Your body temperature begins to rise during strenuous exercise in hot weather. Specialized nerve cells on the skin detect an inc

rease in temperature; your brain detects an increase in blood temperature. You begin to sweat and as the sweat evaporates, more latent heat of vaporization is removed from your body and you cool down. In this case, your skin and brain acts as ________________ in maintaining homeostasis.

Answer:

receptors

Explanation:

In this case, your skin and brain act as receptors in maintaining homeostasis. These receptors are monitors in different parts of an organism's body that are there to detect specific changes that occur and activate very specific responses in order to counteract these changes and maintain a very stable system. This is exactly, what your skin and brain are doing in this scenario, they detect the change in temperature and counteract its effects through sweat which ultimately causes the opposite effect and maintains equilibrium in your body.

A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2
MArishka [77]
From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
                = 2×9.81×0.43
                = 8.4366
            u = √8.4366
               =2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
 Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
              = 2.905/9.81
              = 0.296 seconds

You observe three carts moving to the left. Cart A moves to the left at nearly constant speed. Cart B moves to the left, gradual
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:cart B

Explanation:

For cart A speed is constant therefore there is no acceleration because acceleration is rate of change of velocity

thus there is no net force

For cart B there is change in velocity in the left direction , so there is net acceleration towards left

Force=mass\times acceleration

so there is net force in the left direction

For cart C there is decrease in velocity i.e. negative acceleration or deceleration . Therefore there is a net force towards right which opposes the motion

An object is released from rest and falls a distance h during the first second of time. How far will it fall during the next sec
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

E. 3h

Explanation:

We know that

u = 0 m/s.

velocity after t = 1s

v = u+gt = 0+9.81 x 1s= 9.81 m/s

distance covered in 1st sec

= =>> ut+0.5 x g x t²

=>>0 + 0.5x 9.81 x 1 = 4.90m

Let 4.90 be h

distance travelled in 2nd second will now be used

So velocity after t = 1s

=>>1 x t+ 0.5 x g x t²

=>9.81x 1 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 1 = 3 x 4.90

So since h= 4.90

Then the ans is 3x h = 3h

Which set of terms best defines what affects kinetic energy and potential energy, respectively?
aleksley [76]
<span>The correct answer is "velocity, height". Kinetic energy is affected by: mass and velocity, while potential energy by: mass, gravity and height (or "position"). Considering these combinations, only the third choice is the correct one: a) position, gravity describe only potential energy, B) gravity, position describe only potential energy, C) velocity, height describe respectively kinetic and potential energy, D) height, velocity would respectively describe potential energy first and then kinetic energy, it is in the wrong order, thus the correct answer is C.</span>
