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

list the steps involved in using nuclear fission to generate electricity. begin with the role of the fuel rods
adoni [48]
When an atom of nuclear<span> fuel (uranium) absorbs a neutron, the uranium will </span>fission into two smaller atoms (waste) and release one to three neutrons. The kinetic energy of the waste is used to heat the water for the steam turbine. The neutrons are used to fission<span> the next lot of uranium atoms and the process continues.</span>

Why is gymnastics often considered to be the purest of all sports or athletic activities
Pachacha [2.7K]
To my knowledge, it isn't.

But I can provide reasons to defend this statement, including how gymnastics provides many benefits to our physical and mental health. It aids us in flexibility, coordination, discipline, and more. It keeps us socially healthy and capable with teams, friends, and competitions.

PLZZZZZZZZZ HELPPPPP. BRAINLEST GIVEN What is a force of attraction between an object and the earth due to gravity?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

acceleration due to gravity: -9.8 m/s^2

Fg=mass of object*(-9.8)

Explanation:

This is a pretty vague question, but I'll answer as best I can.

All matter has gravity. YOU have gravity, although your gravitational pull is small. So, the force of attraction between the Earth and an object on Earth is modeled as

Force of gravity=(Gravitational constant*mass of object 1*mass of object  2)/distance between objects squared

Note that distance between an object on Earth and Earth is the radius of Earth (distance to Earth's core/center of mass)
