The human heart is a powerful and extremely reliable pump. Each day it takes in and discharges about 7500 L of blood. Assume tha

t the work done by the heart is equal to the work required to lift this amount of blood a height equal to that of the average American woman (1.63 m). The density (mass per unit volume) of blood is 1.05×103kg/m3. (a) How much work does the heart do in a day? (b) What is the heart’s power output in watts?

Answer:

(a) 1.257 x 10^5 J

(b) 1.456 Watt

Explanation:

Volume of blood, v = 7500 L = 7.5 m^3

Height, h = 1.63 m

density of blood, d = 1.05 x 10^3 kg/m^3

(a) work done = m x g x h

W = v x d x g x h = 7.5 x 1.05 x 1000 x 9.8 x 1.63 = 1.257 x 10^5 J

(b) time = 1 day = 24 x 60 x 60 s = 86400 seconds

Power = Work / time = 1.257 x 10^5 / 86400 = 1.456 Watt

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion betwee
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

Explanation:

A conservative force is defined as a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of motion.

This means that for a conservative force, it is possible to defined a potential energy function U which depends only on the position of the object. An example of conservative force is gravity: the gravitational potential energy of an object, in fact, depends only on its position in the field, not on the path taken.

This behaviour also implies that when an object moves from A to B and then back from B to A, the potential energy gained (or lost) moving from A to B is lost (or re-gained) when moving from B to A. This means that the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) of the object is conserved, and therefore there is a constant conversion between potential and kinetic energy during the motion.

A non-conservative force instead does not show this properties, as the work done by it depends on the path taken, and therefore it is not possible to define a potential energy function. An example of non-conservative force is friction.

According to what we wrote above, therefore, the only correct statements are:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

One of the largest barometers ever built was an oil-filled barometer constructed in Leicester, England in 1991. The oil had a he
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

Oil head = 12.2 m

h= 12.2 m

Pressure P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

Lets take density of the liquid =ρ

The pressure due to liquid P given as

P = ρ g h

Now by putting the all values in the above equation

1.013 x 10⁵ Pa = ρ x 10 x 12.2                 ( take g =10 m/s²)

ρ = 830.32 kg/m³

Therefore the density of oil is 830.32  kg/m³

For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is 28.0 cmcm long)
loris [4]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Two plane mirrors intersect at right angles. A laser beam strikes the first of them at a point 11.5 cm from their point of intersection, as shown in the figure.

For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is 28.0 cmcm long) after reflecting from the first mirror

Answer: angle of incidence is 39.4°

Explanation:

Given that;

two plain mirrors intersect at right angle (90°)

distance d = 11.5 cm

S = 28.0 cm

Now the angle that the reflection ray males with first the mirror equal theta  (∅)

so

tan∅ = (S/2) / d

tan∅ = (28/2) / 11.5

tan∅ = 14 / 11.5

tan∅ = 1.2173

∅ = tan⁻¹ (1.2173)

∅ = 50.6°

so angle of incidence = 90° - ∅

= 90° - 50.6°

= 39.4°

Therefore angle of incidence is 39.4°

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3
Pachacha [2.7K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Coulomb's law for the magnitude of the force F between two particles with charges Q and Q' separated by a distance d is

|FI = |QQ'I / d²

where K = 1/4π∈0, and

∈0 = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² C²/(N.m²) is the permittivity of free space.

Consider two point charges located on the x-axis:

one charge, q₁ = -18.5 nC, is located at

x₁ = -1.715m; the charge q₂ = 30.5 nC, is at the origin ( x₂=0 )

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q₃ = 51.0 nC placed between q₁ and q₂ at x₃ = -1.085 m ?

Answer: (Fnet3)x = -3.3287 × 10⁻⁵ N

Explanation:

Given that;

Q₁ = -18.5 nC       Q₃ = 51 nC        Q₂ = 30.5 nC

x₁ = - 1.715m         x₃ = - 1.085m     x₂ = 0

Now

x - component of Net force on charge Q₃ is

(Fnet3)x = -K|Q₁I|Q₃I / r₁3² - -K|Q₂I|Q₃I / r₂3²

(Fnet3)x = -(9×10⁹)(51×10⁻⁹) [ 18.5 / ((-1.085 + 1.715)²) + (30.5 / (-1.085)² ] × 10⁻⁹

(Fnet3)x = -3.3287 × 10⁻⁵ N
