It's True that Hypothermia is an excessive decline in a body temperature.

<h3>What is Hypothermia?</h3>

Hypothermia is condition that occurs when the body’s temperature drops below 95° F (35° C).The normal body temperature is 98.6° F (37° C). Hypothermia is medical emergency.

When a person’s body temperature is dangerously low, the brain and the body cannot function properly. Left untreated, hypothermia can lead to the cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) and death.

<h3>What are the treatments of Hypothermia?</h3>

The first steps when treating hypothermia are:

Move to warm, dry location. Remove the wet clothing and replace with the dry clothing. Cover up with the jacket, hat, and blanket

When hypothermia is the more severe, doctors may also need to:

Insert IV into your vein and pump warm fluids into your body. Give you warm oxygen through a mask or a breathing tube. Use machine that warms your blood and pumps it back into your body

A 1800 kg car moves along a horizontal road at speed v₀ = 18.4 m/s. The road is wet, so the static friction coefficient between

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The shortest possible distance is $|s| = 91.9 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the car is $m = 1800 \ kg$

The speed along the horizontal road is $v_o =u = 18.4 \ m/s$

The static friction coefficient is $\mu_s = 0.188$

The kinetic friction coefficient is $\mu_k = 0.1316$

Generally the static frictional force acting on the car is mathematically represented as

$F_f = m * g * \mu_s$

Generally the force propelling the car is mathematically represented as

$F = m * a$

Here a is the maximum acceleration

at the point which the car stops ,

$F = F_f$

=> $m * g * \mu_s = ma$

=> $g * \mu_s =a$

=> $a = 9.8 * 0.188$

=> $a = 1.8424 \ m/s^2$

Generally from kinematic equation

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Here v is the final velocity of the car and the value is zero given that the car comes to rest

$0^2 = 18.4^2 + 2* 1.8424 s$

=> $s = - \frac{18.4^2}{2 * 1.8424}$

=> $|s| = 91.9 \ m$

Lucas plugs a lamp into the wall. The light bulb in the lamp turns on. What kind of energy transformation is this?

Jlenok [28]

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

When you plug a lamp into a wall, current which carries electrical energy will flow through the lamp. The lamp then converts this energy into light and heat energy.

Electromagnetic waves are ........... by shiny surfaces.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves are reflected

Explanation:

Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. ... This concept is often termed the Law of Reflection.
