The information presented in this section supports the following AP® learning objectives and science practices:
2.C.1.1 The student is able to predict the direction and the magnitude of the force exerted on an object with an electric charge
q placed in an electric field
E using the mathematical model of the relation between an electric force and an electric field:
F =
qE ; a vector relation.
(S.P. 6.4, 7.2)
2.C.1.2 The student is able to calculate any one of the variables—electric force, electric charge, and electric field—at a point given the values and sign or direction of the other two quantities.
(S.P. 2.2)
5.B.2.1 The student is able to calculate the expected behavior of a system using the object model (i.e., by ignoring changes in internal structure) to analyze a situation. Then, when the model fails, the student can justify the use of conservation of energy principles to calculate the change in internal energy due to changes in internal structure because the object is actually a system.
(S.P. 1.4, 2.1)
5.B.3.1 The student is able to describe and make qualitative and/or quantitative predictions about everyday examples of systems with internal potential energy.
(S.P. 2.2, 6.4, 7.2)
5.B.3.2 The student is able to make quantitative calculations of the internal potential energy of a system from a description or diagram of that system.
(S.P. 1.4, 2.2)
5.B.3.3 The student is able to apply mathematical reasoning to create a description of the internal potential energy of a system from a description or diagram of the objects and interactions in that system.
(S.P. 1.4, 2.2)
5.B.4.1 The student is able to describe and make predictions about the internal energy of systems.
(S.P. 6.4, 7.2)
5.B.4.2 The student is able to calculate changes in kinetic energy and potential energy of a system, using information from representations of that system.
(S.P. 1.4, 2.1, 2.2)
When a free positive charge
is accelerated by an electric field, such as shown in
[link] , it is given kinetic energy. The process is analogous to an object being accelerated by a gravitational field. It is as if the charge is going down an electrical hill where its electric potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Let us explore the work done on a charge
by the electric field in this process, so that we may develop a definition of electric potential energy.
A charge accelerated by an electric field is analogous to a mass going down a hill. In both cases potential energy is converted to another form. Work is done by a force, but since this force is conservative, we can write
.
The electrostatic or Coulomb force is conservative, which means that the work done on
is independent of the path taken. This is exactly analogous to the gravitational force in the absence of dissipative forces such as friction. When a force is conservative, it is possible to define a potential energy associated with the force, and it is usually easier to deal with the potential energy (because it depends only on position) than to calculate the work directly.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
