Why do smaller endotherms require more energy per unit of mass than larger endotherms?

1 answer:

4 0

They expend more oxygen. Littler endotherms lose warmth to the earth proportionately speedier than huge endotherms: less warm mass, protecting layers in littler creatures are less successful by dint of being more slender, and more prominent surface region to volume proportion implies snappier radiation of warmth

In the figure below the pulley is a solid disk of mass M and radius R with rotational inertia MR 2/2. Two blocks one of mass m a

matrenka [14]

Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:

1. $m_1a = T_1 -m_1g$
2. $m_2a = m_2g - T_2$
where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.

The torque on the pulley is given by:
3. $\tau = \overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow F = (T_2 - T_1)R = I\alpha = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 \frac{a}{R}$
where $I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2$ and $a = \alpha R$ .

Combining the three equations:
$T_2 - T_1 = \frac{1}{2} Ma \\ m_2g - m_2a -m_1g - m_1a = (m_2-m_1)g - (m_1 + m_2)a = \frac{1}2}Ma \\ \\ a = \frac{(m_2 - m_1)g}{m_1 + m_2 + \frac{1}{2}M }$

mina [271]

A) 50 cm

B) 10000 cm/s

Explanation

Step 1

If you know the distance between nodes and antinodes then use this equation:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\lambda}{2}=D \\ \text{where}\lambda\text{ is the wavelength} \\ D\text{ is the distance betw}een\text{ nodes} \end{gathered}$

then, let
