Objective: To study the conservation of energy and momentum using projectile motion. Theory: The ballistic pendulum demonstrates both the constant horizontal velocity in projectile motion and the conservation of momentum. Because there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction‚ the horizontal component (v_x) of the projectile’s velocity remains unchanged from its initial value throughout the motion. In a closed isolated system‚ if no net external force acts on a system of particles‚ the total

The idea of ex-felons not being able to vote during an election period is nothing sort of absurd and preposterous. Civilians are incarcerated for various crimes and for the most part it’s because of violent crimes that they’ve committed. So laws that prevent ex-felons from owning guns and leaving the country makes sense because as a collective society‚ we wouldn’t want ex-felons to own any dangerous arms or leave the country to escape the laws of America that prevent them from committing violent

Glucose is one of the key nutrients required in the body. However‚ its amount in the body has to be regulated and maintained in a very narrow range. This regulation of glucose is performed by insulin hormone. Insulin is secreted at the pancreas and hence is referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones. Insulin is secreted by beta cells‚ which are normally located at the pancreas. When the amount of glucose in the blood increases‚ the stimulus for insulin secretion triggered. The insulin level secreted
