    no displacement‚ then he has done no work. The mathematical equation of work is W=F_II*∆x‚ where F represents the magnitude of the force vector that is parallel to the displacement vector‚ being delta x. Once the wrestler changes his stance‚ his potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and after this‚ he is experiencing energy in motion or kinetic energy while his is driving his opponent to the mat. The displacement that this causes results in work being done in Joules. Furthermore‚ the wrestler

    Step 1: The hand holding the the weight in the pendulum will release the weight and allow it to swing forward to hit the car. This is potential energy by the force of motion of the weight on the pendulum. Potential energy is the energy an object produces due to its position. The pendulum swinging is it being in motion therefore it has kinetic energy. The force shown form this could be Applied Force. Applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. Step 2: After

Terminal Branches of the Axon: junctions with other cells that releases chemicals called neurotransmitters. 6. Action Potential (here also describe threshold): level of stimulation received when a neuron is in its resting state and it determines if an electrical signal or neural impulse will be created or not. If the threshold is met‚ the neural impulse will form and be
