Explain why dogs pant during hot summer days using the concept of evaporation?

1 answer:

6 0

Because dogs have their bodies covered with fur, sweating is less effective. Dogs have sweat glads in places where there is little fur. However this is not enough in some hot days. To keep the body temperature in order dogs have to rely on panting. The interior of mouth and lungs is wet, so breathing quickly speeds up cooling. It acts similarly to wind blowing on sweaty person's skin.

You can try it on your own. When you breathe heavily you will feel coolness :)

In order to evaporate (change state from liquid to gas) heat energy has to be delivered to water. The heat energy is taken from the body of dog, thus cooling it.

You are throwing a stone straight-up in the absence of air friction. The stone is caught at the same height from which it was th

balu736 [363]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

When a stone is thrown straight-up, it has an initial velocity which decreases gradually as the stone move to maximum height due to constant acceleration due to gravity acting downward on the stone, at the maximum height the final velocity of the stone is zero. As the stone descends the velocity starts to increase and becomes maximum before it hits the ground.

Height of the motion is given by;

$H = \frac{u^2}{2g}$

g is acceleration due to gravity which is constant

H is height traveled

u is the speed of throw, which determines the value of height traveled.

Therefore, when the stone is caught at the same height from which it was thrown in the absence of air resistance, the speed of the stone when thrown will be equal to the speed when caught.

S Problem Set<br> 2.) 6.4 x 109 nm to cm

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$6.4\cdot 10^2 cm$

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert from nanometres to metres, keeping in mind that

$1 nm = 10^{-9} m$

So we have:

$6.4\cdot 10^9 nm \cdot 10^{-9} m/nm = 6.4 m$

Now we can convert from metres to centimetres, keeping in mind that

$1 m = 10^2 cm$

So, we find:

$6.4 m \cdot 10^2 cm/m = 6.4\cdot 10^2 cm$

How do observing and inferring differ?

Illusion [34]

Observing is commenting on what you see e.g: It is raining.
Inferring is drawing conclusions from observations for example you see the road is wet so you might infer that it rained last night.

An electron in the n = 7 level of the hydrogen atom relaxes to a lower energy level, emitting light of 397 nm. what is the value

Dimas [21]

Answer:

$n_f=2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initially, the electron is in n = 7 energy level. When it relaxes to a lower energy level, emitting light of 397 nm. We need to find the value of n for the level to which the electron relaxed. It can be calculate using the formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_f^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_i^2})$
