Why might scientists measure the mass of object rather than the weight of an object?

We want to calculate the total metabolic heat generated by a singing canary taking into account heat transfer by radiation, convection and exhaling air. the air temperature is 20 oc, canary’s body internal and surface temperature is 33oc, external body surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 25.2 w/m2 .k, temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air is 4.3 oc, the ventilation rate is 0.74 cc of air per second, specific heat of air is 1.0066 kj/kg.k and density of air is 1.16 kg/m3 . assume the canary’s body to be a cylinder with 7 cm diameter and 9 cm length, and heat exchange is from the side as well as the top and bottom of cylinder. calculate 1) the net rate of heat lost by radiation, assuming heat gained by the bird through radiation from the surroundings is 11.5 w; 2) rate of heat transferred by convection to the surrounding air; 3) rate of heat transferred in the exhaling air without considering any internal evaporation; 4) total metabolic power.

Need people build a dam to create a reservoir that supplies water a nearby city needs. describe two ways this action will likely affect the water cycle in the local environment. (5 points) worth 20 points

Global climatic patterns are changing because of the melting of polar ice caps. the melting of polar ice caps is an example of the interaction between the atmosphere and cryosphere cryosphere and geosphere hydrosphere and geosphere biosphere and cryosphere
