- A spaceshuttle that weighs 512 kg is mounted to a rocket that weighs 17352 kg, which includes the fuel inside. The rocket is loaded with 13014 kg of fuel initially, which has a burn rate of 175 kg/s and runs at a relative speed of 4000 m/s. Find the maximum speed that can be achieved by the rocket. This is when we want to deploy the shuttle. Assume that gravity doesn't change value (this assumption will ensure that we reach our destination). The time that it reaches maximum speed is seconds. The rocket reaches meters/second when the shuttle is to deploy. * Please make sure the answer is correct* A spaceshuttle that weighs 512 kg is mounted to a rocket that weighs 17352 kg, which includes the fuel inside.

The human heart pumps the average adult's 6.0 liters (6000 cm3) of blood through the body every minute. The heart must do work to overcome frictional forces that resist blood flow. The average blood pressure is 1.3x104 N/m² a) How much work does the heart do to move the 6.0 liters of blood completely through the body? b) What power output must the have to do this task once a minute? Hint: When the heart contracts, it applies a force to the blood. Pressure is force/area. Model the circulatory system as a single closed tube, with crosssectional area A and volume V=6.0 liters, filled with blood to which the heart applies a force.arrow_forward
