the meat (red or white) and eggs, among others. Most of the energy of our body is a type of sugar called glucose, which is transported by the blood. In order the muscles to perform movements, they need power, which is produced from many chemical reactions in which the primary (but not sole) components are oxygen and glucose. This is the aerobic metabolism (which needs oxygen). However, athletes run short distances have developed an anaerobic metabolism, i.e., they are capable to produce energy quickly

The Study of Heat, Kinetic Energy Theory of Matter, and Temperature Name University Physical Science Professor 17 July 2011 Abstract In this paper, I will discuss the similarities and differences between heat, temperature, and the kinetic energy theory of matter. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the study of heat relates to the kinetic energy theory of matter. It will also discuss what the study of heat is. I will then explain what temperature is. I will follow this by then

Assignment 4: Types of Force Instructor’s Overview In many physics problems involving Newton’s laws of motion, you’ll see statements like, “assume a frictionless surface” or “neglecting air resistance…” In this lab we will be exploring both friction and air resistance, two resistive forces that are critical in the design of real-world products and systems. Understanding the effects of these types of forces is essential in the design of such things as aircraft, automobiles, braking systems,

PHYSICS of ROWING Understanding the basic physic concepts in rowing Phys120 Term Paper PHYSICS BEHIND ROWING Rowing is one of the oldest sports in the world history. Though, rowing has deeper history since oared vessels had been used for transportation, fishing, warfare etc. It is principally all about finding out using the oars to move forward the boats in water. Then, rowing naturally becomes a sport in course of time, with the desire of competition. Which brings the question;
