For tests using a ballistocardiograph, a patient lies on ahorizontal platform that is supported on jets of air. Because ofthe ai

r jets, the friction impeding the horizontal motion of theplatform is negligible. Each time the heart beats, blood is pushedout of the heart in a direction that is nearly parallel to theplatform. Since momentum must be conserved, the body and theplatform recoil, and this recoil can be detected to provideinformation about the heart. For each beat, suppose that 0.050 kgof blood is pushed out of the heart with a velocity of +0.30 m/s and thatthe mass of the patient and the platform is 85 kg. Assuming that the patient does not slipwith respect to the platform, and that the patient and the platformstart from rest, determine the recoil velocity.

Answer:

   v ’= - 1.76 10⁻⁴ m / s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using momentum conservation. Defined a system formed by the patient, his blood and the platform in such a way that the forces are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instnate. Before pumping

        p₀ = 0

final instant. Right after the heart pumping

        p_f = m v + M v'

where m is the mass of blood and M the mass of the patient + the platform

       p₀ = p_f

       0 = m v + M v’

       v ’=  - \frac{m}{M} \ v

let's calculate

       v ’= - \frac{0.050}{85}  0.30

       v ’= - 1.76 10⁻⁴ m / s

1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?
Tems11 [23]
Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.

Stairway must have uniform riser height and tread depth; variations in riser height or tread depth shall not be over _______ inc
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

\frac{3}{8} inches

Explanation:

the variations in riser height or tread depth should not be grater than \frac{3}{8} inches that is equal to 9.5 mm but the maximum riser height should be the  \frac{81}{4} inch  but variation in riser height should not exceed to \frac{3}{8} inches. The minimum riser height should be 7 inches which is equal to the 178 mm

A 0.80-μm-diameter oil droplet is observed between two parallel electrodes spaced 11 mm apart. The droplet hangs motionless if t
Arisa [49]

A) 2.4\cdot 10^{-16}kg

The radius of the oil droplet is half of its diameter:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.80 \mu m}{2}=0.40 \mu m = 0.4\cdot 10^{-6}m

Assuming the droplet is spherical, its volume is given by

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (0.4\cdot 10^{-6} m)^3=2.68\cdot 10^{-19} m^3

The density of the droplet is

\rho=885 kg/m^3

Therefore, the mass of the droplet is equal to the product between volume and density:

m=\rho V=(885 kg/m^3)(2.68\cdot 10^{-19} m^3)=2.4\cdot 10^{-16}kg

B) 1.5\cdot 10^{-18}C

The potential difference across the electrodes is

V=17.8 V

and the distance between the plates is

d=11 mm=0.011 m

So the electric field between the electrodes is

E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{17.8 V}{0.011 m}=1618.2 V/m

The droplet hangs motionless between the electrodes if the electric force on it is equal to the weight of the droplet:

qE=mg

So, from this equation, we can find the charge of the droplet:

q=\frac{mg}{E}=\frac{(2.4\cdot 10^{-16}kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}{1618.2 V/m}=1.5\cdot 10^{-18}C

C) Surplus of 9 electrons

The droplet is hanging near the upper electrode, which is positive: since unlike charges attract each other, the droplet must be negatively charged. So the real charge on the droplet is

q=-1.5\cdot 10^{-18}C

we can think this charge has made of N excess electrons, so the net charge is given by

q=Ne

where

e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the charge of each electron

Re-arranging the equation for N, we find:

N=\frac{q}{e}=\frac{-1.5\cdot 10^{-18}C}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C}=9.4 \sim 9

so, a surplus of 9 electrons.
