- Review, (a) H it has enough kinetic energy, a molecule at the surface of the Earth can escape the Earths gravitation in the sense that it can continue to move away from the Earth forever as discussed in Section 13.6. Using the principle of conservation of energy, show that the minimum kinetic energy needed for escape is m0gRE where m0 is the mass of the molecule, g is the free-fall acceleration at the surface, and RE is the radius of the Earth, (b) Calculate the temperature for which the minimum escape kinetic energy is ten times the average kinetic energy of an oxygen molecule.arrow_forwardWhen the U.S. submarineSqualus became disabled at a depth of 80 m, a cylindrical chamberwas lowered from a ship to rescue the crew. The chamberhad a radius of 1.00 m and a height of 4.00 m, was open at thebottom, and held two rescuers. It slid along a guide cable that adiver had attached to a hatch on the submarine. Once the chamberreached the hatch and clamped to the hull, the crew could escapeinto the chamber. During the descent, air was released fromtanks to prevent water from flooding the chamber. Assume thatthe interior air pressure matched the water pressure at depth has given by p0 +rgh, where p0=1.000 atm is the surface pressureand r=1024 kg/m3 is the density of seawater. Assume a surfacetemperature of 20.0C and a submerged water temperatureof -30.0C. (a)What is the air volume in the chamber at the surface?(b) If air had not been released from the tanks, what wouldhave been the air volume in the chamber at depth h=80.0 m?(c) How many moles of air were needed to be released to…arrow_forwardThe velocity field of a fluid v (in meters per second) has divergence div(v)(P) = 3 at the point P = (2, 2, 2). Estimate the flow rate out of the sphere of radius 0.5 meter centered at P.arrow_forward
- Suppose that a copper sphere of radius 3 cm is beaten and drawn into a wire of diameter 0.2 cm. What is the length of the wire?arrow_forwardIn 1654 Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, gave a demonstration before the noblemen of the Holy Roman Empire in which two teams of eight horses could not pull apart two evacuated brass hemispheres. (a) Assuming the hemispheres have (strong) thin walls, so that R may be considered both the inside and outside radius, show that the force required to pull apart the hemispheres has magnitude F = pR2 p, where p is the difference between the pressures outside and inside the sphere. (b) Taking R as 30 cm, the inside pressure as 0.10 atm, and the outside pressure as 1.00 atm, find the force magnitude the teams of horses would have had to exert to pull apart the hemispheres. (c) Explain why one team of horses could have proved the point just as well if the hemispheres were attached to a sturdy wall.arrow_forwardWhat fraction of the volume of a solid piece of metal of sg =6.50 floats above the surface of container of mercury of sg=13.57?arrow_forward
- What is the diffusion time for oxygen accrues the 2um thick membrane separating air from blood? Assume that the diffusion coefficient for oxygen in tissue is 1.1 * 10^-11 m^2/sarrow_forwardA copper wire of length 2.2m and a steel wire of length 1.6m both of diameter 3.0mm, are connected end to end. When stretched by a load , the net elongation is found to be 0.70mm . Obtain the given load (given Yc=1.1*10 11N/m2)arrow_forwardDecades ago, it was thought that huge herbivorous dinosaurs such as Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus habitually walked on the bottom of lakes, extending their long necks up to the surface to breathe. Brachiosaurus had its nostrils on the top of its head. In 1977, Knut Schmidt-Nielsen pointed out that breathing would be too much work for such a creature. For a simple model, consider a sample consisting of 10.0 L of air at absolute pressure 2.00 atm, with density 2.40 kg/m3, located at the surface of a freshwater lake. Find the work required to transport it to a depth of 10.3 m, with its temperature, volume, and pressure remaining constant. This energy investment is greater than the energy that can be obtained by metabolism of food with the oxygen in that quantity of air.arrow_forward
- (II) A physician judges the health of a heart by measuring thepressure with which it pumps blood. If the physician mistakenly attaches the pressurized cuff around a standing patient’s calf (about 1 m below the heart) instead of the arm (Fig. 10–42), what error (in Pa) would be introduced in theheart’s blood pressure measurement?arrow_forwardAn airplane has wings, each with area 3.85 m2, designed so that air flows over the top of the wing at 248 m/s and underneath the wing at 226 m/s. Approximately what size wings would an aircraft need on Mars if its engine generates the same differences in speed as in the "Practice It" and the total mass of the craft is 300 kg? The density of air on the surface of Mars is approximately one percent Earth's density at sea level, and the acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is about 3.8 m/s2. ______________m2arrow_forwardAssuming a constant pressure gradient, if blood flow is reduced by 52%, by what factor is the radius of a blood vessel decreased?arrow_forward
