Experiment to investigate how the Initial Height of which a Ball is dropped affects its Fractional Loss of Kinetic Energy Research Question: What is the relationship between initial height of a drop and the fractional loss of kinetic energy in a bouncing ball? Introduction: When an object is held at a height above the ground‚ it possesses gravitational potential energy (Ep = mg∆h) that is directly dependent of the mass and height of which the object is positioned above the ground. When it is

hearing‚ taste‚ smell‚ position‚ movement‚ balance‚ and touch. If someone bounces a basketball‚ our eyes and ears pick up stimuli such as light and sound waves and send neural signals to the brain. This process called sensation occurs when physical energy from objects in the world or in the body stimulates the sense organs. However‚ only when the signals come together meaningfully do we actually perceive a bouncing basketball. Perception happens when the

The vibration of the basketball hitting the ground is the best feeling the world. Light was shining through the humongous windows onto the worn out gym floor like a flash light. The other teams jerseys were as red as a rose...and as red as the blood pouring out of my mouth. Thats a good story. I am here to tell you about it. I was about ten years old‚ 4th grade.

was the ball‚ held in the referee’s hands‚ about to be thrown up into the air. I stood a few feet behind the boy on the opposite team‚ poised and ready to catch the ball when my teammate smacked it toward me. Oh‚ I was so nervous.

I hadn’t even seen it flying toward me when I was looking straight at

How does temperature affect the rate of reaction for Lipase? As the temperature increases‚ so will the rate of enzyme reaction. However‚ as the temperature exceeds the optimum the rate of reaction will decrease. I predict that at temperatures above 70°C the enzyme lipase will become denatured and at temperatures below 10°C the enzyme will become inactive. Since lipase operates within the human body I’d also predict that its optimum temperature would be around human body temperature which is approximately
