During each heartbeat, about 80 g of blood is pumped into the aorta inapproximately 0.2 s. During this time, the blood is accele

taurus [48]

Answer:

Work is done by the heart on the blood during this time is 0.04 J

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of blood pumped, m = 80 g = 0.08 kg

Initial speed of the blood, u = 0 m/s

Final speed of the blood, v = 1 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of blood is determine by the relation:

$E_{1}=\frac{1}{2} m u^{2}$

Final kinetic energy of blood is determine by the relation:

$E_{2}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Applying work-energy theorem,

Work done = Change in kinetic energy

W = E₂ - E₁

$W=\frac{1}{2} m (v^{2}-u^{2})$

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

$W=\frac{1}{2}\times0.08\times (1^{2}-0^{2})$

W = 0.04 J

A particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a ra

blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

$y=\sqrt{1+x^3}$

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Now at (2,3)

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s$

Calculate the average speed in metres per second from Glasgow to Edinburgh

mariarad [96]

This is the same question as the one previously but with more details, so I will just use my previous answer.

1800 to 1820 is 20 minutes.1830 to 1838 is 8 minutes.1840 to 1905 is 25 minutes.
The total time travelled is 20+8+25 = 53 minutes = 3180 seconds.
The distance between Glasgow and Edinburgh is 28 + 12 + 34 = 74 km = 74000 m.

So, the average speed is 74000m/3180s = 23.27 m/s (4 s.f.)
