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.

Trucks can be run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of 20

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The time it can operate between chargins in minutes is

$t=102.8 minutes$

Explanation:

Given: $m=500kg$ , $r=1.0m$ , $w=200\pi rad/s$

a). The rotational kinetic energy

$K_R=\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2$

$I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2$

$I=\frac{1}{2}*500kg*(1.0m)^2$

$I=250 kg*m^2$

$K_R=\frac{1}{2}*250kg*m^2*(200\pi rad/s)^2$

$K_R=49.348x10^6J$

b). The power average 0.8kW un range time can be find

$P=\frac{K_R}{t'}$

Solve to t'

$t=\frac{K_R}{P}$

$t=\frac{49.348x10^6}{0.8x10^3w}=6168.5s$

$t=6168.5s\frac{1minute}{60s}=102.8 minutes$

How much voltage is in the primary coil if there are 3200 windings in the

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Voltage in primary coil is 3.91 V

Explanation:

For transformer we know that the working principle is given as

$\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{N_1}{N_2}$

here we know that

$V_1 [tex] = voltage in primary coil[tex]V_2 = 25 V$

$N_1 = 500$

$N_2 = 3200$

Now we have

$\frac{V_1}{25} = \frac{500}{3200}$

$V_1 = 3.91 V$
