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 person jumps off a diving board 5.0 m above the water's surface into a deep pool. The person's downward motion stops 2.2 m bel
shutvik [7]

Answer:

9.9 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 5+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=9.9\ m/s

If the body has started from rest then the initial velocity is 0. In order to find the velocity just before hitting the water then the distance at which the downward motion stops is irrelevant.

Hence, the speed of the diver just before striking the water is 9.9 m/s

Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, so that objects on its surface execute uniform circular motion about the axis wit
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

v=1667.9km/h

a_{cp}=436.6km/h^2

Explanation:

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken. The distance traveled in 24hs while standing on the equator is the circumference of the Earth C=2\pi R, where R=6371km is the radius of the Earth.

We have then:

v=\frac{C}{t}=\frac{2\pi R}{t}=\frac{2\pi (6371km)}{(24h)}=1667.9km/h

And then we use the centripetal acceleration formula:

a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}=\frac{(1667.9km/h)^2}{(6371km)}=436.6km/h^2

Why do you think the combined wave is more powerful than either the transverse or longitudinal wave with the same amplitude
liq [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

The combined wave only end up been more powerful than the Longitudinal wave. This means, the transverse wave is more powerful than the combined wave. In transverse wave, the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while in longitudinal wave, the motion of the movement of the object is parallel to the movement of the wave. And in combined wave, the movement of the medium is in a circular manner,

worty [1.4K]
Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium
