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

Physics
1 answer:
Anika [276]2 years ago

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.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

A)  R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m , B)    L = 223.61 m , C)   R = 225.61 m

Explanation:

Part A

This is a vector summing exercise, let's take a Reference System where the z axis corresponds to the height (flights), the x axis is the East - West and the y axis corresponds to the North - South.

Let's write the displacements

Descending from the apartment

10 flights of 3 m each, the total descent is 30 m

                Z = 30 k ^ m

Offset at street level

            L1 = 0.2 i ^ km

            L2 = 0.1 j ^ km

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

          L1 = 0.2 * 1000 = 200 i ^ m

          L2 = 100 j ^ m

The distance traveled is

          R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m

Part B

The horizontal distance traveled can be found with the Pythagorean theorem for the coordinates in the plane

                L² = x² + y²

                L = √ (200² + 100²)

                L = 223.61 m

Part C

The magnitude of travel, let's use the Pythagorean theorem for the sum

             R² = x² + y² + z²

              R = √ (30² + 200² + 100²)

             R = 225.61 m

Any help is appreciated please
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

C. It speeds up, and the angle increases

Explanation:

We can answer by using the Snell's law:

n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r

where

n_i, n_r are the refractive index of the first and second medium

\theta_i is the angle of incidence (measured between the incident ray and the normal to the surface)

\theta_r is the angle of refraction (measured between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface)

In this problem, light moves into a medium that has lower index of refraction, so

n_r < n_i

We can rewrite Snell's law as

sin \theta_r =\frac{n_i}{n_r}sin \theta_i

and since

\frac{n_i}{n_r}>1

this means that

sin \theta_r > sin \theta_i

which implies

\theta_r > \theta_i

so, the angle increases.

Also, the speed of light in a medium is given by

v=\frac{c}{n}

where c is the speed of light and v the refractive index: we see that the speed is inversely proportional to n, therefore the lower the index of refraction, the higher the speed. So, in this problem, the light will speed up, since it moves into a medium with lower index of refraction.

When you see Marjorie, she is swinging a bucket of water around in a circle. The speed of the bucket of water does not change as
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Since the bucket of water  is constantly in motion it implies a force must be acting on it which allows it to change its Position constantly.

A constant gravity Force must be acting on water . In addition to gravity force a centripetal force must be acting on the water inside the bucket.

Bucket must move with certain velocity in order to avoid spilling of water.
