Answer:

B. Your hands get really cold after touching cold water.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is a process in the human body that helps to maintain a stable environment internally. The word homeostasis is derived from the combination of two Greek words home meaning 'similar,' and stasis, which means 'stable.'

This process regulates body temperature, chemical levels in the body, and ratios of water and minerals.

An example of homeostatic, from the given options, would be, your hands getting cold after touching cold water. It is because there is a change in body temperature, internally due to an external change in temperature.

Therefore, option B is correct.

What indicates that wave B has higher energy than wave A? A) the period of the waves B) the amplitude of the waves C) the freque

NISA [10]

Wave is a disorder that travels through the medium periodically, carrying energy, but not matter. Five parameters determine waves: period, frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and speed. The amount of energy the wave carries is determined by the amplitude. The high amplitude wave possesses a high level of energy, a wave with a small amplitude carries a small amount of energy. In addition, the amplitude does not affect the speed of the waves; both Waves A and B travel at the same speed. The velocity of the wave changes with the characteristics of the media through which they pass.

Right answer is B) the amplitude of the waves.
