more muscular definition, Enables weight loss and keeps it off, Makes you limber, and Improves endurance. Heat Exhaustion comes from dehydration and can lead to the potentially fatal heat stroke. When you get too hot the body’s reaction is to sweat for temperature control. Not replenishing these lost fluids properly can lead to more extreme heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. Heat Stroke is where the body’s ability to cool itself by sweating is shut down. All temperature control is removed and

The type of internal combustion engine used for the experiment was a Petter four stroke diesel engine. Objectives- Using the measurements of the different energy contributions to find out how the energy put into a diesel engine is used and where in the engine it is used. Using this information I can come to conclusions on how an engine

process by which a liquid absorbs heat and changes to a vapor. A good example is a puddle of water after a rainfall. Why does the puddle dry up? The water in the puddle absorbs heat from the sun and the environment and escapes as a vapor. "Escape" is a good term to use when discussing evaporation. When the liquid is subjected to heat, its molecules move around faster. Some of the molecules may move quickly enough to break away from the surface of the liquid and carry heat away in the form of a vapor or

Lisa Ms. Conroy E block 6/4/12 The Effects of Global Warming Global warming is when the Earth heats up. It happens when greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This hurts us, animals, and plants. Carbon dioxide is produced through respiration and photosynthesis, but when there is too much carbon dioxide, like when produced through the burning of fossil fuels; deforestation starts

(especially muscles) due to glucose metabolism (to produce energy), because of this, your breathing becomes faster to eliminate CO2 which also causes acidity. Your heart rate increases in order to pump more oxygenated blood around the body. Another factor is heat, because your body uses energy up, body temperature is increasing and overheating is prevented through sweating which cools your body down. When you sweat, you lose some water, this signal is received by the brain's thirst centre and so it makes you

Functions: Steam is produced by boiling water the pressure of the expanding steam is used to push a piston back and forth in a tube called a cylinder, the piston fits tightly inside the cylinder. The piston is attached to the piston rod, as the piston rod goes in and out it drives another rod called the driving rod. The driving rod turns a wheel called the fly wheel which turns steadily even when the piston is at the end of its stroke and is not

Your body tries to dehydrate its self by changing energy and turning it to sweat. By doing so the sweat runs down the body and tries to cool it down. Another way the body tries to get rid of heat it by getting rid of excuse fluid in the body. When someone drinks water the body will try to cool its self of but needing to go to the bathroom
