There is less oxygen in air at higher altitudes than at sea level. Scientists have shown that people living at sea level have 5

million red blood cells per mm3 of blood whereas people living at high altitude have 7 million red blood cells per mm3 of blood. Suggest a reason for this difference

Answer with Explanation:

"Red Blood Cells" <em>(RBCs)</em> contain <em>Hemoglobin</em> that is responsible for carrying oxygen into the body. When people are exposed to higher altitudes, <u>the number RBCs in the body increases</u>. This is because the body has a hard time taking in oxygen due to <u>low atmospheric pressure</u>. It makes it hard for oxygen to pass through the lung membranes. This is called "hypoxia." Such condition deprives the body from oxygen, thus, it creates more red blood cells in order to compensate the condition.

When it comes to people living at sea level,<em> the oxygen can easily pass through the lung membranes</em> due to <u>higher atmospheric pressure.</u> This doesn't require the body to build new RBCs. Therefore, the numbers of RBCs needed by people to thrive is lower than living at higher altitudes.

What is the lowest frequency that will resonate in an organ pipe 2.00 m in length, closed at one end? The speed of sound in air
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

42.5 Hz.

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as

f₀ = v/4l....................... Equation 1

Where f₀ = lowest frequency, v = speed of sound in air, l = length of the organ pipe

Given: v = 340 m/s, l = 2.00 m.

Substitute into equation 1

f₀ = 340/(4×2)

f₀ = 340/8

f₀ = 42.5 Hz.

Hence the smallest frequency that will resonant in the organ pipe = 42.5 Hz.

A string is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass M = 1.2 kg and radius R = 0.07 m. (Recall that the moment of inertia of a unif
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of disk = 1.2 kg

Radius = 0.07 m

Radius of rod = 0.11 m

Mass of small disk = 0.5 kg

Force = 29 N

Time t = 0.022 s

\theta=0.023\ m

Distance d= 0.039 m

(I). We need to calculate the speed of the apparatus

Using work energy theorem

W=\Delta K.E

Fd=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2Fd}{M+4m}}

Where, m = total mass

v = velocity

F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times29\times0.039}{1.2+4\times0.5}}

v=0.840\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the angular speed of the apparatus

Using formula of torque

\tau=I\alpha

F\times=(\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2+4mb^2)\alpha

29\times0.07=(\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.2\times0.07^2+4\times0.5\times0.11^2)\alpha

\alpha=\dfrac{29\times0.07}{0.02714}

\alpha=74.79\ rad/s^2

We need to calculate the angular speed of the apparatus

Using equation of angular motion

\omega=\omega_{0}+\alpha t

Put the value into the formula

\omega=0+74.79\times0.022

\omega=1.645\ rad/s

(c).  We need to calculate the angular speed of the apparatus

Using equation of angular motion

\omega_{0}^2=\omega^2+2\alpha t

Put the value into the formula

\omega_{0}^2=1.645^2+2\times74.79\times0.022

\omega=2.44\ rad/s

Hence, This is required equation.

The start-up procedure for a batch reactor includes a heating step where the reactor temperature is gradually heated to the nomi
qwelly [4]
Solution: 
f ( t )= 20 S ( t ) + 55/30 tS ( t )− 55/30 ( t − 30 ) S ( t − 30 ) 
• Taking the Laplace Transform: 
F ( s ) = 20/s + 55/30 ( 1/s^2 ) – 55/30 ( 1/s^2) e^-30s = 20/s + 55/30 ( 1/s^2 ) ( 1 – e^-30s)
