people fail to realize the importance of physics in athletics. People who are untrained in the scientific field may believe that an athlete’s performance level is solely based on their skill-set‚ such as strength and training. However‚ one’s ability to employ physics concepts is the true determinant for success. This is imperative to dancers; most movement and technique can be improved dramatically by following Newton’s laws accordingly. By utilizing key physics concepts‚ a dancer can improve by locating

Chapter 25 Electrical Power and Domestic Electricity Checkpoint (p.197) 1. The heating effect of current increases with the applied voltage across the wire. Microscopically‚ when a voltage is applied across the ends of a metal wire‚ an electric field is set up between the ends. The free electrons are accelerated by the field and collide frequently with the metal ions in the wire. Thus‚ some energy is transformed into the internal energy of the wire. When the applied voltage increases‚ the electric
