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.

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION

The cube of wood having an edge dimension of 19.7cm and a density of 647kg/m3 floats on water

(a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level answer in cm

(b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface answer in kg

Answer:

a)6.29cm

b)2.78 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Let us calculate the volume first, we were given dimension as 19.7cm=0.197m

Volume is (0.197 meters)³ = 0.00764m³

Then we can calculate the mass as;

Given mass is 647 kg/m³ x 0.00774m³ = 4.947kg

The weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

weight = 4.947 x 9.8 N/kg = 48.44N

By Floating we can say the the buoyancy force has to equal the weight (48.44 N) which has

which is equal to the weight of volume of the displaced water. Or the mass, the calculation is the same.

We know that density of fresh water at 20ºC is 998 kg/m³

Then we can calculate the volume of displaced water as

4.947 kg / 998 kg/m³ = 0.00496 m³

We know that the displaced water has a shape of a rectangular solid with 0.197 meters on the two horizontal dimensions, and h as the height to the surface then

V = 0.197²h = 0.00496

0.00496= 0.197²h

h = 0.1278 meters or 12.78 cm

Then the the distance exposed, would be 19.7–12.78 = 6.29 cm

b) ifthe cube is fully submerged, the volume of the displaced water is 0.00774m³

mass of displaced water is 0.00774m³ x 998 kg/m³ = 7.724 kg

Added mass is the mass of the displaced water – mass of block

= 7.724–4.947 = 2.78 kg

A certain spring has a spring constant k1 = 660 N/m as the spring is stretched from x = 0 to x1 = 35 cm. The spring constant the

pantera1 [17]

(a) The equation for the work done in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is ¹/₂K₂Δx².

(b) The work done, in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is 11.25 J.

<h3>Work done in the spring</h3>

The work done in stretching the spring is calculated as follows;

W = ¹/₂kx²

W(1 to 2) = ¹/₂K₂Δx²

W(1 to 2) = ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)²

W(1 to 2) = 11.25 J

W(0 to 3) = ¹/₂k₁x₁² + ¹/₂k₂x₂² + ¹/₂F₃x₃

W(0 to 3) = ¹/₂(660)(0.35)² + ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)² + ¹/₂(105)(0.89 - 0.65)

W(0 to 3) = 64.28 J

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 9.6 V/m and points eastwar

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The values is $B = 3.2 *10^{-8} \ T$

The direction is out of the plane

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the electric field is $E = 9.6 \ V/m$

The magnitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{E}{c}$

where c is the speed of light with value

$B = \frac{ 9.6}{3.0 *10^{8}}$

$B = 3.2 *10^{-8} \ T$

Given that the direction off the electromagnetic wave( c ) is northward(y-plane ) and the electric field(E) is eastward(x-plane ) then the magnetic field will be acting in the out of the page (z-plane )

During its swing, a pendulum on a clock has the kinetic energy of 6J and the potential energy of 5J. What formula will you use t

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which is the energy exerted by a moving object. An active pendulum has the most kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing when the weight is moving fastest.
