Answer:

The velocity of blood on an obstructed segment of an artery is greater than an obstructed one

Explanation:

The blood as an incompressible an laminar fluid let us to assume the flux of blood in all segments of an artery is the same, this is known as continuity equation and let us to write the change on the flux between some point 1 and some point 2 as:

\Delta Q = 0

Q_2-Q_1=0

Q_2=Q_1 (1)

So, if we take the Q1 as the flux on the unobstructed artery and Q2 the obstructed artery, we're saying the flux of blood on the obstructed artery is the same in the unobstructed one. Flux is defined as the velocity of a fluid times the cross-section area on a specific point, so (1) is:

v_2*A_2=v_1*A_1

With v the velocity and A the cross-section area, in our should be assumed as a circle of some dimeter D1 and D2 (remember the area of a circle is \frac{\pi*D^2}{4})

v_2*\frac{\pi *D_2^2}{4}=v_1*\frac{\pi *D_1^2}{4}

For an obstructed artery D2 is less than D1 and because we have an equality and \frac{\pi}{4} is constant, v2 should be greater than v1 to conserve the equality, that means the velocity of blood on an obstructed segment of an artery is greater than an obstructed one.

Answer:

   v₀ = 60.38 mi / h

With this stopping distance, the starting speed should have been 60.38 mi/h, which is much higher than the maximum speed allowed.

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by using Newton's second law

Y axis

        N-W = 0

        N = W

X axis

         fr = m a

the expression for the friction force is

         fr = μ N

we substitute

        μ mg = m a

        μ g = a

calculate us

         a = 0.620  9.8

         a = 6.076 m / s²

now we can use the kinematics relations

          v² = v₀² - 2 a x

suppose v = 0

          v₀ = \sqrt{2ax}Ra 2ax

let's calculate

         v₀ = \sqrt{2 \ 6076 \ 60}

         v₀ = 27.00 m / s

let's slow down to the english system

          v₀ = 27.0 m / s (3.28 ft / 1m) (1 mile / 5280 ft) (3600s / 1h)

          v₀ = 60.38 mi / h

With this stopping distance, the starting speed should have been 60.38 mi/h, which is much higher than the maximum speed allowed.

Which example is NOT the proper use of a casting of a toolmark?
Reika [66]
When we say toolmark, this describes as the mark that is produced by a particular tool. This is typically used in forensic science for identification. Based on the examples above, the one that is not the proper use of casting of a toolmark is option B. Hope this helps.

artcher [175]

Answer:

3.True. The magnitude of momentum is the same

Explanation:

Let's propose the solution of the problem

The initial moment is

                     p₀ = m v

The final moment

                     p_{f} = m (-v)

 

                  p₀ = - p_{f}

Now we can review the claims

1. False. We see that the moment module is the same, but its direction changes

2. False. The impulse is a vector

3.True. The magnitude of momentum is the same
