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

Capacitance = k x ε° x area / separation

average k = 0.78 / 1.27 * 2.4 +(1.27- 0.78) / 1.27 * 1 = 1.474 + 0.386 = 1.86 
(61.4 % separation k = 2.4 --- 38.6 % k = 1 air --- average k = 0.614 * 2.34 + 0.386 * 1 = 1.86 
area = 145 cm2 = 0.0145 m2

C = 1.86 * 8.854 10^-12 * 0.0145 / 0.0127 = 18.8 pF

A clay ball with a mass of 0.48kg has an initial speed of 4.08m/s it strikes a 3.04kg clay ball at rest and the two balls stick
Rom4ik [11]
Final velocity = 0, thus final kinetic energy is 0
Initial kinetic energy:
0.5mv²
= 0.5 x 0.48 x 4.08²
= 4.0 J
Decrease in kinetic energy = 4 - 0 = 4 Joules

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10 km race in a time of 27 min, 43.6 s. Suppose "Pre" was at the 8.13 km mark at a
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:0.084 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Total time=27 min 43.6 s=1663.6 s

total distance=10 km

Initial distance d_1=8.13 km

time taken=25 min =1500 s

initial speed v_1=\frac{8.13\times 1000}{25\times 60}=5.6 m/s

after 8.13 km mark steve started to accelerate

speed after 60 s

v_2=v_1+at

v_2=5.6+a\times 60

distance traveled in 60 sec

d_2=v_1\times 60+\frac{a60^2}{2}

d_2=336+1800 a

time taken in last part of journey

t_3=1663.6-1560=103.6 s

distance traveled in this time

d_3=v_2\times t_3

d_3=\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6

and total distance=d_1+d_2+d_3

10000=8.13\times 1000+336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6

1870=336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6

a=0.084 m/s^2
