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.

A stream moving with a speed of 7.1 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one half of th

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s

let the cross section area at initial point be A₁

now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁

now, from the continuity equation, we have

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion

thus, on substituting the values, we get

A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂

v₂ = 14.2 m/s

How does tightening a string on a guitar affect its natural frequency?

iragen [17]

By tightening a string you are actually putting more stress on the string you are giving it a new frequency that isn't natural.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

moving the circuit or the magnet gives the same result

Explanation:

The faraday effect establishes that the temporal variation of imaginative flow produces an electric potential

fem = $\frac{d \phi }{dt}$ dfi / dt

the magnetic flux is

Ф = B. A = B A cos θ

suppose for simplicity that the angle is zero so cos 0 = 1

Φ = B A

By analyzing this expression, the change in magnetic flux can converge while keeping the magnetic field fixed and varying the electric field or keeping the electric field fixed and varying the magnetic field.

Consequently moving the circuit or the magnet gives the same result
