There is a limit to how long your neck can be. If your neck were too long, no blood would reach your brain! What is the maximum

height a person's brain could be above his heart, given the noted pressure and assuming that there are no valves or supplementary pumping mechanisms in the neck? The density of blood is 1060 kg/m3 .

Answer:

The maximum height a person's brain could be above his heart is: 1.28 meter.

Explanation:

We need to know what is the normal blood pressure ours hearts so there is a rate: 120/80 (mmHg) and the average will be: 100 (mmHg) and using the Pascal law that relate pressure, density, gravity and height like:P_{2} = pgh_{1} - pgh_{2} + P_{1}, where P is pressure, p is density, g is the gravity acceleration and h is the height. Now we can find the height and delta of pressure will be: P2-P1 = 100 (mmHg), knowing that 1(mmHg) is equal to 133 Pa, we can do the convertion to 13332.2 (Pa), now because the units of Pascal are Newton/(meter^2). Then we solve the formula to get the height: \frac{P2-P1}{pg} =h so we get:\frac{13332.2}{(1060*9,81)}=Height=1.28(meters).

Work is the amount of energy transferred

Explanation:

In physics, work is a measure of the energy transfer occurring in a process. Typically, we talk about work when energy is converted from one form into another.

For instance, work is done when a force is applied on an object. The work done on the object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

We notice the following:

  • No work is done when the force is perpendicular to the displacement (cos 90^{\circ}=0)
  • The work is maximum when the force is parallel to the displacement

Whenever work is done, there is also an energy transfer taking place. For instance, in the previous example, when the force is applied to the object, the object will accelerate (assume there is no friction), and will gain kinetic energy: therefore, there is a transfer of energy to the object.

If there are two photons with different energies, the one that has a higher energy (a) has the higher frequency (b) has the high
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(a) has the highest frequency

Explanation:

E = hf...where E(is the energy of a photon);h(is the planck's constant) and f is the frequency of the photon

Whereby this formula shows us that energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency

So hence if the energy is high then the frequency of the photon is also high
