Factors That Influence Exchange Rates Aside from factors such as interest rates and inflation‚ the exchange rate is one of the most important determinants of a country’s relative level of economic health. Exchange rates play a vital role in a country’s level of trade‚ which is critical to most every free market economy in the world. For this reason‚ exchange rates are among the most watched‚ analyzed and governmentally manipulated economic measures. But exchange rates matter on a smaller scale as

Biology Task To investigate the effect of some factor affecting pulse rate Aim TO investigate how exercise affects the pulse rate. To do this‚ we took our normal pulse rate and then compared it with the pulse rate after exercise (walking). We kept all other factors constant so as to study the effect of exercise on pulse rate. Introduction Our heart is a muscle. It’s located a little to the left of the middle of our chest‚ and it’s about the size of our fist. There are lots of muscles all over

Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate Aim: To use a simple reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid to discover concentration this determines how fast chemical reactions occur. Independent Variable: Concentration of hydrochloric acid (%) Dependent Variable: Time taken for chemical reaction to take place (sec) Hypothesis: My prediction is that the increased concentration of the thiosulfate will in turn lead to an increase in the rate of reaction. This is a well informed
