Answer:

1 m = 39.37 in = 39.37/12 ft = 3.28 ft

V = 1145 k/hr = 1145k/hr * 6076 ft/k = 6957020 ft / hr

V = 6957020 ft/hr / 3600 s/hr = 1933 ft/sec

V = 1933 ft/sec / (3.28 ft / m) = 589 m/s

Check:

88 ft/sec = 60 mph

(1145 k/hr * 6076 ft / k) 3600 sec/hr = 1933 ft/sec = 589 m/s

1933 ft/sec / (88 ft/sec) * 60 mph = 1318 mph

Also, 1318 / 1145 = 6076 / 5280 as it should

The concentration of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid is regulated by :

Liula [17]

Answer:

Kidney

Explanation:

One of the main function of the kidney is to maintain the homeostasis of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body.

Aldosterone is a key steroid hormone that balances sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid. Potassium and sodium ions generate electric impulse in the body which helps to perform different activities such as muscles flexing.

Kidney function for reabsorption and secretion, in which reabsorption of Na is done nd balances the sodium and potassium in the blood and body.

According to Kepler's Second Law the radius vector drawn from the Sun to a planet Multiple Choice is the same for all planets. s

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

Explanation:

As we know that there is no torque due to Sun on the planets revolving about the sun

so we will have

$\tau_{net} = 0$

now we have

$\frac{dL}{dt}= 0$

now we also know that

$Area = \frac{1}{2}r^2d\theta$

so rate of change in area is given as

$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\frac{d\theta}{dt}$

so we will have

$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}r^2\omega$

$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{L}{2m}$

since angular momentum and mass is constant here so

all planets sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
