system that, if implemented, are likely to help the system generate the desired results. EDF Energy (EDF) is a European energy company that experienced a merger in 2003 and is structured into four main branches: energy, customers, networks, and development. The increased size of the organization because of the merger, and the four main braches prompted the necessity for an improved performance management system. EDF identified 38 internal effects of performance management and divided them into four
takes a long time for planned tidal energy plants to be constructed and to get them running. Such a long gestation period, along with the high costs of construction, may not be considered worth the investment compared with other renewable energy projects such as wind and solar energy. Distance from the grid In many cases, the energy generated by the tides is a long distance from where the electricity will be consumed inland. This makes it difficult for tidal energy to provide electricity for any communities
a spark of electricity can measure up to 3,000 volts? Electricity is all around us. It powers cars, computers, cell phones, television sets, stoves, air conditioners, and gives us light. What is electricity? A simple definition would be a type of energy that can build up in one place or flow from one place to another, or the flow of charged atomic particles. It is a movement of charged atomic particles, called electrons, protons, and neutrons. The two main forms of electricity are static electricity
Miller and Spoolman the three principles of sustainability are solar energy, biodiversity, and chemical cycling (2010, p.5). Solar energy is the perfect energy because the sun always shines. Everyday we rely on solar energy so why not make solar energy work to our advantage. I can apply solar energy to my lifestyle by having items like solar panels installed on my home. With solar panels I will be able to generate my own clean energy therefore decreasing my reliance on the fossil fuels that currently
Astronomers believe the Sun is the star we can easily study. The Sun contains some basic elements that can be found on Earth. The Sun is estimated at 92% hydrogen and 8% helium. How the Sun Produces Energy The Sun produces numerous forms of energy that supports life on Earth. Without this energy provided by the Sun, most life forms known on Earth would come to an end. It will unquestionably change the life cycles and food chains. Like many stars, the Sun is made up of mainly hydrogen gas. The
Introduction Welcome to our city YRN. We have 600,000 residents in our city. Our city is cold during the winter and hot during the summer. We love the cold weather because it helps get rid of fungus on plants and crops. We love the hot weather because the sun helps our crops with photosynthesis. Our city consist of many mountains, oceans, and plains. We get our water from snow, rain, hail, rivers, oceans and lakes. 25 percent of our city is crops, 25 percent of our city is forests, and 50 percent
Argument Analyses: Get bigger, faster, and stronger with creatine Creatine is one the most common sports supplement out there. But readers need to know what it is, and how it works before putting it in their bodies. Creatine is found in foods like steak, and is naturally produced in the body by the liver and kidneys. Skeletal muscle contains 95% of all creatine. The heart, brain and testes hold the remaining 5%. The claim that this article is making is supplementing with creatine while being engaged
Specific Heat Lab Procedure: In order to find the specific heat of copper and the percent error of the calculations make the first step that need to be taken is to measure the mass of the copper. The mass needs to be between 25-30 grams of copper and put into a test tube. After finding the mass of the copper place two test tube holders on the test tube and suspend the copper filled test tube into a hot water bath provided by teacher. While the metal is heating, look up the real specific heat of copper
Stop and ask yourself how many times have you missed out on family things, and or plans with friends? Chances are that number is very high. Busyness is becoming very common in many people’s lives, whether that means school, work, extracurricular activities, sports, and much more. But are we all really too busy to do what we want, or is that just an excuse? For example according to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches up to 28 hours a week of television (Norman Herr). That’s almost a
Before the 1970’s, people thought that all life on earth derived from energy provided by the sun. As human beings, yes, it is essential for our bodies. We absorb sunlight through our skin and produce essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. The sun also warms our planet making living conditions tolerable. Without the sun our planet would be extremely cold and impossible to live on. Plants and animals also need the sun for existence. In fact, humans, animals and plants need the
1. a) Name 3 main fitness components this program is aiming to improve providing evidence with your reasoning? Aerobic power- An C player must be able to run for long periods of time while being able to still keep a fast pace. By improving their aerobic power, they will be able to keep of with the high demands of the sport. Through the long distance runs and circuit training, it’s clear to see this is a main fitness component the coach is targeting. Muscular endurance- As the player must continue
Water temperature changes will not produce an effect on photosynthetic properties of freshwater algae. Temperature affects photosynthesis by allowing the algae or aquatic vegetation to photosynthesize and respire when there is an optimum room temperature. As water temperature rises, the rate of photosynthesis increases, providing there are adequate amounts of nutrients, but if water temperature plummets and there is a lack of sufficient amounts of nutrients, then the rate of photosynthesis will decrease
Nuclear energy is energy inside the nucleus of an atom and it is the energy that is holding the proton and neutrons together. Nuclear energy can be converted by a power plant into electrical energy and the power plant is called nuclear power plant. There is two ways to obtain the energy. There is nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is where atoms are combined together to form a larger atom and nuclear fission is where the atoms are split to produce the energy. In fact, nuclear power
Kayleigh Smith Section 005 Marshawn Lynch’s approach to a more efficient workout is definitely one to take a closer look at. Lynch uses a device during his training called an elevation mask, which constricts your breathing through the mouth and the nose. A few questions arise—what effect does this mask have on ventilation and respiration of the respiratory cycle? Does the device in fact make it seem as if you’re working out in a high elevation setting, such as a mountain? From personal experience
Margot had been shaking when she walked out she could not even look at her classmates. She walked in a straight line and fell to her knees. They did not realize how mean they were to Margot. They had called the teacher in. Margot´s face was filled with tears, it was as red as a bright apple. Margot ran right to the teacher and told her all about what happened. The teacher took Margot took her to the bathroom and calmed her down. She had gave the class a long talk and the teacher was not giving a
Nuclear energy. we only really hear this term outside of chemistry when stories of disasters are broadcasted on TV. Chernobyl, and Fukushima being the two most prominent ones in our minds. We see these disasters happen, but what about the prominent real benefits of this type of energy. If we take proper care of our nuclear energy plants, then the U.S. should absolutely continue using it. There is no denying that nuclear energy is extremely dangerous when not taken care of properly. Nuclear power
Centripetal Force Experiment Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to verify the accepted equation for the centripetal force of a mass during uniform circular motion. The hypothesis to be tested is that the calculated centripetal force for the stopper will be equal to the weight of the washers Procedure Begin this experiment by putting on safety goggles and collecting all of your materials; a tube, string, rubber stopper, tape, paper clip, washers, and a timer. Begin by measuring the mass of
1. Explain what “proctoring” means and why the UoPeople requires proctored exams. In the context of examinations, proctoring essentially means supervision. A proctor, also called an invigilator, is a trusted party who ensures that the correct person is taking the exam and that the exam is free of other forms of cheating. Proctoring is used in online courses, such as those offered by UoPeople, when there is a significant chance of cheating and the consequences of this happening are substantive, for
Whether you are responsible for a major thoroughfare, commercial parking lot or residential driveway featuring asphalt pavement, you have probably heard that timely crack repairs can extend the life of your pavement. Cracks that are left open to the elements allow water to penetrate to the pavement's supporting foundation. The foundation becomes unstable and incapable of bearing the weight of the pavement, frequently leading to widespread damage that can only be remedied by replacing the pavement
is then transferred into creatine phosphate (which is also called phosphocreatine) where it remains in our muscles waiting to be used for energy. Phosphocreatine is typically used as a source of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). Adenosine triphosphate is the way to store and use energy biochemically in our bodies. To repeat, this means that ATP is the origin of energy in which keeps everything moving in the body. Typically this can be found when doing high-intensity exercise. In our skeletal muscles, you
