It is estimated that the current rate of species extinction is between 1,000 and 100,000 times more rapid than the average rate during the last several billion years. The growth of human populations, consumption levels, and mobility is the root of most of the serious threats to biodiversity today.

A planet is discovered orbiting around a star in the galaxy Andromeda at four times the distance from the star as Earth is from
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Explanation:

The orbital period of a planet around a star can be expressed mathematically as;

T = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Where;

r = radius of orbit

G = gravitational constant

m = mass of the star

Given;

Let R represent radius of earth orbit and r the radius of planet orbit,

Let M represent the mass of sun and m the mass of the star.

r = 4R

m = 16M

For earth;

Te = 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

For planet;

Tp = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Substituting the given values;

Tp = 2π√((4R)^3)/(16GM) = 2π√(64R^3)/(16GM)

Tp = 2π√(4R^3)/(GM)

Tp = 2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

So,

Tp/Te = (2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM))/( 2π√(R^3)/(GM))

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

A 5000 kg African elephant has a resting metabolic rate of 2500 W. On a hot day, the elephant's environment is likely to be near
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

36 kg

Explanation:

To answer this question, a few assumptions have to be made:

  • That the temperature on the day is 35 °C
  • That all the heat from the elephant is goes to warming/evaporating the water on the surface of the elephant

Energy released per hour = 2500 J/s * 3600 s = 9 000 000 J

Q = mcΔT

9 000 000 J= m *4.186 J/g-K * (373K - 308K) + m*2260 J/g

m =  36 000 g = 36 kg
