What is the most likely reason for some antelope to employ selective brain cooling

Physics
1 answer:
Anika [276]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The brain is a part of the body that is particularly sensitive to high temperature. Hence some ungulates, like the Thomson's gazelle, use a counter-current heat exchanging structure known as the carotid rete to keep the brain cooler than the body.The cooled arterial blood then continues toward the brain.

A thin insulating rod is bent into a semicircular arc of radius a, and a total electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along
storchak [24]

Answer:

v = \frac{kQ}{a}  

Explanation:

We define the linear density of charge as:

\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}

     Where L is the rod's length, in this case the semicircle's length L = πr

The potential created at the center by an differential element of charge is:

dv = \frac{kdq}{r}

          where k is the coulomb's constant

                     r is the distance from dq to center of the circle

Thus.

v = \int_{}^{}\frac{kdq}{a}  

v = \frac{k}{a}\int_{}^{}dq

v = \frac{kQ}{a}     Potential at the center of the semicircle

Guys help...A spring that obeys Hooke's law, with a spring constant k1, is cut into N identical springs, each with a spring cons
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

K2 = N*K1

Explanation:

The force you apply to each section is the same you apply to the whole spring, but the extension of each section is dX/N (if dX is the extension of the entire spring)

A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: electric field

Explanation: when a charge is placed in space, it alters the space around it by creating an electric field.

This electric field has the ability to exert a force (f) on any test charge(q) placed within this vicinity.

This is the reason why a charge can either attract or repel another charge.

(I) A novice skier, starting from rest, slides down an icy frictionless 8.0° incline whose vertical height is 105 m. How fast is
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v = 45.37 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

angle of inclination = 8.0°

Vertical height, H  = 105 m

Initial K.E. = 0 J

Initial P.E. = m g H

Final PE = 0 J

Final KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Using Conservation of energy

KE_i + PE_i + KE_f + PE_f

0 + m g H = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0

v = \sqrt{2gH}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 105}

v = 45.37 m/s

Hence, speed of the skier at the bottom is equal to v = 45.37 m/s
