Giraffe bending to drink. In a giraffe with its head 1.83 m above its heart, and its heart 2.04 m above its feet, the(hydrostati

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

Be sure to answer all parts. Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 k
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Speed, v=6.66\times 10^6\ m/s

Mass of the electron, m_e=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Mass of the proton, m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

The wavelength of the electron is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{m_ev}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_e=1.09\times 10^{-10}\ m

The wavelength of the proton is given by :

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{m_p v}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 6.66\times 10^6}

\lambda_p=5.96\times 10^{-14}\ m

(b) Kinetic energy, K=1.71\times 10^{-15}\ J

The relation between the kinetic energy and the wavelength is given by :

\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eK}}

\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_e=1.18\times 10^{-11}\ m

\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pK}}

\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}

\lambda_p=2.77\times 10^{-13}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

You are an astronaut in space far away from any gravitational field, and you throw a rock as hard as you can. The rock will:
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

the rock will continue at the same speed unless it is affected by another force such as gravity and so if you threw it it will continue to move unless affected by a force

Explanation:

this is because Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
