BIO BLOOD FLOW IN THE HEART. The human circulatory system is closed—that is. the blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart into the arteries is constrained to a series of continuous, branching vessels as it passes through the capillaries and then into the veins as it returns to the heart. The blood in each of the heart’s four chambers comes briefly to rest before it is ejected by contraction of the heart muscle.

- You are on the roof of a Physics Building, 21 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.71 m tall, is approaching the building at constant speed of 2.04 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on his head, how far should your professor be when you release the egg?arrow_forwardA rocket is fired at a speed of 83.0m/s from ground level, at an angle of 66.0degrees above the horizontal. The rocket is fired towards an 28.8m high wall, which is located 25.0m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a neglibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much time does the rocket clear the top of the wall?arrow_forwardA daring ranch hand sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed of the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the distance from the limb to the level of the saddle is 3.00 m. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and limb when the ranch hand makes his move? (b) For what time interval is he in the air?arrow_forward
- Suppose that a ball is thrown straight up in the air, and that a secondball is thrown straight upward two seconds after the first. It reaches thesame maximum height as the first ball, which is 6.00 m.a. What is the position of the first ball as a function of time, y1(t)?Take the initial height of the ball as y0 = 0.b. What is the position of the second ball as a function of time, y2(t)?Take the initial height of the ball as y0 = 0.c. Draw a y − t diagram of y1(t) and y2(t). Label the max heights, timeto max height for the first ball, and note the point corresponding to thetime and height of passing.d. When do the balls pass each other in the air? Assume the balls arebeing throw up adjacent to each other.e. At what height above y0 = 0 do the balls pass each other?f. Can you find the time of passing by just using the y − t diagram?arrow_forwardI need to solve v(sub y)=v(sub 0)sin θ(sub 0)-gt to find the time that it takes the projectile to reach maximum height (so I believe I'm solving for t?). I have previously found v(sub 0y) in part (a), but I'm unsure what v(sub 0) and v(sub y) are. How do I find those variables?arrow_forwardA chinook salmon has a maximum underwater speed of 3.58 m/s, but it can jump out of water with a speed of 6.26 m/s. To move upstream past a waterfall, the salmon does not need to jump to the top of the fall, but only to a point in the fall where the water speed is less than 3.58 m/s; it can then swim up the fall for the remaining distance. Because the salmon must make forward progress in the water, let's assume it can swim to the top if the water speed is 3.00 m/s. (a) If water has a speed of 2.02 m/s as it passes over a ledge, how far below the ledge will the water be moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s? (Note that water undergoes projectile motion once it leaves the ledge. The water's velocity is initially horizontal as it passes over the ledge. Enter the magnitude of the distance only.) Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. _______m (b) If the salmon is able to jump vertically upward from the base of the fall, what is the maximum…arrow_forward
- How long does it take an automobile traveling in the left lane of a highway at 60.0 km/h to overtake (become even with) another car that is traveling in the right lane at 40.0 km/h when the cars' front bumpers are initially 135 m apart? FIND sarrow_forwardYou can use any coordinate system you like to solve aprojectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this statement, consider a ball thrown off the top of a building witha velocity vS at an angle u with respect to the horizontal. Letthe building be 50.0 m tall, the initial horizontal velocity be9.00 m/s, and the initial vertical velocity be 12.0 m/s. Chooseyour coordinates such that the positive y - axis is upward, thex - axis is to the right, and the origin is at the point where theball is released. (a) With these choices, find the ball’s maximumheight above the ground and the time it takes to reachthe maximum height. (b) Repeat your calculations choosingthe origin at the base of the building.arrow_forward1. Please refer to the following vectors:A = 6i + 2j - 3kB = 3i - j - 2kC = -i + j - 4kD = j - 3kE = -i + 2kF = -5kG = 2iH = -3jI = -4i +4j Solve 4(D x I) + 3(E x C) + 2F + 5H 2. A particle is moving at a velocity described by the function with respect to time. Find the acceleration of the particle at time t = 1 s.arrow_forward
