The aorta is approximately 25 mm in diameter. The mean pressure there is about 100 mmHg and the blood flows through the aorta at

approximately 60 cm/s. Suppose that at a certain point a portion of the aorta is blocked so that the cross-sectional area is reduced to 3/4 of its original area. The density of blood is 1060 kg/m3.
(a) How fast is the blood moving just as it enters the blocked portion of the aorta? (in cm/s)

(b) What is the gauge pressure (in mmHg) of the blood just as it has entered the blocked portion of the aorta? (in mmHg)

Answer:

Explanation:

25 mm diameter

r₁  = 12.5 x 10⁻³ m radius.

cross sectional area =  a₁

Pressure P₁  = 100 x 10⁻³ x 13.6 x 9.8 Pa

a )

velocity of blood v₁ = .6 m /s

Cross sectional area at blockade = 3/4 a₁

Velocity at blockade area = v₂

As liquid is in-compressible

a₁v₁ = a₂v₂

a₁ x .6 m /s  = 3/4 a₁ v₂

v₂ = .8m/s

b )

Applying Bernauli's theorem formula

P₁ + 1/2 ρv₁² =  P₂ +  1/2 ρv₂²

100 x 10⁻³ x 13.6 x10³x 9.8 + 1/2 X 1060 x .6² = P₂ +  1/2x 1060 x .8²

13328 +190.8 = P₂ + 339.2

P₂ = 13179.6 Pa

= 13179 / 13.6 x 10³ x 9.8 m of Hg

P₂ =  .09888 m of Hg

98.88 mm of Hg

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

It will be cut in half

Explanation:

The diffraction of a slit is given by the formula

a sin θ = m where

a = width of the slit,

λ = wavelength and

m = integer that determines the order of diffraction.

Next we divide both sides by a, we have

sin θ = m λ / a

Also, recall that

a’ = 2 a

Then we substitute in the previous equation

2asin θ' = m λ, if divide by 2a, we have

sin θ' = (m λ / 2a).

Now again, from the first equation, we said that sin θ = m λ / a, so we substitute

sin θ ’= sin θ / 2

Then we use trigonometry to find the width, we say

tan θ = y / L

Since the angle is small, we then have

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

tan θ = sin θ, this then means that

sin θ = y / L

we will then substitute

y’ / L = y/L 1/2

y' = y / 2

this means that when the slit width is doubled the pattern width will then be halved

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi
alexdok [17]
The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.

Could Mars be a suitable alternative to Earth as a second home for humans? Explain your answer.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

After the Earth, Mars is the most habitable planet in our solar system due to several reasons: Its soil contains water to extract. It isn't too cold or too hot. ... Gravity on Mars is 38% that of our Earth's, which is believed by many to be sufficient for the human body to adapt to.

You drop two balls from a tower, one of mass m and the other of mass 3m.
neonofarm [45]
The potential energy that the ball has at the top of the tower is its kinetic energy when it hits the ground. The second ball has more potential energy at the top, because you did more work on it to carry it up there. So it has more KE at the bottom. (A)
