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.
2.92 The velocity of blood in the aorta can be measured directly with ultrasound techniques. A typical graph of blood velocity versus time during a single heartbeat is shown in Fig. P2.92. Which statement is the best interpretation of this graph? (a) The blood flow changes direction at about 0.25 s; (b) the speed of the blood flow begins to decrease at about 0.10 s; (c) the acceleration of the blood is greatest in magnitude at about 0.25 s; (d) the acceleration of the blood is greatest in magnitude at about 0.10 s.

(a) How far is the rocket from the launch pad 7.20 later when the rocket engine runs out of fuel?arrow_forwardA roofer tosses a shingle off a 240.1 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal velocity of 10 m/s. How far from the building does the shingle land? What is the acceleration of the shingle as it leaves the roof at 2m/s^2?arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardAn inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 51.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.06 m/s. (b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously?arrow_forwardA very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s. How long a time does he have to get out of the way if the shot was released at a height of 2.20 m and he is 1.80 m tall?arrow_forward
- A rocket with a very particular movement moves vertically upwards. The acceleration of the rocket is given by ay (t) = B − Ct, where B = 39.23 m / s2 and C = 7.24 m / s3. At t = 0 s the rocket is at the origin and has an initial velocity of 23.15 m / s. How long does it take for the rocket to reach maximum height? give the answer in sarrow_forwardThe catapult of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln accelerates an F/A-18 Hornet jet fighter from rest to takeoff speed of 173 mi/h in a distance of 307 ft. How much time does it take for the fighter to accelerate to takeoff speed?arrow_forwardA cheetah spots a Thomson's gazelle, its preferred prey, and leaps into action, quickly accelerating to its top speed of 30 m/sm/s, the highest of any land animal. However, a cheetah can maintain this extreme speed for only 15 ss before having to let up. The cheetah is 270 mm from the gazelle as it reaches top speed, and the gazelle sees the cheetah at just this instant. With negligible reaction time, the gazelle heads directly away from the cheetah, accelerating at 4.6 m/s2m/s2 for 5.0 ss, then running at constant speed. Does the gazelle escape? Yes, the gazelle will run more than the cheetah could run at all during the gazelle's acceleration. No, the cheeatah will approach the gazelle during its acceleration. Yes, but in order to escape gazelle needs to maintain the constant speed for a while. No, the cheeatah will approach the gazelle during its run at a constant speed.arrow_forward
