The correct answer is: reduce the loss of body heat to the environment. A <span>countercurrent heat exchanger works by transferring heat from one part of the body to another that has cooled down. For example, in dolphins, body parts of a high surface area such as flippers are rich in veins. Blood running through these veins that is cooled down is run close to arteries containing warmed-up blood, and some of the heat energy from the arteries is transferred to the veins, thereby allowing the dolphin to conserve heat energy. </span>
D. The input of solar energy can be added
Answer:
- Jason asked his fellow group members about their hobbies and interests
.
- Jason and another member disagree on what their respective roles should be in the group.
- Jason resolved his differences with the other group members
.
- Jason began working with the group members as a complete unit
.
Explanation:
The correct order of Jason's actions in the stages of the development of his group would be as mentioned above. After the first step of the formation of the group, the next step is 'storming' in which the ideas are generated. Thus, Jason asks the group members regarding their interests and hobbies as it assists in the generation of effective ideas for problem-solving. The next step would be 'norming' in which the conflicts would arise due to disagreement regarding the respective roles of group members. Then, Jason as a team member would resolve the differences among the team members to reach a common solution. After everyone agrees upon the same idea, Jason can pursue working with the group as a complete unit. These stages are crucial for the effective development of the group and achieve desired results through cooperation and teamwork.
Gravity
Neutron stars are the most extreme and fascinating objects known to exist in our universe: Such a star has a mass that is up to twice that of the sun but a radius of only a dozen kilometers: hence it has an enormous density, thousands of billions of times that of the densest element on Earth. An important property of neutron stars, distinguishing them from normal stars, is that their mass cannot grow without bound. Indeed, if a nonrotating star increases its mass, also its density will increase. Normally this will lead to a new equilibrium and the star can live stably in this state for thousands of years. This process, however, cannot repeat indefinitely and the accreting star will reach a mass above which no physical pressure will prevent it from collapsing to a black hole. The critical mass when this happens is called the "maximum mass" and represents an upper limit to the mass that a nonrotating neutron star can be.
However, once the maximum mass is reached, the star also has an alternative to the collapse: it can rotate. A rotating star, in fact, can support a mass larger than if it was nonrotating, simply because the additional centrifugal force can help balance the gravitational force. Also in this case, however, the star cannot be arbitrarily massive because an increase in mass must be accompanied by an increase in the rotation and there is a limit to how fast a star can rotate before breaking apart. Hence, for any neutron star, there is an absolute maximum mass and is given by the largest mass of the fastest-spinning model.
