    Collision theory: Reactions only occur when particle of the reactant collide with a certain minimum kinetic energy. This energy is also known as activation enthalpy this energy must be supplied to the reactant to enable the bonds to stretch and break and the new bonds to form in the product. Most collisions do not result in a reaction, only the collision with enough activation enthalpy will react to produce the product. (1)(2) (10) Concentration: The collision theory states that for any

    because it will have more gravitational potential energy the higher dropped from. As it is dropped the ball will have kinetic energy, and then when it hits the ground changes to heat and sound energy, and kinetic as it rebounds back up. The higher up the ball is dropped from the more gravitational potential, more kinetic energy on the way down and therefore more sound heat and kinetic energy when hitting the ground. The ball will bounce higher the higher dropped from as the energy has to go

    of solutions that, after a certain amount of time, displays a sudden colour change. This process demonstrates chemical kinetics in action, which is the study of chemical processes and rates of reaction where the reaction rate is the speed at which the chemical reaction proceeds. It is dependent on several factors that rely on one basic underlying principle called collision theory. In order for a reaction to occur, the reactant molecules must collide with each other with a certain minimum energy called

    Introduction When an object collides with another, momentum is conserved, but kinetic energy is not. This experiment was designed to find if the coefficient of restitution, e, changes for high-velocity collisions. At low velocities colliding objects will tend to maintain their shape, size and elasticity, so e is likely to be constant over a range. However, at high velocities colliding objects may change their physical properties and therefore a change (probably a reduction) in e may be observed

    down a greater distance. once it goes down the bump/hill what is released is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion that takes you down the hill. The roller coaster’s energy constantly changes from potential to kinetic energy (Tom Harris). For example, when the roller coaster is going as high as it can, it is using potential energy. Once the roller coaster goes down the hill, the potential is converted into kinetic

    Introduction: Investigations into the mechanics of chemical kinetics can reveal invaluable information relating to the rates of reaction. There are numerable applications of reaction rates, knowledge in this area is pivotal for industrial, commercial and research sectors. Thus, allowing them the ability to manipulate a variety of factors of chemical reactions with the use of reaction rates. In the scope of the kinetics of clock reactions, there is a range of information that can be obtained about

    PHILIOSPHY OF NURSING This philosophy of nursing is assimilation of the author’s beliefs in regards of the metaparadigm through experience and understanding of knowledge. The author looks at the fundamental level, a theory which encompasses all or most theories. Attempts to view the theory as an interplay of energy, while looking at it in an atomic level. With the patient being the nucleus the primary structure and concentration of high energy while health and environment as different valence rings

    Experiment 18 A Factors Affecting Reaction Rate Bob Jones Josh October 2, 2014 Period 3 Introduction: In reference to the collision theory, molecules act as small spheres that collide and bounce off each other, transferring energy among themselves when the collide. In order for a reaction to occur, there must be collisions between molecules. Through experimentation, factors are discovered that influence the reaction rates of chemical reactions include

    A clock reaction is where the fusion of various reagents, with relation to time, cause a colour change in the solution. The end of the reaction rate is measured by the increase in the rate of concentration. There are two factors which contribute to the rate of the reaction, induction and inhibition. Induction is where the production rate of the clock chemical increases as the increases as the concentration of the solution increases. Whereas, Inhibition is where the chemical reacts with the clock

    1.0 Background Theory 1.1 Introduction This investigation aims to determine the relationship between air pressure and the bounce height of the ball, and what material (material of a basketball, volleyball and soccer ball) is best suited for a ball in order for it to achieve its greatest bounce height. 1.2 Research Questions 1. How does the air pressure inside a ball influence the bounce height/vertical motion of that ball? 2. How does the material of a ball affect the bounce height/vertical motion
