What type of wave do the contractions of the snake muscles make as the snake moves forward

Chemistry
1 answer:
S_A_V [24]4 years ago
3 0
Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion: 

Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward. 

Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion. 

Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand. 

Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

746mmHg, 115m^3, 21*C number of moles?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

n = 4678.13 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Temperature = 21°C

Pressure = 746 mmHg

Volume = 115 m³

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

21+273 = 294 k

746 /760 = 0.982 atm

115×1000 = 115000 L

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n =   0.982 atm × 115000 L /0.0821 atm. L. K⁻¹. mol ⁻¹× 294 k

n = 112930 atm. L/24.14 atm. L. mol ⁻¹

n = 4678.13 mol

A 2.50 L balloon is filled with water at 2.27 atm. If the balloon is squeezed into a 0.80 L beaker and does NOT burst, what is t
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

P_2=7.09atm

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given the change in volume and pressure of the gas, it is possible for us to recall the Boyle's law as way to understand the inversely proportional relationship between pressure and volume:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Thus, when solving for the final pressure, P2, given the initial pressure and volume and the final volume, we obtain:

P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\frac{2.27atm*2.50L}{0.80L}\\\\P_2=7.09atm

Best regards!

Have you heard of the term barometric pressure? What does it mean?
IRINA_888 [86]
<span>Barometric pressure is just the same as atmospheric pressure. It is called barometric pressure because the instrument used to measure is called barometer. It is the pressure exerted by the air at a certain altitude. Since it is the pressure exerted by the air, it is also known as the weight of the air above the Earth. Depending on the altitude at which the measurement is done, barometric or atmospheric pressure varies, but the barometric pressure at sea level is 1 atm (atmosphere). It is equivalent to 101325 Pa (Pascal), 760 torr, 760 mm Hg and 1.01325 bar.</span>
