    To what extent does heat exposure affect an athlete? Heat exposure is a factor that is essential to be considered by athletes to maximise performance level. Researchers have investigated that excessive heat exposure or exercise hyperthermia has detrimental effects on exercise physiology. Little is understood regarding the effects of hyperthermia and how heat exposure affects the body. Localised heat studies using water immersion to increase muscle temperature have been conducted to investigate the

    find out if surface area affects reaction rate‚ and this experiment proved that surface area in fact does affect reaction rate. My experiment used a berocca tablet that was either cut into sections or left whole‚ the smaller fractions had a larger surface area as there was more area to cover‚ the pieces were then put into water to see what sized tablet reacted to the water the fastest. My hypothesis was supported as it was proven that the smaller pieces which had a larger surface area were much quicker

    indicator that would change from green to pink when exposed to HCl. To prepare the agar blocks‚ I used knife and ruler to acquire 5 agar blocks with equal dimensions of 3.0cm by 1.0cm by 0.5cm. Then I prepared 5 different concentrations of HCl with equal volume of 5cm^3 in test tubes‚ which were 0.0M. 0.2M‚ 0.4M‚ 0.6M‚ 0.8M and finally 1.0M of HCl. Then‚ I placed the agar blocks into respective test tubes‚ measuring the time taken for the agar blocks to turn from green to completely pink. This was repeated

    Performance Task in GEOMETRY * Computation of the surface area‚ amount and type of needed material and the volume of the package. Volume V= L x H x W = (23 cm) (4 cm) (12cm) = (276) (4) = 1 104 cm Area A= L x W = (23cm) (12cm) = 276cm Surface Area A= 2(Lh) + 2(Lw) + 2(Wh) / 2( lh + lw + wh) = 2(23*4) + 2(23*12) + 2(12*4) = 2(92) + 2(276) + 2(48)

    acid. Planning Aim To determine how the surface area of the tablets affects the rate of the reaction. To determine which form of tablets gives the biggest surface area resulting in the fastest reaction rate. Investigation question: What is the relationship between the total surface area of the tablets and the rate of the reaction? Hypothesis: The rate of reaction will be the fastest when the tablets crushed into powder as there is a bigger total surface area resulting in more effective collisions

    FORMAL REPORT ON HEAT CAPACITY RATIOS OF GASES ABSTRACT This report discusses an investigation of the heat capacities of Helium‚ Nitrogen‚ and Carbon Dioxide. To accurately determine experimental values for the heat capacity of each gas‚ the heat capacity ratio was calculated from measurements of the speed of sound in each gas. An apparatus designed to measure the wavelength and frequency of sound waves in each gas was used to determine the speed of sound as a frequency was passed through each

    The Aspire of Importing and Exporting _______________ gave this class a chance to help them figure out which floor matting will help a cargo box stop from moving. One factor that is used is friction. Friction happens when two surfaces rub against each other and may cause heat. Also there are four types of friction which are static‚ sliding‚ rolling‚ and fluid friction. The company needs the class to find out what type of flooring is best to use to stop a cargo box from moving. They have game systems

    Does Soap Affect the Surface Tension of Water? Background: Surface tension refers to water’s ability to "stick to itself". Surface tensioncan be measured and observed by dropping water (drop by drop) onto a penny. Thenumber of water drops that can fit on a penny will surprise you. Question: How does soap affect the water’s surface tension? Hypothesis: I think that the surface tension of soapy water will be less than that of freshwater because H 2 0 has strong polar bonds‚ and when water is mixed
