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

What is its maximum altitude above the ground? The answer is the maximum height above the ground
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Hope this Helps!!!

A 1050 W carbon-dioxide laser emits light with a wavelength of 10μm into a 3.0-mm-diameter laser beam. What force does the laser
avanturin [10]

The force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N.

The given parameters;

  • <em>power of the laser light, P = 1050 W</em>
  • <em>wavelength of the emitted light, λ = 10 μm </em>

The speed of the emitted laser light is given as;

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

F = \frac{P}{v} \\\\F = \frac{1050}{3\times 10^8} \\\\F = 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N

Thus, the force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N.

Energy that is passed on from one trophic level to the next is called what?
yan [13]
Energy decreases as it moves uptrophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels.

A bobsledder pushes her sled across horizontal snow to get it going, then jumps in. After she jumps in, the sled gradually slows
anastassius [24]

Answer:

In the vertical direction the acting forces are the normal force and the weight of the bobsleder plus the sled. In the horizontal direction the acting force is the friciton force.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphic representation of the forces acting on the sled after the bobsleder jumped in.

In the vertical direction, the acting forces are the normal force (N) and the weight of the sled plus the bobsledder (W).

Since the sled is not being accelerated in the vertical direction, the sum of forces in that direction is zero:

∑Fy = W + N = 0 ⇒ W = N

The weight is calculated as follows:

W = (mb + ms) · g

Where:

mb = mass of the bobsleder.

ms = mass of the sled.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

In the horizontal direction the only acting force is the friction force (Fr). The friction force is calculated a follows:

Fr = N · μ

Where:

N = normal force.

μ = kinetic friction coefficient.

Since N = W = (mb + ms) · g

Fr = (mb + ms) · g · μ

If we want to find the acceleration of the sled after the bobsleder jumps in, we can apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m · a

Where "a" is the acceleration and "m" is the mass of the object (in this case, the mass of bobsleder plus the mass of the sled).

∑F = Fr =  (mb + ms) · g · μ =  (mb + ms) · a

(mb + ms) · g · μ =  (mb + ms) · a

Solving for "a":

g · μ = a

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.400mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed
kogti [31]

Answer:

a)y_{first}=5.3mm

b)y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm  

Explanation:

a)

The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a} when m is a natural number.

here:

  • m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)                
  • D is the distance from the slit to the screen
  • a is the slit wide
  • λ is the wavelength

So we have:

y_{first}=\frac{633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{first}=5.3mm

b)

Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

y_{2}=\frac{2*633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{2}=10.6 mm

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :

y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm    

I hope it heps you!
