The whole body metabolic rate of a bottlenose dolphin is 8000kcalsday. The dolphin weighs 190kg. What is the mass specific metab

Komok [63]

Answer: 42.1

Explanation:

Mass specific metabolic rate of a dolphin can be defined as the rate at which the dolphin consume energy per unit mass of body weight.

R = E/M

Where R = mass specific metabolic rate

E = Energy consumption = 8000kcalsday

M = mass = 190kg

R = 8000kcalsday/190kg

R = 42.1

Veronika [31]

Answer:

M g H = 1/2 M v^2 potential energy = kinetic energy

v^2 = 2 g H = 2 * 9.80 * 6 = 117.6 m/s^2

v = 10.8 m/s

Sarah weighs 500 newtons. She climbs a set of stairs 6 meters high. How much work does she do? 83 J Work equals force times dist

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J

Explanation:

Work Done By A Force

When some force $\vec F$ is applied and a displacement $\vec r$ is achieved, the work done by the force is given by

$W=\vec F \cdot \vec r$

Note that the work is a scalar magnitude as the result of the dot-product of two vectors. If the force and the displacement are parallel, then the vectors can be replaced as its magnitudes F,x and the work is

$W=F.x$

The dot product becomes a simple arithmetic product, i.e force times distance.

Sara weighs 500 Nw and she climbs up a 6 meter set of stairs. She needs to lift her weight up, so the force is the weight and the distance is the height of the stairs, thus

$W=500\ Nw.\ 6\ m=3,000\ Joule$

Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

V= 1,160 m

Explanation:

formula:

V= V* T

remplazamos:

V= 116m /s * 10s

V= 1,160 m
