What You Will Learn â¢ The magnitude of the force of friction can vary. â¢ Kinetic friction is a force that, when unbalanced, can change the velocity of a moving object. â¢ Static friction balances an applied force and can prevent motion.
It belongs to the group of compounds. known as methylxanthines which include. theobromine (cocoa) and theophylline (tea). Because of its excellent solubility and slow rate. of degradation, caffeine can persist in aquatic. environments (Seiler et al., 2005) and has the. potential to biomagnify through the food chain. Thus, even a small amount of dissolved caffeine. in aquatic environment can concentrate over. time.
How does it work? Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system (CNS), heart, muscles, and the centers that control blood pressure. Caffeine can raise blood pressure, but might not have this effect in people who use it all the time. Caffeine can also act like a âwater pillâ that increases urine flow. But again, it may not have this effect in people who use caffeine regularly. Also, drinking caffeine during moderate exercise is not likely to cause dehydration.
