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.

The air pressure inside a car tire is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

0.137m²

Explanation:

Pressure = Force/Area

Given

Force = 41,500N

Pressure = 3.00atm

since 1atm = 101325.00 N/m²

3atm = 3(101325.00)

3atm = 303,975N/m²

Pressure = 303,975N/m²

Get the area

Area = Force/Pressure

Area = 41500/303,975

Area = 0.137m²'

Hence the surface area of the  inside of the tire is 0.137m²

A bucket of water of mass 14.7 is suspended by a rope wrapped around a windlass, that is a solid cylinder with diameter 0.280m w
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Tension T in the rope will create torque in solid cylinder ( axle ). If α be angular acceleration

T R = 1/2 M R²α ( M is mass and R is radius of cylinder )

= 1/2 M R² x a / R ( a is linear acceleration )

T = Ma / 2

For downward motion of the bucket

mg - T = m a ( m is mass and a is linear acceleration of bucket downwards )

mg - Ma / 2  = ma

a = mg / ( M /2 + m )

Substituting the values

a = 14.7 x 9.8 / ( 5.8+ 14.7 )

= 7 m / s²

A )

T = Ma / 2

= 5.8 x 7

= 40.6 N

B ) v² = u² + 2 a h

= 2 x 7 x 10.3

v = 12 m /s

C )

v = u + a t

12 = 0 + 7 t

t = 1.7 s

Calculate the air pressure in the pressurized tank, if h1 = 0. 18 m, h2 = 0. 2m and h3 = 0. 25m. The density of the mercury, wat
fomenos

The air pressure in the pressurized tank will be 24014.88 N/m²,196.2 N/m²,2084.625  N/m².

<h3 /><h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an item per unit area across which that force is spread is known as pressure.

It is denoted by P. The pressure relative to the ambient pressure is known as gauge pressure.

Pressure is found as the product of the density,acceleraton due to gravity and the height.

P₁=ρ₁gh₁

P₁=13,600 kg/m³×9.81 (m/s²)×0.18 m

P₁=24014.88 N/m²

P₂=ρ₂gh₂

P₂= 1000 kg/m³×9.81 (m/s²)×00.2 m

P₂=196.2 N/m²

P₃=ρ₃gh₃

P₃=850 kg/m³×9.81 (m/s²)×0.25

P₃=2084.625  N/m²

Hence,the air pressure in the pressurized tank will be 24014.88 N/m²,196.2 N/m²,2084.625  N/m².
