Larger animals use proportionately less energy than smaller animals; that is, it takes less energy per kg to power an elephant t

han to power a human. A 5000 kg African elephant requires about 70,000 Cal for basic needs for one day.
a. If a 68 human required the same energy per kg of body mass as an elephant, how much energy would be required each day?
b. What resting power does this correspond to?
C. How much less is this than the resting power noted in the chapter?

Answer:

Part a)

Q = 952 cal/day

Part b)

P = 46 Watt

Part c)

\Delta P = 54 W

Explanation:

As we know that 5000 kg African elephant requires 70,000 Cal for basic needs per day

so we will have

m = 5000 kg

Q = 70,000 Cal

so we have energy required per kg

E = \frac{70,000}{5000}

E = 14 cal/kg

Part a)

now we know that per kg the energy required will be same

so we have mass of the human is 68 kg

so energy required per day is given as

Q = 68 \times 14

Q = 952 cal/day

Part b)

Resting power is the rate of energy in Joule required per sec

so it is given as

P = \frac{952 \times 4186}{24\times 3600}

P = 46 Watt

Part c)

resting power given in the book is

P' = 100 W

so this is less than the power given

\Delta P = 100 - 46

\Delta P = 54 W

How is gravitational force of earth is responsible for rainfall and snowfall
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

If there wasn't gravity on the earth, everything would float in the atmosphere as in the moon.

Due to the gravity, the rain and snow are pulled down to the earth's surface. So, gravitational force causes rainfall and snowfall

Ethylene glycol, the primary ingredient in antifreeze, has the chemical formula C2H6O2. The radiator fluid used in most cars is
disa [49]

Answer:

-30 °C

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the molality (m) of the solution. If the solution is 50% C₂H₆O₂ by mass. It means that in 100 g of solution, the are 50 g of solute (C₂H₆O₂) and 50 g of solvent (water).

The molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ is 62.07 g/mol. The moles of solute are:

50 g × (1 mol / 62.07 g) = 0.81 mol

The mass of the solvent is 50 g = 0.050 kg.

The molality is:

m = 0.81 mol / 0.050 kg = 16 m

The freezing-point depression (ΔT) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔT = Kf × m = (1.86 °C/m) × 16 m = 30 °C

where,

Kf: freezing-point constant

The normal freezing point for water is 0°C. The freezing point of the radiator fluid is:

0°C - 30°C = -30 °C

A stationary block resting on the ground is pulled up with a tension force of 100N, but does not leave the ground.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The normal force the ground exerts on the block, F = -300 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The block pulled up with a tension force, T = 100 N

The weight of the block, W = 300 N

The weight of the block is due to the force of attraction of gravitation.

The surface exerts a force that is equal and opposite to the force acting on the block due to gravitation.

The weight of the block,

                                  W = mg

                                          300 N

The normal force the ground exerts on the block,

                                  F = - mg

                                    = - 300 N

Hence, the normal force the ground exerts on the block, F = -300 N

How do particles move differently in transverse waves and in surface water waves?
elixir [45]
The particles always move parallel and perpendicular to the waves. The waves which are in the water moves a circle. Both up and down and back and forth.

Good luck :)

Which of the following creates an adhesive force that prevents separation of the parietal and visceral pleurae during ventilatio
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Negative intrapleural pressure is the correct answer

Explanation:

Intrapleural pressure is more subatmospheric in the uppermost part of the thorax than in the lowermost parts in the standing horse.

Air moves from a region of higher pressure to one of lower pressure.  Therefore, for air to be moved into or out of the lungs, a pressure difference between the atmosphere and the alveoli must be established. If there is no pressure difference, no airflow will occur.

Under normal circumstances, inspiration is accomplished by causing alveolar pressure to fall below atmospheric pressure. When the mechanics of breathing are being discussed, atmospheric pressure is conventionally referred to as 0 cm H2O, so lowering alveolar pressure below atmospheric pressure is known as negative-pressure breathing.
