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,"

the acceleration of a rocket traveling upward is given by a=(6+.02s)m/s^s, where s is in meters. Determine the rocket's velocity
NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) velocity v = 322.5m/s

b) time t = 19.27s

Explanation:

Note that;

ads = vdv

where

a is acceleration

s is distance

v is velocity

Given;

a = 6 + 0.02s

so,

\int\limits^s_0 {a} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ \int\limits^s_0 {6+0.02s} \, ds  = \int\limits^v_0 {v} \, dv\\ 6s + \frac{0.02s^{2} }{2} = \frac{1}{2} v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{12s + 0.02s^{2} } .....................1 \\\\\\

Remember that

v = \frac{ds}{dt} \\\frac{ds}{v} = dt\\\int\limits^s_0 {\frac{ds}{\sqrt{12s+0.02s^{2} } } } \, ds = \int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt \\t=  (5\sqrt{2} ) ln  \frac{| [s + 300 + \sqrt{(s^{2}  + 600s)} ] |}{300} .......2

substituting s = 2km =2000m, into equation 1

v = 322.5m/s

substituting s = 2000m into equation 2

t = 19.27s

What elements are good conductors of electricity?
kramer
In solids: All metals are good conductors of electricity as they contain free moving electrons. Non-metals doesn't conduct , but we consider Graphite the only non-metal that can conduct electricity for the presence of free moving electrons.

In Liquids ; Ionic compunds contains free moving ions , so they conduct electricity as well .

If transpiration didn't take place, would water be able to enter the roots of the plant? Explain your reasoning
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

If transpiration didn't take place water would still be able to enter the roots of a plant

Explanation:

transpiration is the process of water leaving from living organisms to the atmosphere, therefore, if transpiration didn't occur the water would not transpire to the atmosphere and would remain in the root but water absorption would not change because it is a biological need for the living organism as such

For the potential , determine the number of bound states?A)6 b)4 c) 3 d) 1
s2008m [1.1K]

Do you see that blank, open space after the word "potential ..." ?

There's supposed to be a number there that actually tells us the value of the potential.  Without that number ... and a lot more description of the whole scenario here ... there's no possible answer to the question.
