Alligators and other reptiles don't use enough metabolic energy to keep their body temperatures constant. They cool off at night

and must warm up in the sun in the morning. Suppose a 300 kg kg alligator with an early-morning body temperature of 25 ∘ C ∘C is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 W How long will the alligator need to warm up to a more favorable 30 C?

Answer:

Explanation:

Amount of heat required can be found from the following relation

Q = mcΔT

m is mass of the body , c is specific heat and ΔTis rise in temperature .

Here m = 300 kg

c = 3350 J /kg k

ΔT = 30 - 25

= 5 °C

Putting the values in the expression above

Q = 300 x 3350 x 5

= 5025000 J

Rate at which energy is absorbed = 1200 J /s

Time required

= 5025000 / 1200

= 4187.5 S

= 69.8 minute

= 1 hour 9.8 mimutes.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Option 5. 1 and 3

Solution:

The only forces acting on the tennis ball after it has left contact with the racquet and the instant before it touches the ground are the force of gravity in the downward direction and the force by the air exerted on the ball.

The ball after it left follows the path of trajectory and as it moves forward in the horizontal direction the force of the air acts on it.

In the whole projectile motion of the ball, the acceleration due to gravity acts on the ball thus the force of gravity acts on the ball in the downward direction  before it hits the ground.

When droplets of water in the atmosphere act like prisms, the colors in sunlight undergo?
dexar [7]
White light is all the colours of light combined. When the droplets act like prisms, they split the white light into all its colours and also slightly bend the different colours. This is how a rainbow is formed.
