The higher value for alpha radiation is generally attributable to the high linear energy transfer ( LET ) coefficient, which is about one ionization of a chemical bond for every angstrom of travel by the alpha particle.

This work is stored in the bow as elastic potential energy, and when the bowstring is released, this stored energy is imparted to the arrow much more quickly than can be delivered by the muscles, resulting in much higher velocity and, hence, greater distance.

When a core electron is removed, leaving a vacancy, an electron from a higher energy level may fall into the vacancy, resulting in a release of energy.

In short, the electrons of the atoms in the atomizer can be promoted to higher orbitals ( excited state ) for a short period of time ( nanoseconds ) by absorbing a defined quantity of energy ( radiation of a given wavelength ).

These are processes which create compound nuclei at low excitation energy (~ 10-20 MeV, hence " cold "), leading to a higher probability of survival from fission.

On the other hand, were surface regions with lower energy available, the water occupying surface locations of higher potential energy would move to occupy these positions of lower energy, inasmuch as there is no barrier to lateral movement in an ideal liquid.

In these areas the wave energy breaking against the cliffs is higher, and air and water are compressed into cracks in the rock, forcing the rock apart, breaking it down.

Since meat has a higher energy density than vegetables, and cooking it allows more nutrients to be liberated to the body, the introduction of cooked meat in the human diet reduced the energy requirements of the digestive system.

Catalytic reactions have a lower rate-limiting free energy of activation than the corresponding uncatalyzed reaction, resulting in higher reaction rate at the same temperature.

However the term inhibitor is preferred since they do not work by introducing a reaction path with higher activation energy ; this would not reduce the rate since the reaction would continue to occur by the non-catalyzed path.

This situation arises for all homonuclear diatomic molecules and is particularly a problem for F < sub > 2 </ sub >, where the minimum energy of the curve with molecular orbital theory is still higher in energy than the energy of two F atoms.

For this to occur, energy is required, as in the semiconductor the next higher states lie above the band gap.

This analogy is extremely simplistic and incomplete: The rapid propagation of a sound wave does not impart any change in the air molecules ' drift velocity, whereas EM waves do carry the energy to propagate the actual current at a rate which is much, much higher than the electrons ' drift velocity.

* Temperature, which hastens reactions if raised, since higher temperature increases the energy of the molecules, creating more collisions per unit time,

Significantly, relative to the organic cell walls produced by other groups, silica frustules require less energy to synthesize ( approximately 8 %), potentially a major saving on the overall cell energy budget and possibly an explanation for higher growth rates in diatoms.

Indeed, the energy density of some material involved in the formation of impact craters is many times higher than that generated by high explosives.

The primary advantages of a pistol caliber carbine are increased accuracy due to the buttstock and longer barrel ( and with it, sight radius ), relatively low muzzle blast / flash / recoil, higher muzzle velocity and energy of a longer barrel for increased wounding potential and penetration ( depending on the particular load used ), and ( sometimes, but not always ) greater adaptability for easily accepting accessories such as optics, weaponlights, and lasers.

Some painters have less interest in the experience of the moment, with its attendant urgencies and ambiguities, than in looking beyond the flux of particular impressions to a higher, more serene level of truth.

I have more than once sat cross-legged in the grass through a long summer morning and watched without touching while a poppy bud higher than my head slowly but visibly pushed off its cap, unfolded, and shook out like a banner in the sun its flaming vermilion petals.

These minimum costs may come to $1 per month, more or less, for residential and small commercial customers, although they are substantially higher for large industrial users, who require more costly connections and metering devices.

Closed molding generally resulted in parts weighing more ( because of higher density ) than parts fabricated from free-blown foams.

The Compact also includes a $ 146 million project to increase the productivity of approximately 250, 000 farm households through improved water supply, higher yields, higher-value crops, and a more competitive agricultural sector.

Black sign language speakers are also more likely to sign higher on the body.

152-153 .</ ref > The moon and sun are likewise considered to be flat and floating on streams of air, and when the sun sets it does not pass under the earth but is merely obscured by higher parts of the earth as it circles around and becomes more distant ; the motion of the sun and the other celestial bodies around the earth is likened by Anaximenes to the way that a cap may be turned around the head .< ref > Fairbanks, Arthur.

The dimmer an object ( at a distance of 10 parsecs ) would appear, the higher ( more positive ) its absolute magnitude becomes.

The lower ( more negative ) an object's absolute magnitude, the higher its luminosity.

The SCC cost about $ 5 more than a UART, but offered much higher speeds up to 250 kbit / s ( or higher with additional hardware ) and internally supported a number of basic networking-like protocols like IBM's Bisync.

APCs are fundamentally different from the previously used armoured half-tracks in that they offer a higher level of protection from artillery burst fragments, and greater mobility in more terrain types.

They are also typically less massive than baryons, meaning that they are more easily produced in experiments, and thus exhibit certain higher energy phenomena more readily than baryons composed of the same quarks would.

Anti-materiel rifles can be used against human targets, but the much higher weight of rifle and ammunition, and the massive recoil and muzzle blast, usually make them less than practical for such use.
