By looking at the potential energies before and after the reaction, we can tell that the reaction is exothermic (final < initial) or endodermic (final > initial).
Also, the amount of activation energy gives an idea of the external energy required to initiate the reaction (for example, by heating the reactants).
Furthermore, by the same principle, we can also deduce the activation energy for the reverse reaction.
If a catalyst is available, the diagram will show a reduced activation energy, compared to a reaction without catalyst. However, it will also show that the catalyst does not alter the initial and final energies of the reaction.
Gate-control theory
<h3>What is Gate-control theory?</h3>
According to the Gate Control Theory of Pain, the spinal cord has a system that allows pain signals to be amplified in the brain before being processed at the spinal cord itself, or attenuated there.
The mechanism that allows or prevents the passage of pain signals is known as the gate. The gate may be open or it may be closed, one of two possibilities:
- When the gate is open, pain signals can enter and are delivered to the brain, where they are perceived as pain.
- If the gate is closed, pain signals will be prevented from ascending to the brain and won't be felt.
The administration of a non-noxious (soothing or light rubbing) stimulus can help engage the gate control mechanism and alleviate pain in those who are exposed to painful (noxious) stimuli.

Answer:
8.049 MW
Explanation:
The expression for gravitational potential energy is given as
Ep = mgh............. Equation 1
Ep = gravitational potential energy, m = mass of water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: m = 58.4×10³ kg, h = 20.1 m, g = 9.81 m/s²
Substitute into equation 1
Ep = 58.4×10³(20.1)(9.81)
Ep = 1.6098×10⁷ J.
If one half the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy
Electrical energy = Ep/2
Electrical energy = (1.6098×10⁷)/2
Electrical energy = 8.049×10⁶ J
In one seconds,
The power generated = 8.049×10⁶ W
Power generated = 8.049 MW
