Read the passage about the pygmy shrew.

Physics
1 answer:
cestrela7 [59]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<em>A very high metabolism and a very small size.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The pygmy shrew is a very small mammal, that forages day and night. The metabolism of the Pygmy shrew is so high that it must eat at least every 30 minutes or it might die. The best explanation for what happens to the food's mass and energy is that most of the food mass is rapidly used fro building up of the shrew due to its very high metabolism, and a bigger portion of the food is lost from the surface of the body of the shrew, due to its very small size. The combination of these two factors; a very high metabolism (rapidly uses up food material, and generates a large amount of heat in a very short time) and the very small size (makes heat loss due to surface area to volume ratio high) explains what happens to the food mass and energy.

You pull with a force of 77 N on a piece of luggage of mass 23 kg, but it does
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The force of static friction acting on the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the luggage, m = 23 kg

You pulled the luggage with a force of, F = 77 N

The coefficient of static friction of luggage and floor, μₓ = 0.8

The formula for static frictional force is,

                                      Fₓ = μₓ · η

Where,

                                  η - normal force acting on the luggage 'mg'

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                                   Fₓ = 0.8 x 23 x 9.8

                                        = 180.32 N

Hence, the minimum force require to pull the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N

The experimentation step of scientific inquiry involves _______.
Hoochie [10]
<span>The answer is letter D.

The most important step in formulation a scientific inquiry is to first formulate a question. All answers sprung from a question that scratched the mind. Experimentation is not possible without the need to question, with this, the drive to find the answers is what motivates scientists or people involved in an experiment to find the answers that would suffice their curiosity. Questions are the basis of all the other choices above and is the most crucial step in the scientific inquiry.<span>

What type of plate boundary decreases the amount of the Earth's crust?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Convergent.

Explanation:

Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones. Subduction is the important geologic process in which a tectonic plate made of dense lithospheric material melts or falls below a plate made of less-dense lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary.
