Read the passage about the pygmy shrew.

Physics
1 answer:
cestrela7 [59]3 years ago

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.

Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su
kykrilka [37]

Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.

How much more heat is transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere as latent heat rather than as sensible heat
kati45 [8]

The amount of heat transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere as latent heat than sensible heat will be 10 times as much.

Latent heat and sensible heat are defined as follows:

  • Latent heat: It is the heat that leaves/enters a system during a process where the temperature of the system stays constant.
    Examples are phase changes where the latent heat from the system leaves (exothermic) or enters a system (endothermic).

  • Sensible heat: It is the heat that enters or exits a system when the temperature of the system is not constant. The entire heat flows through the two systems and in order to do so it requires a temperature difference between the systems.

Thus, the amount of heat transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere as latent heat than sensible heat will be 10 times as much.
