<span>Copernicus decided this with more of an educated guess than anything. For example is when your standing right next to a plane it's huge Right? Well when it's flying it looks really small. He used the same reasoning for stars. Since it looks small it must be farther away.</span>

"A 78-year-old woman has a mean arterial pressure of 120 mm Hg and a heart rate of 60 beats/min. She has a stroke volume of 50 m
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

0.04 mm Hg / mL / min .

Explanation:

Arterial pressure = 120 mm Hg

right atrial pressure = 0 mm Hg

Drop in pressure due to peripheral resistance = 120 mm Hg

volume of cardiac output per minute = 3000 mL/min

total  peripheral resistance

= 120 / 3000 mm Hg / mL / min

= 0.04 mm Hg / mL / min .

Two iron bolts of equal Mass one at a hundred see another at 55 Sierra place in the insulated cylinder assuming the heat capacit
malfutka [58]

Answer:

T_2 = 77.5c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Temp of first boltsT_1=100

Temp of 2nd bolt T_2=55

Generally the equation showing the relationship between  heat & temperature is given by

  q=cm \triangle T

Generally heat released  by the iron bolt  = heat gained by the iron bolt

Generally solving mathematically

     -(0.45*m* (T_2-100  \textdegree c)) = 0.45*m*(T_2 -55\textdegree c)

     -(T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = (T_2 -55 \textdegree c)

      T_2 +T_2= 100 \textdegree c+55 \textdegree c

      T_2=\frac{155 \textdegree c}{2}

      T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c

Therefore T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c is the final temperature inside the container

What is the force on a 250 kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec2?​
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Since it is falling freely, the only force on it is its weight, w.

w = m × g = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 2450 Newton/N

A monkey running through the jungle goes 0.198 km straight to the East, then turns 15.8° deflection from straight East toward th
inn [45]

Answer:

|\vec r|=339.82\ m

\theta=-6.67^o

Explanation:

<u>Displacement </u>

It's a vector magnitude that measures the space traveled by a particle between an initial and a final position. The total displacement can be obtained by adding the vectors of each individual displacement. In the case of two displacements:

\vec r=\vec r_1+\vec r_2

Given a vector as its polar coordinates (r,\theta), the corresponding rectangular coordinates are computed with

x=rcos\theta

y=rsin\theta

And the vector is expressed as

\vec z==

The monkey first makes a displacement given by (0.198 km,0°). The angle is 0 because it goes to the East, the zero-reference for angles. Thus the first displacement is

\vec r_1==\ km=\ m

The second move is (145 m , -15.8°). The angle is negative because it points South of East. The second displacement is

\vec r_2==\ m

The total displacement is

\vec r=\ m+\ m

\vec r=\ m

In (magnitude,angle) form:

|\vec r|=\sqrt{337.52^2+(-39.48)^2}=339.82\ m

\boxed{|\vec r|=339.82\ m}

\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{-39.48}{337.52}=-0.1169

\boxed{\theta=-6.67^o}
