Chapter 2, Problem 66AP
The thickest and strongest chamber in the human heart is the left ventricle, responsible during systole for pumping oxygenated blood through the aorta to rest of the body. Assume aortic blood starts from rest and accelerates at 22.5 m/s2 to a peak speed of 1.05 m/s. (a) How far does the blood travel during this acceleration? (b) How much time is required for the blood to reach its peak speed?

Suppose hemoglobin and DNA are diffusing in water. A small amount of each is released simultaneously. How much time (in s)
passes before the hemoglobin is 4.50 s ahead of the DNA? Such differences in arrival times are used as an analytical tool in gas
chromatography.

A man decided to ride his car at 10 kph for the first 5 seconds. He then accelerates at 1 m/s for the next 5 seconds, 2 m/s for the next 5 seconds, 3 m/s2 for the next 5 seconds, and so on and so forth.
(a) At what time will he reach a velocity of 60 kph?
(b) What is the total distance (m) traveled after he has reached a velocity of 60 kph?
A typical reaction time to get your foot on the brake in your car is 0.2 seconds. If you are traveling at a speed of 47 kph, what distance will
your car travel during this reaction time? Express your answers in meters.

- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

You want to know how far down the surface of the water is (you are very thirsty), so you hold a rock above the well and drop it. You measure the amount of time between when you release the rock and when you year the splash produced when the stone hits the water at the bottom of the well to be T. You know that the speed of sound in air is vº and the acceleration due to gravity is g. Neglecting air resistance, find the depth of the well.arrow_forwardNerve impulses in giant axons ofthe squid can travel with a speed of 25.0 m>s.

- In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 20,000 feet (6000 m), and some of them survived, with few life- threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 123 mph (54 m/s), then what was his deceleration? Assume that the trees and snow stopped him over a distance of 3.0 m.arrow_forwardTectonic plates are large segments of the Earth's crust that move slowly.

- I am doing a free-fall experiment for Physics and I need to make a velocity vs. time graph using the average value of the final velocity. Do you know how I would be able to find the values for the velocity vs. time graph? The average value of the final velocity is 6.21954 m/s. It is question #9.arrow_forwardYou are a police officer examining the scene of a car crash that claimed the life of someone driving a Tesla. There was a collision involving them and a pickup truck. The truck driver, who survived, said he was travelling North into the intersection and the Tesla was travelling East into the intersection. The truck driver claims that he was not exceeding the speed limit when the accident occurred. You note the posted speed limit was 80 km/h. Like airplanes, Teslas have a black box that records various statistics in the event a collision occurs. After analyzing the data from the black box, you discover the Tesla was driving at a velocity of 69.6 km/h [E] when the collision occurred. You google the mass of both of the vehicles and find the Tesla should be about 2020 kg and the truck should be about 2820 kg. During the collision, the two vehicles crumpled and became entangled, the skid marks revealing that the two vehicles travelled E 68° N after impact. How fast, in km/h, was the truck…arrow_forwardAs a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (89 km/h) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 47 meters. Because fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.842 and 0.941, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.550 and 0.754. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small cars with a mass of 531 kg to large trucks with a mass of 3463 kg. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and…arrow_forward
