Snakes and lizards are rarely found near polar environment explain why

1 answer:

4 0

Reptiles, such as snakes and lizards, are cold-blooded animals. This means that they do not have the ability to control their body heat. For this reason, they often lay out in the sun to warm up. If their enviornent is cold they obtain that body temperature. They are very slow in colder environments.In cold weather these animals have a very difficult time moving because their muscles are very cold. Without heat in their environment, they cannot warm them up.

Answer:

Speed = 575 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

Given :

Potential difference, U = $-3.45 \times 10^{-3} \ V$

Mass of the alpha particle, $m_{\alpha} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$

Charge of the alpha particle is, $q_{\alpha} = 3.20 \times 10^{-19} \ C$

So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

$U=\Delta Vq_{\alpha}$

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2$

From the law of conservation of energy, we get

$K.E. = U$

$\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 = \Delta V q_{\alpha}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta V q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.45 \times 10^{-3 })(3.2 \times 10^{-19})}{6.68 \times 10^{-27}}}$

$v_{\alpha} \approx 575 \ m/s$

The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :

-- electrostatic forces

-- magnetic forces

-- gravitational forces

Answer:

His launching angle was 14.72°

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a graphic representation of the problem.

In a parabolic movement, the velocity and displacement vectors are two-component vectors because the object moves along the horizontal and vertical axis.

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant, while the vertical component has a negative acceleration due to gravity. Then, the velocity can be written as follows:

v = (vx, vy)

where vx is the component of v in the horizontal and vy is the component of v in the vertical.

In terms of the launch angle, each component of the initial velocity can be written using the trigonometric rules of a right triangle (see attached figure):

sin angle = opposite / hypotenuse

cos angle = adjacent / hypotenuse

In our case, the side opposite the angle is the module of v0y and the side adjacent to the angle is the module of vx. The hypotenuse is the module of the initial velocity (v0). Then:

sin angle = v0y / v0 then: v0y = v0 * sin angle

In the same way for vx:

vx = v0 * cos angle

Using the equation for velocity in the x-axis we can find the equation for the horizontal position:

dx / dt = v0 * cos angle

dx = (v0 * cos angle) dt (integrating from initial position, x0, to position at time t and from t = 0 and t = t)

x - x0 = v0 t cos angle

x = x0 + v0 t cos angle

For the displacement in the y-axis, the velocity is not constant because the acceleration of the gravity:

dvy / dt = g ( separating variables and integrating from v0y and vy and from t = 0 and t)

vy -v0y = g t

vy = v0y + g t

vy = v0 * sin angle + g t

The position will be:

dy/dt = v0 * sin angle + g t

dy = v0 sin angle dt + g t dt (integrating from y = y0 and y and from t = 0 and t)

y = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

The displacement vector at a time "t" will be:

r = (x0 + v0 t cos angle, y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²)

If the launching and landing positions are at the same height, then the displacement vector, when the object lands, will be (see figure)

r = (x0 + v0 t cos angle, 0)

The module of this vector will be the the total displacement (65 m)

module of r = $\sqrt{(x0 + v0* t* cos angle)^{2} }$

65 m = x0 + v0 t cos angle ( x0 = 0)

65 m / v0 cos angle = t

Then, using the equation for the position in the y-axis:

y = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

0 = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

replacing t = 65 m / v0 cos angle and y0 = 0

0 = 65m (v0 sin angle / v0 cos angle) + 1/2 g (65m / v0 cos angle)²

cancelating v0:

0 = 65m (sin angle / cos angle) + 1/2 g * (65m)² / (v0² cos² angle)

-65m (sin angle / cos angle) = 1/2 g * (65m)² / (v0² cos² angle)

using g = -9.8 m/s²

-(sin angle / cos angle) * (cos² angle) = -318.5 m²/ s² / v0²

sin angle * cos angle = 318.5 m²/ s² / (36 m/s)²

(using trigonometric identity: sin x cos x = sin (2x) / 2

sin (2* angle) /2 = 0.25

sin (2* angle) = 0.49

2 * angle = 29.44

angle = 14.72°

Answer:

D. Sand carried by rivers flows over and weathers the rocks.

Explanation:

The sand in the river is move because of the flow of the river and as the sand moves it grinds on the rocks in the river. This starts a process know as abrasion, in other words it means that it wheathers(grinds) against the rocks.
