c) gauge pressure in the blood at its heart is 246 torr. Assume that the giraffe stands upright and the blood density is 1.06 × 103 kg/m3. In torr (or mm Hg), find the (gauge) blood pressure.
(a) at the brain (the pressure is enough to perfuse the brain with blood, to keep the giraffe from fainting)
(b) at the feet (the pressure must be countered by tight-fitting skin acting like a pressure stocking).
(c) If the giraffe were to lower its head to drink from a pond without splaying its legs and moving slowly, what would be the increase in the blood pressure in the brain? (Such action would probably be lethal.)

Answer:

1)     Pm₂ = 1.9 10⁴ Pa , b)  P_feet = 5.4 10⁴ Pa , c)  Pm₄ = 4.4 10⁴ Pa

Explanation:

a) Pressure can be found using Bernoulli's equation

         P₁ + ½ rho v₁² + rho g y₁ = P₂ + ½ rho v₂² + rgo g y₂

The amount of blood that runs through the constant system, all the blood that reaches the brain leaves it, so we can assume that the speed of entry and exit of the total blood is the same. In this case the equation is

       P₁-P₂ = rgo h (y₂-y₁)

The gauge pressure is

      Pm = P₁ -P₂

      Pm₂ = 1.06 10³ 9.8 1.83

      Pm₂ = 19 10³ Pa

      Pm₂ = 1.9 10⁴ Pa

The pressure in the heart is

      Pm₁ = 246 torr (1,013 10⁵ Pa / 760 torr) = 3,279 10⁴ Pa

Therefore the gauge pressure is an order of magnitude less

Total or absolute pressure is

      Pm₂ = P_heart - P_brain

      P_brain = P_heart - Pm₂

      P brain = 3,279 10⁴ - 1.9 10⁴

      P brain = 1.4 104 Pa

b) on the feet

    Pm₃ = rho g y₃

    y = 2.04 m

    Pm₃ = 1.06 10³ 9.8 2.04

    Pm₃ = 21 10³ Pa

   Pm₃ = 2.1 10⁴ Pa

Total pressure

    Pm₃ = P_feet + P_heart

   P_feet = Pm₃ + P_heart

  P_feet = 3,279 10⁴ + 2.1 10⁴

 P_feet = 5.4 10⁴ Pa

c) If you lower your head the height change is

    h = 1.83 +2.04

    h = 4.23 m

    Pm₄ = 1.06 10³ 9.8 4.23

    Pm₄ = 4.4 10⁴ Pa

A point charge q1 = 4.50 nC is located on the x-axis at x = 1.95 m , and a second point charge q2 = -6.80 nC is on the y-axis at
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

One charge is situated at x = 1.95 m . Second charge is situated at y = 1.00 m

These two charges are situated outside sphere as it has radius of .365 m with center at origin. So charge inside sphere = zero.

Applying Gauss's theorem

Flux through spherical surface = charge inside sphere / ε₀

= 0 / ε₀

= 0 Ans .

Kinetic energy and mass are ________ proportional.
omeli [17]

Answer:

The Kinetic energy and mass are _directly_ proportional.

Explanation:

We know that Kinetic Energy is basically termed as the capacity of a body to do work.

Kinetic energy is often used to associate with moving objects, therefore, K.E is normally termed as the energy of motion.

The formula of K.E of an object of mass and velocity is defined

K.E = 1/2mv²

From the formula, it is clear that K.E is directly proportional to its mass and also directly proportional to the square of its velocity.

For example,

If A toy plane with a mass of 10 kg is flying at 20 m/s. Its K.E will be:

  • m = 10 kg
  • v = 20 m/s

K.E = 1/2mv²

      = 1/2(10)(20)²

      = 1/2(10)(400)

       = 5(400)

      = 2000 J

Now, let suppose, if we double the mass of a toy plane i.e.

m = 20 kg

so

K.E = 1/2mv²

      = 1/2(20)(20)²

      = 1/2(20)(400)

      = 10(400)

      = 400 J

Therefore, the K.E is doubled when doubled the mass.

Therefore, the Kinetic energy and mass are _directly_ proportional.

Match the environmental remedlation method to Its description.
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1. Soil vapor extraction  - 3

2. Air sparging  - 1

3. bioventing  - 4

4. Natural attenuation -2

Explanation:

Soil vapor extraction - Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is the method in which  perforated pipes are used into the soil and air is injected through the pipes. Contamination in soil then removed through perforation in pipes and disposed into an off-gas treatment unit.

Air sparging  - In air sparging process air is injected in bubble form that remediates groundwater by volatilizing contaminants and enhancing biodegradation.

Bioventing  - In bioinventing process low air flow rates are used that provide enough oxygen to sustain microbial activity in the soil and remove other contamination form the soil.

Natural attenuation - Natural attenuation is a natural process of  environmental remediation which reduce the toxicity, mass, or concentration of contaminants in soil without human intervention.

A pirate ship shoots a cannon towards an oncoming ship. The cannon ball has a mass of 25 kg and the ship has a mass of 2500 kg.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

Explanation:

Assume the ship recoil velocity and velocity of the cannon ball aligns. By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved before and after the shooting. Before the shooting, the total momentum is 0 due to system is at rest. Therefore, the total momentum after the shooting must also be 0:

m_sv_s + m_bv_b = 0

where m_s = 2500 kg, m_b = 25 kg are masses of the ship and ball respectively. v_s = 0.25 m/s, v_b are the velocities of the ship and ball respectively, after the shooting.

2500*0.25 + 25*v_b = 0

25v_b = -2500*0.25

v_b = -2500*0.25/25 = -25 m/s

So the cannon ball has a velocity of 25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
