During each heartbeat, about 80 g of blood is pumped into the aorta inapproximately 0.2 s. During this time, the blood is accele

taurus [48]

Answer:

Work is done by the heart on the blood during this time is 0.04 J

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of blood pumped, m = 80 g = 0.08 kg

Initial speed of the blood, u = 0 m/s

Final speed of the blood, v = 1 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of blood is determine by the relation:

$E_{1}=\frac{1}{2} m u^{2}$

Final kinetic energy of blood is determine by the relation:

$E_{2}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Applying work-energy theorem,

Work done = Change in kinetic energy

W = E₂ - E₁

$W=\frac{1}{2} m (v^{2}-u^{2})$

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

$W=\frac{1}{2}\times0.08\times (1^{2}-0^{2})$

W = 0.04 J

A heavy meterstick has a mass of 1 kg. When the meterstick is thrown like a spear past you, you measure its momentum to be 2mv.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Its length is measured to be 0.5 m

Explanation:

From theory of relativity (mass variation), we know that:

m = mo/√(1-v²/c²)

Where, m = relative mass

and, mo = rest mass

The momentum of stick while moving, will be:

P = mv

but, it is given in the form of rest mass as:

P = 2(mo)v

thus, by comparison;

2(mo)v = mv

using value of m from theory of relativity;

2(mo)v = (mo)v/√(1-v²/c²)

√(1-v²/c²) = 1/2 ______ eqn(1)

Now, for relativistic length (L), we have the formula from same theory of relativity;

L = (Lo)√(1-v²/c²)

The rest length (Lo) of meter stick is 1 m, and the remaining term on right side √(1-v²/c²), known as Lorentz Factor, can be given by eqn (1), as equal to 1/2.

Thus,

L = (1 m)(1/2)

L = 0.5 m

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

$Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}$
