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.

Do you think seismographs predict earthquakes or measure earthquakes, explain your answer?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 195 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest an
ddd [48]

Answer:

Al's mass is 102.92  kg  

Explanation:

As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:

F_{net} = 0

As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:

F_{net} = \frac{dp_{horizontal}}{dt} = 0

p_{horizontal_i }= p_{horizontal_f}

where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.

The initial momentum will be:

p_{horizontal_}i = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_i} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_i}

But, as they are at rest, initially

p_{horizontal_i} = m_{Al} * 0 + m_{Jo} * 0

p_{horizontal_i} = 0

So, this means:

p_{horizontal_f} = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_f} = 0

We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:

m_{total} = m_{Al} + m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg.

so:

m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg - m_{Al}.

m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + (195 \ kg - m_{Al}) \ v_{Jo_f} = 0

m_{Al} \  v_{Al_f} - m_{Al} \  v_{Jo_f}= - 195 \ kg \  v_{Jo_f}

m_{Al} \ (v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f})= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}

m_{Al} = \frac{ - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } {  v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f} }

m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg  \ v_{Jo_f} } {    v_{Jo_f} - v_{Al_f} }

Now, we can use the values:

v_{Al_f}= 10.2 \frac{m}{s}

v_{Jo_f}= - 11.4 \frac{m}{s}

where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions

m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg  ( - 11.4 \frac{m}{s} ) } {   (- 11.4 \frac{m}{s}) - 10.2 \frac{m}{s} }

m_{Al} = 102.92 \ kg

and this is the Al's mass.
