Answer:

The temperature in deciduous forest can range from -30° C to 30°C with 10°C being an average temperature.

Wood frog has adapted to survive in freezing temperatures during winters. It does so by practicing thawing and freezing in a cyclic or systematic manner.

It helps the frog to accumulate glucose and urea in the body. These substances then act as cryoprotectant that is, they prevent the freezing of the cells or tissues (by lowering the freezing point) of the organism and thus prevent the loss of water from the cells.

On arrival of spring, the warm temperature thaws the frog after which the leftover glucose is converted back to glycogen and urea is excreted out of the body.

Wood frogs have this adaptation where they accumulate urea in their bodies and convert their liver glycogen to glucose to act as cryoprotectants. This prevents the formation of ice crystals in their bodies that could cause damage cells during freezing in winter.

Andrews [41]

The work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the applied force is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

F - Ff = ma

where;

F is applied force
Ff is frictional force

Fcos(37) - μmgsin(37) = ma

Fcos(37) - (0.3)(4)(9.8)sin(37) = 4(0.2)

0.799F - 7.077 = 0.8

F = 9.86 N

W = Fdcosθ

W = 9.86 x 2 x cos(37)

W = 15.75 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

A real power supply can be modeled as an ideal EMF of 60 Volts in series with an internal resistance. The voltage across the ter

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

5 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

EMF of the ideal battery (E) = 60 V

Voltage across the terminals of the battery (V) = 40 V

Current across the terminals (I) = 4 A

Let the internal resistance be 'r'.

Now, we know that, the voltage drop in the battery is given as:

$V_d=Ir$

Therefore, the voltage across the terminals of the battery is given as:

$V= E-V_d\\\\V=E-Ir$

Now, rewriting in terms of 'r', we get:

$Ir=E-V\\\\r=\frac{E-V}{I}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'r'. This gives,

$r=\frac{60-40}{4}\\\\r=\frac{20}{4}\\\\r=5\ ohms$

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 5 ohms.

A car’s 30.0-kg front tire is suspended by a spring with spring constant k=1.00x10^5 N/m. At what speed is the car moving if was

Taya2010 [7]

we know the equation for the period of oscillation in SHM is as follows:

T = 2 * pi * sqrt(mass/k)

we know f = 1/T, so f = 1/(2 * pi) * sqrt(k/m).

since d = v*T, we can say v = d/t = d * f

the final equation, after combining everything, is as follows:

v = d/(2 * pi) * sqrt(k/m)

by plugging everything in

v = .75/(2 * pi) * sqrt((1 * 10^5)/(30))

We find our velocity to be:

v = 6.89 m/s
