8 0

Answer:

Because heat is lost from the surface of the body, small mammals lose a greater proportion of their body heat than large mammals. Mammals conserve body heat with their hair or fur. It traps a layer of warm air next to the skin. ... Mammals also have a layer of fat under the skin to help insulate the body.

How much force would is required to stop a 1200kg car in 2 seconds if the car is traveling at 22 m/s
Shalnov [3]
Force required = F = ?

mass of the car = m = 1200 kg

initial velocity of the car = Vi = 10 m/sec

final velocity of the car = 0

time required to stop the car = t = 20 sec

Using Newton`s 2nd law of motion;

F = ma ………………………(1)

as a = Vf - Vi / t , put this value in equation (1)

F = m ( Vf - Vi /t ) ………………(2)

F = 1200 ( 0 - 10 /20) = - 600 N

here Negative sign shows that external force is acting in opposite direction of the motion to bring it to rest.

we can also calculate this force by using the relation

Rate of change of momentum = net force acting on the object …………(3)

m Vf - m Vi / t = net force acting on the object

m (Vf - Vi / t) = F

1200 ( 0 - 10 /20) = - 600 N = F

so, net force acting on the object =F = - 600 N

Characteristics of the plasma membrane include which of the following? Select all that apply. cellulose phospholipids and protei
BigorU [14]

Answer;

-Phospholipids and protein

Explanation;

-The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer arranged back-to-back. It is also covered in places with cholesterol molecules and proteins. The plasma membrane is selectively permeable and regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

- The membrane is an extremely thin layer of lipids and protein that forms outer boundary of every cell, It controls movement of molecules between the cell and its environment, Participates in joining cells to form tissues and organs and also plays important role in the ability of a cell to respond to changes in the cell's environment.
