I believe because there is much less air and much more water in the bottom

The pressure is greater at the bottom because of all the fluid on top. It is like going to the bottom of the deep end in a swimming pool. Hope this helps.

a ultrasonic wave at 8x10^4 Hz is emitted into a vien where the speed of sound in blood is 1570 m/s. the wave reflects off the r

Aneli [31]

Answer: 0.392 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler shift equation is:

$f'=\frac{V+V_{o}}{V-V_{s}} f$

Where:

$f=8(10)^{4} Hz$ is the actual frequency of the sound wave

$f'=8.002(10)^{4} Hz$ is the "observed" frequency

$V=1570 m/s$ is the speed of sound

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the velocity of the observer, which is stationary

$V_{s}$ is the velocity of the source, which are the red blood cells

Isolating $V_{s}$ :

$V_{s}=\frac{V(f'-f)}{f'}$

$V_{s}=\frac{1570 m/s(8.002(10)^{4} Hz-8(10)^{4} Hz)}{8.002(10)^{4} Hz}$

Finally:

$V_{s}=0.392 m/s$

A 62.00 kg person in a 33.00 kg cart is coasting with a speed of 15 m/s before it goes up a hill.

frozen [14]

Answer:

11.47 m high

Explanation:

All of the Kinetic Energy converts to Potential energy

1/2 m v^2 = mgh divide both sides by 'm'

1/2 v^2 = gh (note that the masses given are irrelevant !)

(1/2 v^2) / g = h

(1/2 (15^2) / 9.81 = h = 11.47 m

A 4.2-g bullet is fired at a speed of 370 m/s into a stationary lead block, which moves a distance of 1.2 m before coming to res

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

(a) F = 239.575 N (b) t = 0.00649s or 6.49 ms

Explanation:

(a) By law of energy conservation, the bullet kinetic energy will be transferred to work done on stopping it from moving.

Formula for Kinetic Energy $E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2}$ where m is bullet mass, v is the velocity

Formula for work $W = FS$ where F is the average force and S is the distance travelled.

$E_k = W$

$\frac{mv^2}{2} = FS$

$F = \frac{mv^2}{2S}$

Substitute m = 4.2 g = 0.0042 kg, v = 370 m/s and S = 1.2 (m)

$F = \frac{0.0042*370^2}{2*1.2} = 239.575 N$

(b) If the force is constant, since the mass is constant and F = ma according to Newton's 2nd law, the acceleration on bullet is also constant

$a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{239.575}{0.0042} = 57041.67 (m/s^2)$

We also have $v(t) = v_0 + at$

At the time the bullet is coming to rest, $v(t) = 0, a = -57041.67 m/s^2$

Therefore, $0 = 370 - 57041.67t$

$t = \frac{370}{57041.67} = 0.00649 s = 6.49 ms$

Two insulated wires, each 2.64 m long, are taped together to form a two-wire unit that is 2.64 m long. One wire carries a curren

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

$4.77\ \text{A}$

Explanation:

F = Magnetic force = 4.11 N

$I_n$ = Net current

$I_2$ = Current in one of the wires = 7.68 A

B = Magnetic field = 0.59 T

$\theta$ = Angle between current and magnetic field = $65^{\circ}$

$l$ = Length of wires = 2.64 m

$I$ = Current in the other wire

Magnetic force is given by

$F=I_nlB\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow I_n=\dfrac{F}{lB\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow I_n=\dfrac{4.11}{2.64\times 0.59 \sin65^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow I_n=2.91\ \text{A}$

Net current is given by

$I_n=I_2-I\\\Rightarrow I=I_2-I_n\\\Rightarrow I=7.68-2.91\\\Rightarrow I=4.77\ \text{A}$

The current I is $4.77\ \text{A}$ .

The environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment.<br><br><br>TRUE OR FALSE

Drupady [299]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The statement that the environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment is incorrect. It should be noted that people also affect the environment.

Some of our impact on the environment include pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, burning of fossil fuels etc. Thus has resulted in changes such as erosion, climate change, etc.
