What is the difference in blood pressure (mm-hg) between the bottom of the feet and the top of the head of a 1.87-m-tall person

standing vertically? 1 mm-hg = 133 n/m2. the density of blood is 1050 kg/m3?

Using the hydraulic principle, hydraulic pressure is uniform in all directions of a static liquid, and increases with depth according to density.


Assuming the variation of blood pressure is the same as a static liquid, we need to find the difference according to height.

A column of 1.87 m of blood exerts a pressure of

1.87*1050 kg/m^3*9.81

= 19261 n/m^2 or 19261 Pa


Convert to mm-Hg

= 19261 n/m^2/ 133 (n/m^2/mm-Hg)

= 144.8 mm-Hg

= 145 mm-Hg (to three significant figures)

A current of 1.75 A flows through a 55.4 Ω resistor for 9.5 min. How much heat was generated by the resistor? Answer in units of
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

9.67\times 10^4 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Current=I=1.75 A

Resistance =R=55.4 ohm

Time=t=9.5 min=9.5\times 60=570 s

1 min=60 s

We have to find the heat generated by the resistor.

We know that

Heat=E=I^2Rt

Using the formula

Heat,E=(1.75)^2\times 55.4\times 570=9.67\times 10^{4} J

Hence, the heat generated by the resistor =9.67\times 10^4 J

Determine the wavelengths for Potassium (violet, λ = 400 nm) and Strontium (red, λ = 700 nm) light emissions. Calculate the freq
TEA [102]

Answer:

For Potassium:

Frequency = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz; E (energy) = 8.83 x 10⁻²¹ J

For Strontium:

Frequency = 4.3 x 0¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Wavelength is represented by λ, and Frequency is represented by ν .

E (energy) = hν = hc/λ,  where ν = frequency; c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s; 1 s-1 = 1 Hz

h = planck's constant = 6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s; 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1. Potassium λ (wavelength) = 400 nm, Frequency, ν  is given by :

ν = c/λ = (3 x 10⁸  m/s) / 400 nm

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 400 x 10⁻⁹ s-1

  = 0.0075 x 10¹⁷s-1

  = 7.5 x 10¹⁴  s-1

Frequency = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = hν = (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s) x (7.5 x 10¹⁴s-1)

E (energy) = 8.83 x 10⁻²¹ J

2. Strontium λ (wavelength) = 700 nm ,Frequency, ν  is given by :

ν = c/λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 700 nm

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 700 x 10⁻⁹s-1

  = 0.00428571428 x 10¹⁷s-1

  = 4.3 x 10¹⁴ s-1

Frequency = 4.3 x 0¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = hν = (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s) x (4.3 x 0¹⁴s-1)

E (energy) = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Dump Tower is 96 stories tall. A small, 1.2-kg object is dropped over the side of the roof of the tower and accelerates toward t
laiz [17]

Answer:

6.0 s

98 m/s

Explanation:

The radius of the planet is much bigger than the height of the tower, so we will assume the acceleration is constant.  Neglect air resistance.

Acceleration due to gravity on this planet is:

a = GM / r²

a = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²) (2.7 × 1.48×10²³ kg) / (1.7 × 750,000 m)²

a = 16.4 m/s²

The height of the tower is:

Δy = 96 × 3.05 m

Δy = 293 m

Given v₀ = 0 m/s, find t and v.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(293 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (16.4 m/s²) t²

t = 6.0 s

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (16.4 m/s²) (293 m)

v = 98 m/s

Where do you find electromagnetic waves on earth? what are some everyday uses?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Radio waves are used for communications and radar. Microwaves are used to cook your food. Infrared waves are used in remote controls and are emitted from all warm objects, allowing them to be used to create heat-sensitive cameras.

Explanation:

Basically electromagnetic waves can be found in your everyday life.
