Brut [27]4 years ago

One of the mechanisms that help the body to conserve its heat is the slowing down of the blood flow towards the parts of the body exposed to cold temperatures. Another is to shiver when it is cold to keep the warmth of the body through movement.

The mechanisms that are used to help the body conserve heat are vasoconstriction and shivering. Vasoconstriction occurs when the blood vessels constrict causing the blood pressure to rise. Shivering occurs when the body becomes cold and it helps to maintain homeostasis.

How is work defined in physics
Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Work is the dot product of the force and displacement vectors.

W = F · d

In other words, it is the force times the parallel component of the distance.

W = F d cos θ, where θ is the angle between the force and distance.

Which of these statements is true? controlled data produces valid experiments. controlled experiments produce valid data. valid
Brums [2.3K]

Each of the choices may be considered right depending on the use of context or on how terms are defined, but the one that is most correct is:

 

"Controlled experiments produce valid data"

 

Controlled experiments are experiments in which factors which are not the interest of the study or which are not being studied are controlled or accounted for in the design, so that resulting data are less likely to be caused by some anomaly or by some variable other than those being studied. In usual research scenarios it is not the data itself that is acted upon in the <span>experiment - it is the experiment itself, the factors and the physical processes that will eventually yield data.</span>

Jasper and Gemma are going to play on a teeter totter. Gemma gets on first. When Jasper gets on, Gemma moves into the air, but s
slavikrds [6]
The forces are unbalanced because Jasper weighs more than Gemma

The side that Gemma is on will only move upwards if the force exerted on the other side is greater than the force exerted by Gemma. In this case, force is referring to the weight of the children. Therefore, in order for Gemma to go upwards, Jasper must weigh more than her.
