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 $1.8 * 10^4\ Pa$

Two liquids, A and B, have equal masses and equal initial temperatures. Each is heated for the same length of time over identica

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

Explanation:

Liquid A is hotter than the liquid B after both the liquids are heated identically for the same duration of time from the same initial temperature then according to heat equation,

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$

where:

m = mass of the body

c = specific heat of the body

$\Delta T=$ change in temperature of the body

The identical heat source supplies the heat for the same amount of time then the quantity of heat supplied is also equal.

So for constant heat, constant mass the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific of heat of the liquid.

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m} \times \frac{1}{c}$

$\Delta T\propto\frac{1}{c}$

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

A proton accelerates from rest in a uniform electric field of 610 N/C. At some later time, its speed is 1.4 106 m/s.(a) Find the

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

a) 5.851× 10¹⁰m/s²

b) 2.411×10⁻¹¹s

c) 1.70×10⁻¹¹m

d) 1.661×10⁻²⁷KJ

Explanation:

A proton in the field experience a downward force of magnitude,

F = eE. The force of gravity on the proton will be negligible compared to the electric force

F = eE

a= eE/m

= 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ × 610/1.67×10⁻²⁷

= 5.851× 10¹⁰m/s²

V = u + at

u= 0

v= 1.4106m/s

v= (0)t + at

t= v/a

= 1.4106m/s/5.851 ×10¹⁰

= 2.411×10⁻¹¹s

S = ut + at²

= (o)t + 5.851×10¹⁰×(2.411×10⁻¹¹)²

= 1.70×10⁻¹¹m

Ke = 1/2mv²

= (1.67×10⁻²⁷×)(1.4106)²/2

= 1.661×10⁻²⁷KJ

Which formulas have been correctly rearranged to solve for radius? Check all that apply. r = GM central/v^2 r =fcm/v^2 r =ac/v^2

jek_recluse [69]

The orbital radius is: $r=\frac{GM}{v^2}$

Explanation:

The problem is asking to find the radius of the orbit of a satellite around a planet, given the orbital speed of the satellite.

For a satellite in orbit around a planet, the gravitational force provides the required centripetal force to keep it in circular motion, therefore we can write:

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$
