In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects

Both the total momentum and the total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

- In a collision between two or more objects, if there are no external forces acting on the system (isolated system), the total momentum of the objects is always conserved. This is called principle of conservation of momentum, and can be written as follows:

mu+MU = mv+MV

where

m, M are the masses of the two objects

u, U are the initial velocities of the two objects

v, V are the final velocities of the two objects

- The total kinetic energy, however, is not always conserved. In fact, we have two types of collision:

1) In a perfectly elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the objects is conserved. This means that we can write the following equation:

\frac{1}{2}mu^2 + \frac{1}{2}MU^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2

2) In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the object is NOT conserved. This means that part of the total kinetic energy is "lost", converted into other forms of energy (mainly thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces within the system). The most extreme case is called perfectly inelastic collision, in which the two objects stick together after the collision, and there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy.

How many times does a human heart beat during a person’s lifetime? How many gallons of blood does it pump? (Estimate that the he
Nostrana [21]

Answer: The heart pumps 124.2 billion cm³ of blood in a lifetime

Explanation:

as an adult the pulse rate average must be around 72 beats per minute.

The heart beats about 103,680 times in a day.

There are 365 days in a year

number of heart beat in a year = 365 days x 103,680 = 37,843,200 beats in a year

For every the heart pumps 50cm³ of blood,

Hence,

Amount of blood pump in a year = 50 x 37,843,200 = 1,892,160,000cm³ of blood pumped in a year.

Using the estimated lifespan average an individual is 69 years

So in a life time,

The human heart pumps = 1,892,160,000 x 69 years = 124,200,000,000

If the heart pumps 50cm³ of blood per beat, the heart pumps a total of 130,559,040,000 cm³ (130.6 billion cm³) of blood in a LIFETIME.

Pls help answer embed <br>​
Savatey [412]

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, v_t=60\ m/s

Area of cross section, A=0.33\ m^2

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

Weight of the object = drag force

R = W

or

\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg

Where

\rho is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.

If μs is greater than some critical value, the woman cannot start the crate moving no matter how hard she pushes. calculate this
fiasKO [112]

weight = mg acts downwards <span>
normal force = N acts upwards. 
and force F acts at an angle θ below the horizontal. 
(Let us assume that the woman pushes from the left, so F is acted towards the right, which is below the horizontal) 
so that, Frictional force, f=us*N acts towards the left 

Now we balance the forces along x and y directions: 
y direction: N = mg + F sinΘ 
x direction: us * N = F cosΘ 

We let the value of µs be equal to a value such that any F will not be able to move the crate. Then, if we increase F by an amount F', then the force pushing the crate towards the right also increases by F' cosΘ. Additionally, the frictional force f must raise by exactly this amount. 
Since f can’t exceed us*N, so the normal force must increase by F' cosΘ/us. 
Also, from the y direction equation, the normal force exceeds by F' sin Θ. 

<span>These two values must be the same, therefore:
<span>us = cot θ</span></span></span>
