The amount of energy the body uses when at rest is referred to as _____.

Physics
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago

The answer is Basal Metabolic Rate. It is the total amount of energy expressed in calories that an individual needs to keep the body working at rest. Some of those progressions are blood circulation, breathing, cell growth, controlling body temperature, nerve and brain function, and tightening of muscles.

The constant is the temperature of the air that the plants get.

The independent variable is the thing that YOU control.  That's the amount of sunlight each plant gets.

The <em>dependent variable</em> is anything that's caused by changes in the independent variable.  That's the growth of the plants.

In a second experiment, you decide to connect a string which has length L from a pivot to the side of block A (which has width d
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

A)

i) The blocks will come to rest when all their initial kinetic energy is dissipated by the friction force acting on them. Since block A has higher initial kinetic energy, on account of having larger mass, therefore one can argue that block A will go farther befoe coming to rest.

ii) The force on friction acting on the blocks is proportional to their mass, since mass of block B is less than block A, the force of friction acting on block B is also less. Hence, one might argue that block B will go farther along the table before coming to rest.

B) The equation of motion for block A is

m_{A}\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -m_{A}g\nu_{s}\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -\nu_{s}g \quad (1)

Here, \nu_{s} is the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface of the table. Equation (1) can be easily integrated to get

v(t) = C-\nu_{s}gt \quad (2)

Here, C is the constant of integration, which can be determined by using the initial condition

v(t=0) = v_{0}\Rightarrow C = v_{0} \quad (3)

Hence

v(t) = v_{0} - \nu_{s}gt \quad (4)

Block A will stop when its velocity will become zero,i.e

0 = v_{0}-\nu_{s}gT\Rightarrow T = \frac{v_{0}}{\nu_{s}g} \quad (5)

Going back to equation (4), we can write it as

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} = v_{0}-\nu_{s}gt\Rightarrow x(t) = v_{0}t-\nu_{s}g\frac{t^{2}}{2}+D \quad (6)

Here, x(t) is the distance travelled by the block and D is again a constant of integration which can be determined by imposing the initial condition

x(t=0) = 0\Rightarrow D = 0 \quad (7)

The distance travelled by block A before stopping is

x(t=T) = v_{0}T-\nu_{s}g\frac{T^{2}}{2} = v_{0}\frac{v_{0}}{\nu_{s}g}-\nu_{s}g\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2\nu_{s}^{2}g^{2}} = \frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2\nu_{s}g} \quad (8)

C) We can see that the expression for the distance travelled for block A is independent of its mass, therefore if we do the calculation for block B we will get the same result. Hence the reasoning for Student A and Student B are both correct, the effect of having larger initial energy due to larger mass is cancelled out by the effect of larger frictional force due to larger mass.

D)

i) The block A is moving in a circle of radius L+\frac{d}{2} , centered at the pivot, this is the distance of pivot from the center of mass of the block (assuming the block has uniform mass density). Because of circular motion there must be a centripetal force acting on the block in the radial direction, that must be provided by the tension in the string. Hence

T = \frac{m_{A}v^{2}}{L+\frac{d}{2}} \quad (9)

The speed of the block decreases with time due to friction, hence the speed of the block is maximum at the beginning of the motion, therfore the maximum tension is

T_{max} = \frac{m_{A}v_{0}^{2}}{L+\frac{d}{2}} \quad (10)

ii) The forces acting on the block are

a) Tension: Acting in the radially inwards direction, hence it is always perpendicular to the velocity of the block, therefore it does not change the speed of the block.

b) Friction: Acting tangentially, in the direction opposite to the velocity of the block at any given time, therefore it decreases the speed of the block.

The speed decreases linearly with time in the same manner as derived in part (C), using the expression for tension in part (D)(i) we can see that the tension in the string also decreases with time (in a quadratic manner to be specific).

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

Explanation:

Inertia describes the resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object only. In particular:

- if an object has a large inertia (large mass), then it is more difficult to change its state of motion (i.e. to put it in motion, or to slow it down, or to change its direction of motion)

- if an object has small inertia (small mass), then it is more easy to change its state of motion

In this problem, Li has less mass than Raj, so he has less inertia, therefore he can change his motion more easily than Raj.
