A prisoner tries to escape from a Nashville, Tennessee prison by hiding in the laundry truck. The prisoner is surprised when the

truck is stopped at the gate. A guard enters the truck and handcuffs him. "How did you know I was here?" the prisoner asks. "The heartbeat detector," says the guard.A heartbeat detector senses the tiny vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart. With each heartbeat, blood is pumped upward to the aorta, and the body recoils slightly, conserving the momentum of the blood-body system. The body's vibrations are transferred to the inside of the truck. Vibration sensors on the outside of the truck are linked to a geophone, or signal amplifier, attached to a computer. A wave analyzer program in the computer compares vibration signals from the truck to wavelets produced by heartbeat vibrations. The wave analyzer distinguishes a person's heartbeat from other vibrations in the truck or in the surrounding environment, allowing guards to detect the presence of a human in the truck.What does the heartbeat detector sense?1-Electric signals caused by electric dipole charges produced on the heart.2-Body vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.3-Sound caused by breathing.4-Slight uncontrollable reflexive motions of an enclosed person.5-All of the above

Answer:

2. Body vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.

Explanation:

From the passage, it can be deduced that the heartbeat detector senses the tiny vibrations caused by blood pumped from the heart.

The prisoner asked the guard, "How did you know I was here?"

The guard responded,

"The heartbeat detector,"

How do I solve this step by step? I’m really confused
LekaFEV [45]

Step-#1:

Ignore the wire on the right.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the left, 0.04m away, carrying 5.0A

of current upward.

Write it down.


Step #2:

Now, ignore the wire on the left.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the right, 0.04m away, carrying 8.0A

of current downward.

Write it down.


Step #3:

Take the two sets of magnitude and direction that you wrote down

and ADD them.


The total magnetic field at P is the SUM of (the field due to the left wire)

PLUS (the field due to the right wire).


So just calculate them separately, then addum up.

Calculated the measurement uncertainty for Kinetic Energy when :mass = 1.3[kg] +/- 0.4[kg]velocity= 5.2 [m/s] +/- 0.2 [m/s]KE= 1
andriy [413]

Answer:

\rm KE\pm \Delta KE = 17.6\pm 6.8\ J.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Mass, \rm m\pm\Delta m = 1.3\pm 0.4\ kg.
  • Velocity, \rm v\pm \Delta v = 5.2\pm 0.2\ m/s.

where,

\rm \Delta m,\ \Delta v are the uncertainties in mass and velocity respectively.

The kinetic energy is given by

\rm KE = \dfrac 12 mv^2 = \dfrac 12 \times 1.3\times 5.2^2=17.576\approx 17.6\ J.

The uncertainty in kinetic energy is given as:

\rm \dfrac{\Delta KE}{KE}=\dfrac{\Delta m}{m}+\dfrac{2\Delta v}{v}\\\dfrac{\Delta KE}{17.6}=\dfrac{0.4}{1.3}+\dfrac{2\times 0.2}{5.2}\\\dfrac{\Delta KE}{17.6}=0.384\\\Rightarrow \Delta KE = 17.6\times 0.384 = 6.7854\ J\approx6.8\ J\\\\Thus,\\\\KE\pm \Delta KE = 17.6\pm 6.8\ J.

True or False: Objects that have more mass also have more gravity.
Fantom [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The smaller object usually moves towards the larger object, because the larger object has more mass than the smaller object, so it has a larger gravitational pull.
