Answer:

The time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete cycle

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to make one complete oscillation, which means the time it takes for the pendulum to come back to its original position (so, one left swing+one right swing).

The period of a pendulum is given by the formula

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity. As we can see from the equation, the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass attached to the pendulum, but only on its length and on the strength of the gravitational field.

Jeff's body contains about 5.46 L of blood that has a density of 1060 kg/m3. Approximately 45.0% (by mass) of the blood is cells

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The mass of blood is $m= 5.7876kg$

The number of blood cells is $N_t=1.04*10^{13}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The volume of blood is $V_b = 5.46 \ L = \frac{5.46}{1000} = 0.00546m^3$

The density of the blood is $\rho_b = 1060 kg/m^3$

% of blood that is cell is = 45.0%

% of the blood that is plasma is = 55.0%

density of blood cell is $\rho_d = 1125kg/m^3$

% of cell that are white is = 1%

% of cell that is red is = 99%

The diameter of the red blood cell is = $7.5 \mu m = 7.5*10^{-6}m$

The radius of the red blood cell is $= \frac{7.5*10^{-6}}{2} = 3.75*10^{-6}m$

Generally the mass is mathematically represented as

$m = \rho_b * V_b$

Substituting value

$m = 1060 * 0.00546$

$m= 5.7876kg$

Mass of cell is $m_c$ = 45% of m

= 0.45 * 5,7876

= 2.60442 kg

The volume of cells is $V_c$ = $\frac{m_c}{\rho_d}$

$= \frac{2.60442}{1125}$

$= 2.315 *10^{-3} m^3$

The volume of white blood cell is $V_w$ = 1% of volume of cells

$= \frac{1}{100} * 2.315*10^{-3}$

$= 2.315*10^{-5}m^3$

The volume of a single cell is $V_s = 4 \pi r^3$

$= 4*(3.142) * (3.75*10^{-6})^3$

$= 2.21*10^{-16}m^3$

The volume of red blood cells is $V_r = V_c - V_w$

$=2.315*10^{-3} - 2.315*10^{-5}$

$= 2.29*10^{-3}m^3$

The number of red blood cell is $= \frac{V_r}{V_s}$

$= \frac{2.29 *10^{-3}}{2.21*10^{-16}}$

$= 1.037*10^{13}$

The Number of white blood cell is $=\frac{V_w}{V_s}$

$= \frac{2.315 * 10^{-5}}{2.21*10^{-16}}$

$= 1.04*10^{11}$

The total number of blood cells is $N_t= 1.037*10^{13} + 1.04*10^{11}$

$N_t=1.04*10^{13}$

1. Why should you use scientific notation when writing big numbers?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

It helps the answer look clean. It also makes the work easier to work with.

Explanation:

Instead of writing a lot of zeros, all you have to do is add exponents to the number to show how much the decimal moved.

A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

$7.1$ ms⁻¹

Explanation:

$d$ = diameter of merry-go-round = 4 m

$r$ = radius of merry-go-round = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{4}{2}$ = 2 m

$I$ = moment of inertia = 500 kgm²

$w_{i}$ = angular velocity of merry-go-round before ryan jumps = 2.0 rad/s

$w_{f}$ = angular velocity of merry-go-round after ryan jumps = 0 rad/s

$v$ = velocity of ryan before jumping onto the merry-go-round

$m$ = mass of ryan = 70 kg

Using conservation of angular momentum

$Iw_{i} - m v r = (I + mr^{2})w_{f}$

$(500)(2.0) - (70) v (2) = (I + mr^{2})(0)$

$1000 = 140 v$

$v = 7.1$ ms⁻¹
