpy change of a reaction is measured using a calorimeter, an insulated device that prevents

    4.18 whereas for saltwater (25% salt) and oil it is respectively 3.99 and 1.67. Higher capacity means that it takes much more heat energy to increase the temperature of water by 1°C than it does to cause the same temperature change in other substances Water has such a high heat capacity because when molecules are heated, they move around faster as they gain more energy. Since H2O is a polar molecule where the two H atoms are positively charged and the O is negatively charged. Positive attracts to

    stuck to individual atoms but flow freely among the atoms. Of course, that's why metals are such good conductors of electricity. Different elements have different flame colors because their electrons have different energy levels. The Bohr model says that electrons exist only at certain energy levels. When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are “excited” to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a portion of energy. The color of the light depends

    legislations from UK Government and EU standards have been raised for lower energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions to meet stated demands. Up until now the construction industry has been introducing new products in order to meet the lower energy targets. Also the technological developments has given the opportunity to the manufacturers to produce highly efficient heat emitters. These will help reduce overall energy consumption and also will help to achieve a reduced carbon emission. In

    Insulation is most commonly for heat and maintaining heat energy. This experiment tests the insulation of several cups and how they keep liquids hot. Each cup used in the experiment has some insulation. The cups have different amounts of insulation. Each of these cups are generally used as insulators for many liquids. Insulation slows the process of heat leaving an object. Most insulation contains lots of air spaces. The air spaces slow the flow of heat leaving the object because the heat takes longer
