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

An object is thrown directly up (positive direction) with a velocity (vo) of 20.0 m/s and do= 0. How high does it rise (v = 0 cm
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The value of d is 20.4 m.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity = 20 m/s

Final velocity = 0

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

v = u+gt

Where, u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

Put the value into the formula

t = \dfrac{20}{9.8}

t= 2.04\ sec

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.04)^2

s=20.4\ m

Hence, The value of d is 20.4 m.

Q1: An object with a charge of 1.2 C is located 4.5 m away from a second object that has a charge of 0.36 C. Find the electrical
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

a) F= 0,19  [N]   according to problem statement

b) F = 0,19*10⁹ [N]  using the right value of K

Explanation:

The force between two electric charges is according to Coulomb´s law is:

F = K * q₁*q₂ / d²    where  q₁  and q₂ are the charges on body one and body 2 respectively, d is the distance between the two bodies and K is a constant  K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². The problem establishes to use        K = 8,988100 N.m²/C².

NOTE: To value of is :  K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². I am going to solve the problem using K = 8,988100 N.m²/C² if that information was an error, all we need to get the right answer is multiply the result by 10⁹

Then:

F = 8,988100 * 1,2* 0,36 / (4,5)²     [ N*m²/C² ] * [ C*C*/m²]

F = 3,882859/ 20,25  [N]

F= 0,19  [N]

The force is of repulsion since the two charges are positive and in the direction of the straight line which passes through the centers of the bodies
