How can fossil correlation be used to determine the ages of rock layers

Describe the friction of smooth surfaces

cluponka [151]

When two surfaces slide against each other, a force called friction makes them stick very slightly together. Smooth surfaces, like ice and glass, are easy to slide over. They create very little friction. Rough surfaces like rock and sand create much more friction, and are easy to grip on to.

hope it helps...!!!

Blood in a carotid artery carrying blood to the head is moving at 0.15 m/s when it reaches a section where plaque has narrowed t

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

26.9 Pa

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the continuity equation, which states that the volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe must be constant; mathematically:

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$ (1)

where

$A_1$ is the cross-sectional area of the 1st section of the pipe

$A_2$ is the cross-sectional area of the 2nd section of the pipe

$v_1$ is the velocity of the 1st section of the pipe

$v_2$ is the velocity of the 2nd section of the pipe

In this problem we have:

$v_1=0.15 m/s$ is the velocity of blood in the 1st section

The diameter of the 2nd section is 74% of that of the 1st section, so

$d_2=0.74d_1$

The cross-sectional area is proportional to the square of the diameter, so:

$A_2=(0.74)^2 A_1=0.548 A_1$

And solving eq.(1) for v2, we find the final velocity:

$v_2=\frac{A_1 v_1}{A_2}=\frac{A_1 (0.15)}{0.548 A_1}=0.274 m/s$

Now we can use Bernoulli's equation to find the pressure drop:

$p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

where

$\rho=1025 kg/m^3$ is the blood density

$p_1,p_2$ are the initial and final pressure

So the pressure drop is:

$p_1 - p_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)=\frac{1}{2}(1025)(0.274^2-0.15^2)=26.9 Pa$

A horizontal block-spring system with the block on a frictionless surface has total mechanical energy E = 50.9 J and a maximum d

Llana [10]

(a) 2446 N/m

When the spring is at its maximum displacement, the elastic potential energy of the system is equal to the total mechanical energy:

$E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

where

U is the elastic potential energy

k is the spring constant

A is the maximum displacement (the amplitude)

Here we have

U = E = 50.9 J

A = 0.204 m

Substituting and solving the formula for k,

$k=\frac{2E}{A^2}=\frac{2(50.9)}{(0.204)^2}=2446 N/m$

(b) 50.9 J

The total mechanical energy of the system at any time during the motion is given by:

E = K + U

where

K is the kinetic energy

U is the elastic potential energy

We know that the total mechanical energy is constant: E = 50.9 J

We also know that at the equilibrium point, the elastic potential energy is zero:

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=0$ because x (the displacement) is zero

Therefore the kinetic energy at the equilibrium point is simply equal to the total mechanical energy:

$K=E=50.9 J$

(c) 8.55 kg

The maximum speed of the block is v = 3.45 m/s, and it occurs when the kinetic energy is maximum, so when

K = 50.9 J (at the equilibrium position)

Kinetic energy can be written as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m is the mass

Solving the equation for m, we find the mass:

$m=\frac{2K}{v^2}=\frac{2(50.9)}{(3.45)^2}=8.55 kg$

(d) 2.14 m/s

When the displacement is

x = 0.160 m

The elastic potential energy is

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(2446)(0.160)^2=31.3 J$

So the kinetic energy is

$K=E-U=50.9 J-31.3 J=19.6 J$

And so we can find the speed through the formula of the kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(19.6)}{8.55}}=2.14 m/s$

(e) 19.6 J

The elastic potential energy when the displacement is x = 0.160 m is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(2446)(0.160)^2=31.3 J$

And since the total mechanical energy E is constant:

E = 50.9 J

the kinetic energy of the block at this point is

$K=E-U=50.9 J-31.3 J=19.6 J$

(f) 31.3 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring at any time is

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k = 2446 N/m is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Substituting

x = 0.160 m

we find the elastic potential energy:

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(2446)(0.160)^2=31.3 J$

(g) x = 0

The postion at that instant is x = 0, since it is given that at that instant the system passes the equilibrium position, which is zero.
