What mechanisms help the body conserve heat?

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.

If each of the charges is increased by two times and the distance between them is also increased by two times, the electromagnet

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: The force does not change.

Explanation:

The force between two charges q₁ and q₂ is:

F = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

where:

k is a constant.

r is the distance between the charges.

Now, if we increase the charge of each particle two times, then the new charges will be: 2*q₁ and 2*q₂.

If we also increase the distance between the charges two times, the new distance will be 2*r

Then the new force between them is:

F = k*(2*q₁*2*q₂)/(2*r)^2 = k*(4*q₁*q₂)/(4*r^2) = (4/4)*k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2 = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

This is exactly the same as we had at the beginning, then we can conclude that if we increase each of the charges two times and the distance between the charges two times, the force between the charges does not change.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(a) $v = \sqrt{ mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))}$

(b) $\theta = \arccos(\frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL})$

Explanation:

(a) The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

$K_A + U_A = K_B + U_B\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgh \\h = L - L\cos(\theta) = L(1 - \cos\theta)\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 - mgL(1-\cos(\theta))\\v^2 = mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))\\v = \sqrt{ mv_0^2 - 2gL(1-\cos(\theta))}$

(b) The conservation of energy states

$K_A + U_A = K_M + U_M\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 + 0 = 0 + mgL(1-\cos(\theta))\\1-\cos(\theta) = \frac{v_0^2}{2gL}\\\cos(\theta) = 1-\frac{v_0^2}{2gL} = \frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL}\\\theta = \arccos(\frac{2gL-v_0^2}{2gL})$

(c) As explained in part (a) the total mechanical energy of the system is equal to the initial kinetic energy, since the potential energy of the system at that point is zero.

$E_{total}= K_A + U_A = K_A + 0\\E_{total} = \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$

Three short square wood blocks measuring 3.5 per side support a machine weighing 29500 lbs. What is the compressive stress in th

Ilya [14]

Answer:

D. 803 lbs

Explanation:

In order to find the compressive stress on all three blocks we first need to find the normal surface area of each:

Surface Area of 1 Block = 3.5 x 3.5

Surface Area of 1 Block = 12.25

Surface Area of all 3 Blocks = A = 3 x 12.25

Area = 36.75

Now, the stress is given by the following formula:

Stress = Force/Area

Stress = 29500 lbs/36.75

Stress = 802.72 lbs

Hence, the correct option will be:
