OBSERVING WAVE PULSES - EXPERIMENT 15 PART 1 - Transverse Wave Pulses Q1 - As the pulse travels down through the spring‚ its‚ size and amplitude is reduced - the sizes of the waves are much smaller as the forces become weaker (losing energy) as the distance from the point of initiation is increased. Q2 - Pulses do not ’catch up’ with one another in transverse waves. They either meet at a certain point momentarily or pass through each other and continue on their way as if nothing has happened.

The tar contains carcinogenic compounds that increase the risk of lung cancer. The small particles in cigarette smoke‚ including carcinogens‚ irritants‚ and

How a faster pulse rate after exercise affects the amount of carbon dioxide in breath and how males and females pulse rates change or don’t after exercise Introduction There is a chemical reaction that takes place in this lab‚ O2 + C6H12O6 –> H2O + CO2 + ATP. This represents cellular respiration‚ the reaction. The reactants are Oxygen and Glucose. The products are water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and ATP. This reaction is split into 3 stages‚ the Glycolysis stage‚ the Krebs cycle‚ and the Electron Transport

techniques including hip replacement surgery‚ kidney transplants‚ heart transplants and blood transfusions were all perfected in animals. Thanks to animal research‚ primarily in mice‚ cancer survival rates have continued to rise. Herceptin – a humanized mouse protein – has helped to increase the survival rate of those with breast cancer; it could not have been attained without animal research in mice. Animal research is responsible for the development of asthma inhalers; asthma still kills around 2‚000

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the speed of sound in air through the pulse-echo experiment and the measured air temperature. Hypothesis: I believe the measured air temperature will affect the speed of sound because sound waves are longitudinal waves composed of the alternating compressions and rarefactions in air. If the air temperature is below 0°C‚ then the speed of sound would be lower than 331.6 m/s and if the air temperature is above 0°C‚ then the speed of sound would be higher
