You begin your study by measuring the electromagnetic energy being emitted from a lizard's skin, which you find is rapidly transported away by a breeze that replaces the warm air around the lizard with cooler air. The heat energy is transported by the wind up the face of a small mountain, where the air is cooler. On the mountain, the heat energy comes into contact with a mouse's skin, and the energy is transferred to the mouse. As more and more energy is transferred to the mouse, it begins to pant and sweat to cool itself down. Describe in order the modes of heat gain and loss that you have observed in your study.

Number i Units >arrow_forwardA length of string is attached to a speaker and passed over a pulley, as shown in the figure. A mass is attached to the hanging end of the string. The distance between the speaker and the pulley is L = 0.767 m. The entire length of the string is 1.11 m and the mass of the string is measured to be 0.396×10-3 kg. The speaker is connected to a function generator that is set to produce a sinusoidal waveform having frequency 53.5 Hz. This causes the string to oscillate in the third harmonic. 1. Determine the wavelength, in meters, of the standing transverse wave in the string for the third harmonic. 2. What is the propagation speed, in meters per second, of a transverse wave in the string? 3. What is the tension in the string, in newtons? 4. What is the mass, in kilograms, of the object hanging from the end of the string?arrow_forward
