A cubic sample of a new kind of artificial tissue is subject to an increase in pressure of 160 kPa which results in a reduction

in the side length of the cube of 6.5%. That is, the side length of the cube has reduced from L0 to 0.935L0.
What is the bulk modulus of the tissue?

Answer:

0.82 MPa

Explanation:

the change in pressure 'σ'=160kPa

K= σ/∈ $Ф_v$ => σ/3∈ $Ф_L$

K= 160/(3 x 0.065)

K=820 kPA=0.82 MPa

Thus,the bulk modulus of the tissue 'K' is 0.82 MPa

12. A car is travelling at 30 m/s when the driver sees a red light in the distance and immediately applies the brakes. The car c

Triss [41]

Answer:

22.5 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 30 m/s

Time (t) = 1.5 s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Distance (s) =?

The distance to which the car move before stopping from the time the driver applied the brake can be obtained as follow:

s = (u + v)t/2

s = (30 + 0)1.5 / 2

s = (30 × 1.5) / 2

s = 45 / 2

s = 22.5 m

Thus, the car will move to a distance of 22.5 m before stopping from the time the driver applied the brake.

For 0.37 moles of oxygen (02) gas at room temperature with active translational and rotational degrees of freedom.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

B. 161.5 J

Explanation:

$n$ = Number of moles = 0.37

$\Delta T$ = Rise in the temperature of the oxygen gas = 15 K

$Q$ = heat added in order to raise the temperature

$c_{p}$ = specific heat at constant pressure = 3.5

At constant pressure, heat is given as

$Q = n c_{p} R \Delta T\\Q = (3.5) (0.37) (8.314) (15)\\Q = 161.5 J$

What is the difference between alcoholic and Mercury thermometer based on their function?

user100 [1]

Alcohol filled thermometer is used for low temperature applications. (Weather) It’s freezing point is -70 degC
While mercury freezes at -38 deg C

Mercury is/was better for human and other animal temps. High thermal coefficient of expansion mercury vs. alcohol = better resolution for small temperature changes in a medical application.

For higher temperatures alcohol will boil before mercury will.

Which of the following is an accurate description of synaptic pruning?

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer options:

A) Some connections are lost because critical stages of development were missed.

B) Some connections are lost so others can be strengthened.

C) Some connections are lost because of experimentation with drugs or alcohol.

D) Some connections are lost so that children become less dependent and are less tied to their parents.

Answer:

B) Some connections are lost so others can be strengthened.

Explanation:

Synaptic pruning refers to a natural process that occurs in the brain between childhood and adulthood. Extra synaptic connections are eliminated in order to increase the efficiency of neuronal communications. It is thought to be the brain’s way of removing connections that are no longer needed.

Two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. Horatio stands on a platform 9.8 m above the ground a

xenn [34]

Answer:

Time = 0.55 s

Height = 8.3 m

Explanation:

The ball is dropped and therefore has an initial velocity of 0. Its acceleration, g, is directed downward in the same direction as its displacement, $h_b$ .

The dart is thrown up in which case acceleration, g, acts downward in an opposite direction to its displacement, $h_d$ . Both collide after travelling for a time period, t. Let the height of the dart from the ground at collision be $h_d$ and the distance travelled by the ball measured from the top be $h_b$ .

It follows that $h_d+h_b=9.8$ .

Applying the equation of motion to each body (h = v_0t + 0.5at^2),

Ball:

$h_b=0\times t + 0.5\times 9.8t^2$ (since $v_{b0} =0$ .)

$h_b=4.9t^2$

Dart:

$h_d=17.8\times t - 0.5\times9.8t^2$ (the acceleration is opposite to the displacement, hence the negative sign)

$h_d=17.8\times t - 4.9t^2$

But

$h_b+h_d =9.8$

$17.8\times t - 4.9t^2+4.9t^2 =9.8$

$17.8\times t = 9.8$

$t = 0.55$

The height of the collision is the height of the dart above the ground, $h_d$ .

$h_d=17.8\times t - 4.9t^2$

$h_d=17.8\times 0.55 - 4.9\times(0.55)^2$

$h_d=9.79 - 1.48225$

$h_d=8.3$
