Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud = 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density = If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

ANSWER ASAP!!!If a wave machine produces 10 waves in 2 seconds, what is the frequency of the machine in Hertz?

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

5Hz

Explanation:

Frequency = No. of waves per second

10 waves are produced in 2 seconds

in one second 10/2 waves are produced

(ie) 5 waves are produced in 1 second

Therefore the frequency of wave is 5 Hz

A car is moving 5.82M/S when it accelerates at 2.35M/S^2for 3.25S. What is its final velocity?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

vf=vi+at

vi=5.82 m/s

a=2.35 m/s2

t=3.25 s

vf=5.82+2.35*3.25

vf=5.82+7.64

vf=13.46

You have about 10 quarts of blood in your body. At REST your heart pumps about 5 quarts each minutes. That is half of your blood

Zina [86]

Answer:

8 times

Explanation:

Given that You have about 10 quarts of blood in your body. At REST your heart pumps about 5 quarts each minutes.

That means the heart will pump 10 quarts in 2 minutes.

That is half of your blood volume per minute.

If during exercise it can pump 40 quarts per minute, that is, 80 quarts in 2 minutes.

To know how many times does all of your blood complete the cycle around your body during exercise, you must divide 80 quarts by 10 quarts. That is,

80 / 10 = 8

Therefore, your blood complete the cycle around your body 8 times during the exercise.

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

$W = mgh$

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

$h = 14.1 sin7.3 km$

here we have

$h = 1.79 km$

now from above equation

$W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)$

$W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J$

so work done will be given by above value

A solid disk has a mass of 162 kg and a radius of 1.30m. This

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

754.3 m

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the solid disk:

$I = mR^2/2$

Where m is the disk mass and R is the radius of the disk.

$I = 162*1.3^2/2 = 136.89 kgm^2$

The angular kinetic energy of the disk is then:

$E_k = I\omega^2/2 = 136.89 * 18^2/2 = 22176.18 J$

By law of energy conservation, this energy is converted to potential energy to pick up the 3kg block

let g = 9.8 m/s2

$E_p = m_bgh = 22176.18 J$

where $m_b$ = 3 kg is the mass of block

$3*9.8h = 22176.18$

$h = \frac{22176.18}{3*9.8} = 754.3 m$
