Answer:

The mechanical energy of a pendulum is the sum of two types of energy:

- The kinetic energy (KE), which is the energy associated to the motion of the pendulum, and which is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass of the pendulum and v its speed;

- The potential energy (PE), which is the energy associated to the position of the pendulum, and which is given by

PE=mgh

where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h the height of the pendulum, relative to its equilibrium position

The mechanical energy is the sum of these two values:

E = KE + PE

And neglecting air resistance, the pendulum is an isolated system, so the mechanical energy remains constant:

E=const.

This means that the energy continuously converts from kinetic energy and potential energy, and viceversa.

In particular, at the following moments we have:

i. the moment at which it completes one cycle, just before it begins to fall back towards the other end --> potential

In fact, in this position the speed is zero, so the kinetic energy is zero.

ii. the moment that it is in the middle between the two ends --> kinetic

In fact, in this position the height of the pendulum is zero, so the potential energy is zero.

iii. just before it reaches the end of one cycle (just before instant i --> kinetic and potential

In fact, here the pendulum has not reached yet its maximum height: so, it is still in motion, therefore it still has kinetic energy and potential energy.

Answer:

The ability of caffeine to inhibit adenosine receptors, plays a very important role in heightened alertness and sleeplessness.

Explanation:

"<em><u>Caffeine</u></em>" (<em>1,3,7-trimethylxanthine</em>) is an alkaloid obtained from plants. It has a chemical formula of C8H10N4O2.

Caffeine is generally <em>hydrophillic</em> but sufficiently <em>lipophilic</em> to pass through all biological membranes and readily cross the blood-brain barrier.

Therefore can bind with the adenosine receptors. Due to the blocking of adenosine inhibitory effects through its receptors held by paraxanthine and caffeine, it indirectly affects the release of <u>norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, glutamate</u> e.t.c.

The release of the above-mentioned hormones have a great impact on the heightened alertness of the body, especially <em>dopamine</em> and <em>serotonin</em>.

Explain why increased ecosystem diversity contribute to increased biodiversity in the biosphere
Leto [7]

Answer: Diversity, referring to the state of having many different organisms cohabitate within an area is a desirable outcome for many ecosystems. The presence of a wide spectrum of different organisms allows for more life to be able to thrive in an ecosystem. For example, an ecosystem with a wide array of shrubs, grasslands and forested areas is able to accommodate more life forms than an ecosystem of just forest. This increased capacity to support life directly improves the capacity of the biosphere to support life as well, diversity leading to growth.
