Suppose you measure a standing person's blood pressure by placing the cuff on his leg 0.470 m below the heart. calculate the pre

ssures you would observe (in units of mm hg) if the pressure at the heart were 120 over 80 mm hg. assume there is no loss of pressure due to resistance in the circulatory system (a reasonable assumption, since major arteries are large).

The first pressure is illustrative of the maximum output of the heart; the second is because of the elasticity of the arteries in upholding the pressure between beats. Solution:760 mm HG is equivalent to 13.6*.760 m =10.34 m H2O 
Then multiply: 470/10.34 * 760mmHg to each of the readings. The answer is about 35 mmHg add this to the current reading of 120/80
Therefore:ΔP=35 mm Hg,Leg blood pressure is 155/115.

A force is applied to an ideal spring (initially in its equilibrium position) and does 1.9 JJ of work stretching it 2.2 cmcm . H
Verdich [7]

Answer:

W=16.58J

Explanation:

initial information we have

work: W=1.9J

stretched distance: x=2.2cm=0.022m

from this, we can find the value of the constant of the spring k, with the equation for work in a spring:

W=\frac{1}{2} kx^2

substituting known values:

1.9J=\frac{1}{2}k(0.022)^2\\

and clearing for k:

k=\frac{2(1.9J)}{0.022^2} \\k=7,851.24

and now we want to know how much work is done when we stretch the spring a distance of 6.5cm from equilibrium, so now x is:

x=6.5cm=0.065m

and using the same formula for work, with the value of k that we just found:

W=\frac{1}{2} kx^2

W=\frac{1}{2}(7851.24)(0.065)^2\\W=16.58J

How is the force of gravity mathematically related to the factors<br> that answer Question I?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Probably the more correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree.

Hello!

Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.

The stars, Rigel and Betelgeuse, are both found in the constellation, Orion. Rigel is a blue supergiant, and Betelgeuse is a red
sattari [20]

Answer: a

Explanation: The color of a star is linked to its surface temperature. The hotter the star, the shorter the wavelength of light it will emit. The hottest ones are blue or blue-white, which are shorter wavelengths of light. Cooler ones are red or red-brown, which are longer wavelengths.

When vibrational motion in an object increases, which is a true statement?
ss7ja [257]
Hello friend!!

We know that kinetic energy is the energy possessed due to the motion of the object. And we know if the object is in a fast motion then the temperature would be high, whereas if the object is slow in motion then it will have lower temperature. So we know that the kinetic energy is indirectly related to temperature.From our knowledge we can conclude that HIGHER THE TEMPERATURE, HIGHER THE KINETIC ENERGY and LOWER THE TEMPERATURE, LOWER THE KINETIC ENERGY.
Hence, the answer to your question here is,a.kinetic energy, temperature, and thermal energy increase. 
Hope it helps!!All the best!!
