Which statement best describes the overall function of the human respiratory system? A. The heart pumps blood containing carbon

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Explanation:

During respiration, oxygen diffuses into the lung (carbon dioxide diffuses out), gets into the blood, and is transported around the body. The hemoglobin of the blood distributes the oxygen to the various cells and carbon dioxide from these cells diffuses into the blood. The blood travels back to the lung where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen once again. The carbon dioxide is eventually exhaled out of the nose.

The correct option is C.

3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a

34kurt

Answer:

The friction force and the x component for the weight should be the reaction forces that are opposite and equal to the action force, which causes the locomotive to move up the hill if the velocity of the locomotive remains constant.

Explanation:

When the locomotive starts to pull the train up, appears two reaction forces opposed to the action force in the direction of the move.

The first one is due to the friction between the wheels and the ground, it will be the friction force (Fr):

Fr = μ*Pₓ =μmg*sin(φ)

where μ: friction dynamic coefficient, Pₓ: is the weight component in the x-axis, m: total mass = train's mass + locomotive's mass, g: gravity, and sin(φ): is the angle respect to the x-axis.

And the second one is the x component for the weight (Wₓ):

Wₓ = mg*cos(φ)

where cos(φ): is the angle respect to the y-axis.

These two forces should be the same as the action force, which causes the locomotive to move up the hill if the velocity of the locomotive remains constant.

In a carnival ride, passengers stand with their backs against the wall of a cylinder. The cylinder is set into rotation and the

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Minimum speed will be equal to 2.213 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given radius of the r = 2 m

Coefficient of friction $\mu =0.25$

At minimum speed frictional force will be equal to centripetal force

So $\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$\frac{v^2}{r}=\mu g$

$v=\sqrt{\mu rg}=\sqrt{0.25\times 2\times 9.8}=2.213m/sec$

So the minimum speed will be equal to 2.213 m/sec

A 5.50-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\$

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k = 17.71N/m$

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m
