Answer:

Dark yellow ,small volume pea.

Infrequent pea.

Dry mouth and tongue.

Sunken eyes.

Dehydration is a condition in which the rate at which the body looses t fluids is higher than the rate at which it takes fluids in.

It is caused by diarrhoea( watery stools )

2.Excessive sweating.

3 vomiting continusly.

4. No access to water intake

5.Polyuria(excessive urination)

6.Fever leading to hyperthermia.

The kidney is the main organ where the effect of dehydration is managed . As a result of increase in the solute potential of the blood,;the hypothalamus secrets ADH hormones which stimulates the Aquaporins(transmembrane proteins in the collecting duct and the distal convoluted tubules) to open .Therefore water moves in by osmosis to reduce the higher solute potential of the blood. Therfore low volume,high concentrated urine is produced.

This homeostatic function of the kidney ensures balanced in the electrolyte fluids of the body to manage dehydration,before medical intervention.

What will happen to the balls velocity as it falls further below the point of release?
RideAnS [48]

Answer: The ball's velocity will increase

When a ball falls below the point of releasing its velocity increases. The falling of the ball is controlled by the two forces, the drag force and acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity accelerates the ball in the downward direction at the constant rate. The drag force slows the ball when it falls below and it is a function of velocity so when the velocity of the ball increases so the drag force also increases.
