If the blood pressure in your brain is 120 mm when you are lying down, what would it be when you stand up? Assume that your brai

n is 40 cm from your heart and that rho = 1060 kg/m3 for your blood. Note: Normally, your blood vessels constrict and expand to keep your brain blood pressure stable when you change your posture.

Answer:

The correct answer is 88.84 mmHg.

Explanation:

The pressure differential between the brain and the heart while standing up will be 120 - rho × g (gravity) × h, here h is the distance from the brain to the heart. The h is 40 cm or 0.4 m.  

rho×g×h = 1060 kg/m³×9.8 m/s²×0.4m  

= 4155 Pa  

Now converting Pa to mmHg we get:  

4155 Pa × 760 mmHg / 1.01325 × 10⁵ Pa  

= 31.16 mmHg  

Thus, the pressure in the brain now is 120 - 31.16  

= 88.84 mmHg (hypotension)

Answer:

It forms from sandstone that has come into contact with deeply buried magmas. Quartzite looks similar to its parent rock. The best way to tell quartzite from sandstone is to break the rocks. Sandstone will shatter into many individual grains of sand while quartzite will break across the grains.

Which effect does deforestation have on the carbon cycle?
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Deforestation facilitates one part of the carbon cycle, increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere. It also prevents forests from absorbing any further carbon by destroying the trees. It, therefore, inhibits this aspect of the cycle and leads to increased levels of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
