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

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 child sits 1.6 m from the center of a merry go round that makes one complete revolution in 4.7 s. What is his angular accelera

olga2289 [7]

Answer: angular acceleration = $2.86\ rad/sec^{2}$

Given:

Distance from center of axis = 1.6 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = 4.7 sec

Therefore, we can evaluate the angular acceleration using the following formula:

$\alpha = r\times \omega^{2}$

$\alpha = r\times (\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}$

$\alpha = 1.6\times (\frac{2\times3.14}{4.7})^{2}$

$\alpha$ = $2.86\ rad/sec^{2}$

Can someone help me?!!!!!

ladessa [460]

Answer:

magnitude: 21.6; direction: 33.7 degrees

Explanation:

When we multiply a vector by a scalar, we have to multiply each component of the vector by the scalar number. In this case, we have

vector: (-3,-2)

Scalar: -6

so the vector multiplied by the scalar will have components

$(-3\cdot (-6), -2 \cdot (-6))=(18,12)$

The magnitude is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

$m=\sqrt{18^2+12^2}=21.6$

and the direction is given by the arctan of the ratio between the y-component and the x-component:

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{12}{18})=33.7^{\circ}$

A rock is projected upward from the surface of the moon, at time t = 0.0 s, w a velocity of 30 m/s. The acceleration due to grav

Vinvika [58]

<h2>Answer: 277.777 m</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told that the rock was<u> projected upward from the surface</u>, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the movement equations in the Y axis are:

$y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (1)

$V=V_{o}-g.t$ (2)

Where:

$y$ is the rock's final position

$y_{o}=0$ is the rock's initial position

$V_{o}=30\frac{m}{s}$ is the rock's initial velocity

$V$ is the final velocity

$t$ is the time the parabolic movement lasts

$g=1.62\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon

As we know $y_{o}=0$ , equation (2) is rewritten as:

$y=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (3)

On the other hand, the maximum height is accomplished when $V=0$ :

$V=V_{o}-g.t=0$ (4)

$V_{o}-g.t=0$

$V_{o}=g.t$ (5)

Finding $t$ :

$t=\frac{V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

$y=V_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{g})+\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}}{g})^{2}$ (7)

$y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}$ (8) Now we can calculate the maximum height of the rock

$y_{max}=\frac{{(30m/s)}^{2}}{(2)(1.62m/s^{2})}$ (9)

Finally:

$y_{max}=277.777m$

A cylinder of mass 250 kg and radius 2.60 m is rotating at 4.00 rad/s on a frictionless.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The angular momentum of a cylinder, when it is rotating with constant angular velocity is Lini =Iωi

. When two cylinders are added to the rotating cylinder, which are identical in their dimensions, the moment of inertia of the entire system increases (since mass increases). The final moment of inertia will be 3I

Since friction exist, all the cylinders start rotating with same angular velocity, the new angular velocity can be calculated using conservation of angular momentum

Thus, Iωi =3Iωf ⟹ωf =ωi/3 = 0.33ωi
