The whole body metabolic rate of a bottlenose dolphin is 8000kcalsday. The dolphin weighs 190kg. What is the mass specific metab

1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 42.1

Explanation:

Mass specific metabolic rate of a dolphin can be defined as the rate at which the dolphin consume energy per unit mass of body weight.

R = E/M

Where R = mass specific metabolic rate

E = Energy consumption = 8000kcalsday

M = mass = 190kg

R = 8000kcalsday/190kg

R = 42.1

You are standing in a building whose height (40m) you throw a ball downward at a angle of -30 at a speed of (10m/s) acceleration
jeyben [28]

Answer: 3.41 s

Explanation:

Assuming the question is to find the time t the ball is in air, we can use the following equation:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y=0m is the final height of the ball

y_{o}=40 m is the initial height of the ball

V_{o}=10 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball

t is the time the ball is in air

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity  

\theta=30\°

Then:

0 m=40 m+(10 m/s)(sin(30\°))t-\frac{1}{2}9.8 m/s^{2}t^{2}

0 m=40 m+5m/s t-4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1 and rearranging:

4.9 m/s^{2}t^{2}-5m/s t-40 m=0

At this point we have a quadratic equation of the form at^{2}+bt+c=0, which can be solved with the following formula:

t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

Where:

a=4.9

b=-5

c=-40

Substituting the known values:

t=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(4.9)(-40)}}{2(4.9)}

Solving the equation and choosing the positive result we have:

t=3.41 s  This is the time the ball is in air

A 60kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the
Fittoniya [83]

a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

a)

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight (W=mg): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force (F_A): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag (R): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

b)

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=3.1 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N

c)

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

F_{net}=F_a-R

where:

F_{net} is the net force

F_a is the applied force (forward)

R is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

F_{net}=186 N is the net force (found in part b)

R=60 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for F_a, we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N

Voltage drop is a better measurement of resistance than testing static resistance because ________.
gavmur [86]

Voltage drop is a better measurement of resistance than testing static resistance because: current flow creates heat  which adds to circuit resistance

The current flow or electric current   is the measure of the electrons flow around a circuit. It is measured in amperes or "amps". If the current is higher the electrons flow is greater.

<h3>What is electricity?</h3>

Electricity or electrical energy is the energy that occurs due to the movement of electrons in the materials that are considered conductors.

Electrolytes are considered ________ when placed in a solution and allow for adequate conduction of ________ charges.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Electrolytes are considered ions when placed in a solution and allow for adequate conduction of particle charges.

Explanation:

Electrolytes are substances that, when are dissolved in solution, separates into electrical positive charges (cations) and electrical negative charges (anions) which are known as ions.

These ions have an adequate capacity to conduct particle charges and, therefore electricity.

Sodium, calcium, phosphate and potassium, are examples of electrolytes.  

<u>Hence, the correct answer is:</u>

Electrolytes are considered ions when placed in a solution and allow for adequate conduction of particle charges.

I hope it helps you!
