Answer:

Explanation:

The quantity of oxygen in the atmosphere influences the development trajectory, cardiovascular allometry, and metabolic rate of the American alligator. The growth of hypoxic alligators is hampered by a lack of oxygen in the atmosphere, which may impair their food use capabilities.

Recent palaeoatmospheric models suggest large-scale fluctuations in ambient oxygen level over the past 550 million years. To better understand how global hypoxia and hyperoxia might have affected the growth and physiology of contemporary vertebrates, we incubated eggs and raised hatchlings of the American alligator. Crocodilians are one of few vertebrate taxa that survived these global changes with distinctly conservative morphology.

Two objects attract each other gravitationally with a force of 2.5 x 10^-10N when they are 0.25 m apart. Their total mass is 4.0

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

M = 3.9406 kg and m = 0.0594 kg

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them. Mathematically it is expressed as follows:

Fg = (G×M×m)/r² Formula (1)

Where:

Fg is the gravitational force (N)

G is the universal gravitation constant, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ (N×m²)/kg²

M and m are the masses of the bodies that interact (kg).

r is the distance that separates them (m).

Known Data

Fg = 2.5 × 10⁻¹⁰ N

r = 0.25 m

G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ (N×m²)/kg²

Problem development

We propose 2 equations

M + m = 4kg

M = 4 - m equation (1)

We replace in formula (1)

2.5 × 10⁻¹⁰ = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × M × m)/(0.25)²

2.5 × 10⁻¹⁰ × (0.25)² = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × M × m)

(2.5 × 10⁻¹⁰ × (0.25)²)/(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹) = M × m

M × m = 0.234 equation (2)

We replace M = 4 - m in equation (2)

(4 - m) × m = 0.234

4m - m² = 0.234

m² - 4m + 0.234 = 0 (quadratic equation)

We apply the formula for the quadratic equation and obtain 2 values for m that meet the conditions:

m = 3.9406 kg or m = 0.0594 kg

We replace m in equation (1)

M = 4 - 3.9406 = 0.0594 kg or M = 4 - 0.0594 = 3.9406

To meet the condition that M + m must give 4 kg, one mass must be equal 3.9406 and the other must equal 0.0594, then:

M = 3.9406 kg and m = 0.0594 kg

Homes are often insulated with fiberglass insulation in their walls and ceiling. The thermal conductivity of fiberglass is 0.040

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.866 x 10^8 J

Explanation:

Thermal conductivity, K = 0.040 W/m^2 k

Area of the wall, A = 470 m^2

Thickness, d = 17 cm = 0.17 m

difference in temperature, ΔT = 30° C

The rate of heat flow is H.

Time, t = 1 day = 1 x 24 x 60 x 60 second = 86400 second

By use of formula of heat flow

$H=\frac{K A \Delta T}{d}t$

$H=\frac{0.040 \times 470 \times 30}{0.17}\times 86400$

H = 2.866 x 10^8 J

A copper sphere was moving at 25 m/s when it hit another object. this caused all of the ke to be converted into thermal energy f

muminat

ΔT= 81°C was the increase in temperature.

<h3>steps</h3>

As evidenced by energy conservation

To increase its temperature, all of its kinetic energy will be converted to thermal energy.

$\frac{1}{2}mv ^{2} = ms$ ΔT

then divide both sides by the object's mass.

$\frac{1}{2} v^{2} =s$ ΔT

therefore, a temperature shift is described as

ΔT= $V^{2} /2s$

ΔT= $25^{2}$ / 2 x 387

ΔT= 81°C

ΔT= 81°C was the increase in temperature.
