Answer: A little more that 5 Kg for a healthy person

Explanation: First, we know the following:

The regular adult has from 9 to 12 pints of blood. This is around 5 liters for a healthy male adult.

The human body is composed mostly on water, around 80%.

Blood is mostly composed on plasma, which makes blood thicker than water.

Knowing that, almost all the body is compose of water, it is safe to think that blood density should be near to that of water but higher.

The density on water is a know value. Which makes the following true:

<em>1 Liter of Water weights 1 Kg</em>

<em />

It could be said then, that the total mass of blood for a healthy person should be a little more that 5 kgs.

How much heat will be needed to warm 187 grams of water from 10 0C to 90 0C?
kvv77 [185]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Here, you are looking for the amount of heat put in for water, at a mass of 187 grams, to change by 80 degrees.

The equation commonly accepted to find the answer to questions like these is the specific heat formula.

The equation is Q = mc∆T, where Q is the amount of energy put in to raise the temperature by a certain amount, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the amount of temperature change.

The information given:

m = 187 grams

c = specific heat capacity of water, or in this case 1 calorie, or 4.184 joules (which is what we will be using)

ΔT = 80 degrees

Now just plug everything in to solve.

Q = 187 * 4.184 * 80

Q = 62592.64

So you have your answer: 62592.64 joules.

Hope this helped!

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40  mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: 1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at \frac{2}{7}, this means that \frac{5}{7} of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if \frac{5}{7} of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it (speed=\frac{distance}{time}), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:

time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{280 miles}{35 mph}

time= 8 h

<u><em> The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.</em></u>

Describe the difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate and the velocity graph made at an increasing ra
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate means that its the same value in time, that means there's no slope on the graph, so its acceleration is 0

On the other hand, if the velocity is increasing with time, the slope of the graph becomes positive, which means that the acceleration of the particle is positive.
