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.

A skier descends a mountain at an angle of 35.0º to the horizontal. If the mountain is 235 m long, what are the horizontal and v
Masja [62]

Total displacement along the length of mountain is given as

L = 235 m

angle of mountain with horizontal = 35 degree

now we will have horizontal displacement as

x = L cos35

x = 235 cos35 = 192.5 m

similarly for vertical displacement we can say

y = L sin35

y = 235 sin35 = 134.8 m

Does melting change substances into other substances?
spayn [35]

Answer:

Yes, I think

Explanation:

Melting is a process that causes a substance to change from a solid to a liquid. Melting occurs when the molecules of a solid speed up enough that the motion overcomes the attractions so that the molecules can move past each other as a liquid.

frequency = wavespeed ÷ wavelength

14.
if frequency increases you would experience a higher pitch in sound

15.
humans can hear 20Hz to 20kHz

16.
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave for an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. Can be used for machines measuring speed via doppler effect.

17.
Doppler in hospitals can be used for ultrasound to provide images for diagnosis and monitoring.

Si el coeficiente de fricción cinética entre los neumáticos y el pavimento seco es de 0.80. ¿Cuál es la distancia mínima para de
vovangra [49]

Answer: 52.9 metros.

Explanation:

Podemos escribir la fuerza de fricción cinética como

F = μ*N

donde N es la fuerza normal entre el coche y el suelo, cuya magnitud es igual al peso en esta situación.

F = μ*m*g

donde m es la masa del coche y g es 9.8m/s^2

y sabemos que μ = 0.8

Por la segunda ley de Newton, sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza es igual a masa por aceleración.

a = F/m

entonces la aceleración causada por la fuerza de rozamiento es:

F = 0.8*m*g

a = F/m = (0.8*m*g)/m = 0.8*g.

Entonces ya encontramos la aceleración, hay que recordar que esta aceleración es en sentido opuesto a la sentido de movimiento, entonces podemos escribir la aceleración como:

a(t) = -0.8*g

Para la velocidad, podemos integrar sobre el tiempo para obtener.

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial del auto = 28.7m/s

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + 28.8m/s

Ahora podemos encontrar el tiempo necesario para que la velocidad del coche sea cero, en ese momento, como deja de moverse, ya no tendremos rozamiento cinético, entonces no habrá aceleración y el coche se detendrá completamente.

v(t) = 0m/s = -0.8*9.8m/s^2*t + 28.8m/s

7.84m/s^2*t = 28.8m/s

                 t   = (28.8m/s)/(7.84m/s^2) = 3.63 segundos.

Ahora vamos a la ecuación de movimiento, donde asumimos que la posición inicial del coche es 0m, así que no tendremos constante de integración.

p(t) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 28.8m/s*t

Ahora podemos evaluar la posición en t = 3.63 segundos, y esto nos dara la distancia que el coche se movio mientras frenaba.

p(3.63s) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*(3.63s)^2 + 28.8m/s*(3.63s) = 52.9 metros.
