) It is necessary to maintain a constant fluid volume in the body. Therefore, the body adjusts the water outputs to be equal to

the inputs. So, if an animal consumes 1.0 kg of water in feed and 5.0 kg of drinking water, produces 0.5 kg of metabolic water in the body, and excretes a total of 4.5 kg of water in feces and urine, calculate the amount (kg) of evaporative water losses of this animal (show your work).

Answer:

Evaporative Water Loss = 2 kg

Explanation:

According to the given condition, the water entering the body must be equal to the water leaving the body. Therefore,

Water Entering the Body = Water Leaving the Body

Feed Water + Drinking Water + Metabolic Water = Urine Water + Evaporative Water Loss

using the given values:

1 kg + 5 kg + 0.5 kg = 4.5 kg + Evaporative Water Loss

Evaporative Water Loss = 1 kg + 5 kg + 0.5 kg - 4.5 kg

<u>Evaporative Water Loss = 2 kg</u>

A 55.6-kg skateboarder starts out with a speed of 2.44 m/s. He does 80.4 J of work on himself by pushing with his feet against t
Vikentia [17]

(a) -1620.8 J

The initial kinetic energy of the  skateboarder is:

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}(55.6 kg)(2.44 m/s)^2=165.5 J

where m is the skateboarder's mass and u his initial speed;

While the final kinetic energy is

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(55.6 kg)(7.24 m/s)^2=1457.2 J

where v is his final speed.

So the change in kinetic energy is

\Delta K=K_f - K_i = 1457.2 J -165.6 J = 1291.6 J

According to the work-energy theorem, the change in mechanical energy (kinetic+potential) of the skateboarder is equal to the work done on it:

\Delta K + \Delta E_p = W + W_f

where

W = 80.4 J is the work done by the skateboarder on himself

W_f = -244 J is the work done by friction

\Delta E_p = E_p_f - E_p_i is the change in gravitational potential energy

Solving for \Delta E_p,

\Delta E_p = W+W_f - \Delta K=80.4 J - 244 J - 1457.2 J = -1620.8 J

(b) 2.97 m

The change in potential energy of the skateboarder can be written as

\Delta E_p = mg \Delta h

where

m = 55.6 kg is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h is the change in vertical height of the skateboarder

Solving for \Delta h,

\Delta h = \frac{\Delta E_p}{mg}=\frac{-1620.8 J}{(55.6 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=-2.97 m

Where the negative sign means the skateboarder has moved downwards. Since we are interested only in the absolute value, the answer is

h = 2.97 m

Describe the difference between potential and kinetic energy
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy involves motion so something that is not moving has zero kinetic energy.

Potential energy does not involve motion and is based on position in a field like gravity and magnetic.

Can someone please tell me how to solve the question below. Thank you!! If 550-nm light is incident normally on a diffraction gr
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The ruling separation must be between 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m and 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

Fringe spacing w = λ·D/s

Diffraction grating, d·sin(θ) = n·λ

n = Number of lines

When θ = 90°, we have, sin(θ) = sin(90°) = 1

Therefore;

d·sin(θ) = d × 1 = d = n·λ

When n = 6 lines and d = 550-nm, we have;

d = 6 × 550-nm = 3,300 nm = 3.3 microns = 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m

Therefore, the ruling separation must be between 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m and 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m.
