Impedance plethysmography is a technique that can be used to detect thrombosis--the presence of clots in a blood vessel--by meas

uring the electrical resistance of a limb, such as the calf of the leg. In a typical clinical setting, a current of 200 μA is passed through the leg from the upper thigh to the foot. The voltage is measured at two points along the calf separated by 13 cm. Part A:
If the voltage measured is 17 mV, what is the resistance of the calf between the electrodes?

Part B:

If the average calf diameter between the electrodes is 12 cm, what is the average resistivity of this part of the leg?

Answer:

a) The resistance of the calf between the electrodes is 85\Omega

b) The average resistivity of this part of the leg is 57.81m\Omega/cm^{3}

Explanation:

Hi

a) Using Ohm's law V=IR, solving for R, we obtain R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{17mV}{200uA}=85\Omega

b) The volume of the calf is like a cylinder, so Vol=\pi r^{2}h, with h=13cm and r=d/2=6cm, therefore Vol=\pi (6cm)^{2}(13cm)=468\pi cm^{3}. Then we can use R_{av}=\frac{R}{Vol} =\frac{85\Omega}{468\pi cm^{3}} =0.05781\Omega /cm^{3}=57.81m\Omega/cm^{3}, this is the average resistivity of this part of the leg.

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands
seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV =  n*R*T  ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)  = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:the atom consists of a tiny nucleus at its center which is surrounded by a moving electrons. The nucleus contains a positively charged proton equal in size with the negatively charged electrons . The nucleus also may contain neutrons which have the same mass with the protons but no charge is neutral.

(8c8p49) A 115g Frisbee is thrown from a point 1.00 m above the ground with a speed of 12.00 m/s. When it has reached a height o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Frisbee, m = 115 g = 0.115 kg

Initial speed of Frisbee, u = 12 m/s at a point 1 m above the ground

Final speed of Frisbee , v = 10.9674 m/s when it has reached a height of 2.00 m. Let W is the work done on the Frisbee by its weight. According to work energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. So,

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.115\times\left((10.9674)^{2}-(12)^{2})\right)\\\\W=-1.36\ J

So, the work done on the Frisbee is 1.36 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
