Answer:

i) 3.514 s, ii) 5.692 m/s

Explanation:

i) We can use Newton's second law of motion to find out how long does it take for the Eagle to touch down.

as the equation says for free-falling

h = ut +0.5gt^2

Here, h = 10 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 1.62 m/s^2( on moon surface)

initial velocity u = 0

10 = 0.5×1.62t^2

t = 3.514 seconds

Therefore, it takes t = 3.514 seconds for the Eagle to touch down.

ii) use Newton's 1st equation of motion to calculate the velocity of the lunar module when it hits the surface of the moon

v = u + gt

v = 0+ 1.62×3.514

v= 5.692 m/s

The hour, minute, and second hands on a clock are 0.25 m , 0.31 m , and 0.34 m long, respectively.
sp2606 [1]

In 1 hour, the hour hand sweeps across 1/12 of the clock's face. In 40 min, the hour hand travels (40 min)/(60 min) = 2/3 of the path it covers in an hour, so a total of 1/12 × 2/3 = 1/18 of the clock's face. This hand traces out a circle with radius 0.25 m, so in 40 min its tip traces out 1/18 of this circle's radius, or

1/18 × 2<em>π</em> (0.25 m) ≈ 0.087 m

The minute hand traverses (40 min)/(60 min) = 2/3 of the clock's face, so it traces out 2/3 of the circumference of a circle with radius 0.31 m:

2/3 × 2<em>π</em> (0.31 m) ≈ 1.3 m

The second hand completes 1 revolution each minute, so in 40 min it would fully trace the circumference of a circle with radius 0.34 m a total of 40 times, so it covers a distance of

40 × 2<em>π</em> (0.34 m) ≈ 85 m

Calculate the difference in blood pressure between the feet and top of the head for a person who is 1.70 m tall.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

P_2 - P_1 = 1.8 * 10^4\ Pa

Explanation:

Given

Height (h) = 1.70m

Required

Determine the difference in the blood pressure from feet to top

This is calculated using Pascal's second law.

The second law is represented as:

P_2 = P_1 + pgd

Subtract P1 from both sides

P_2 - P_1 = pgd

Where

p = blood\ density = 1.06 * 10^3kg/m^3

g = acceleration\ of\ gravity = 9.8N/kg

d =height = 1.70m

P2 - P1 = Blood Pressure Difference

So, the expression becomes:

P_2 - P_1 = 1.06 * 10^3 * 9.8 * 1.70

P_2 - P_1 = 17659.6Pa

P_2 - P_1 = 1.8 * 10^4\ Pa

Hence, the difference in blood pressure is approximately 1.8 * 10^4\ Pa
