Answer:

Homeostasis is the body or cells ability to seek and maintain equilibrium or stability in response to external changes.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is a process through which a cell or entire body of an organism tends to attain it's original state by countering any external environmental change to which it is exposed. In simple words we can define homeostasis as a regulatory mechanism which helps a cell/organism to maintain constant internal environment.

For example during summer season when external environment gets extremely hot and temperature rises up to 45-48 °C in such condition our body's internal temperature which is normally 37 °C gets affected and tends to rise so as to attain equilibrium with the external environment. But if the internal temperature will rise more than optimum temperature i.e. 37 °C then our body's machinery will cease to work and it will die out if temperature will keep on rising. In such scenario to avoid temperature rise our body will use homeostasis mechanism to counter the change. In order to do so we have sweat glands. Our sweat glands will start secreting sweat as a result of which the external heat rather than raising our body's temperature will be used to evaporate water present in the sweat and we will be able to protect our body from harmful external environment.

Comets travel in orbits around the Sun. Some comets take less than 200 years to orbit the Sun. They are called short-period come
Anna [14]
Comets<span> are small, irregularly shaped bodies in the solar system composed mainly of ice and dust that typically measure a few kilometers across. They travel around the sun in very elliptical orbits that bring them very close to the Sun, and then send them out past Neptune. There are two categories of comet, based on the amount of time they take to orbit the Sun. Short-period comets take less than 200 years, and long-period comets take over 200 years, with some taking 100,000 to 1 million years to orbit the Sun. The short-period comets are found near the ecliptic, which means they are orbiting the Sun in same plane as the planets. The short-period comets are thought to originate in the Kuiper Belt, an area outside Neptune's orbit (from about 30 to 50 AU) that has many icy comet-like objects. The long-period comets tend to have orbits that are randomly oriented, and not necessarily anywhere near the ecliptic. They are thought to originate in the Oort cloud. The Oort cloud has never been observed, but is believed to have at least 10</span>12<span>icy objects located between 3000 AU and 100,000 AU in a spherical distribution around the Sun.</span>

how does a sprinter sprint what is the forward force on a sprinter as she accelerates. where does that force come from
NARA [144]

On the starting blocks, sprinters use their feet to push backward. The blocks respond by pressing forward with a force equal to this with their feet.

<h3>What drives the sprinter forward?</h3>

Vertical forces must be larger than the pull of gravity in order to assist the sprinter in moving forward as gravity is pushing him or her downward. The propulsive force is the force that propelled the runner forward.

<h3>Basketball players must jump straight up into the air, but how?</h3>

An interaction diagram and a free-body diagram should be included in your explanation. The player pushes down on the ground, which pushes up against him in return. As a result of his push being stronger than gravity, the player accelerates upward.

If there is a negative sign in front of the Hooke's Law equation, what does the force, F, represent?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Hooke's law, given by F=-kx is denoted with a negative sign to regard that the direction of restoring force that occurs opposite in direction of the force that caused the displacement x. F represents the force required to create a spring displacement of x.

Explanation:

As with many things in physics, the negative sign represents direction. In this case, after a spring is displaced a distance of x from equilibrium, the restoring force created by the spring will be in opposite direction of the force applied to move the spring there, represented by F.

How does the scientific process generally begin?
Murljashka [212]
There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis
