If your brain is 0.4 m higher than your heart when you are standing, how much lower is your blood pressure at your brain than it

is at your heart? The density of blood plasma is about 1025 kg/m3 and a typical maximum (systolic) pressure of the blood at the heart is 120 mg of Hg (= 16 kP = 1.6 × 104 N/m2). Give your answer in mg of Hg.

Answer:

The correct answer is 88.84 mmHg.

Explanation:

The pressure differential between the brain and the heart while standing up will be 120 - rho × g (gravity) × h, here h is the distance from the brain to the heart. The h is 40 cm or 0.4 m.  

rho×g×h = 1060 kg/m³×9.8 m/s²×0.4m  

= 4155 Pa  

Now converting Pa to mmHg we get:  

4155 Pa × 760 mmHg / 1.01325 × 10⁵ Pa  

= 31.16 mmHg  

Thus, the pressure in the brain now is 120 - 31.16  

= 88.84 mmHg (hypotension)

makvit [3.9K]
We need the power law for the change in potential energy (due to the Coulomb force) in bringing a charge q from infinity to distance r from charge Q. We are only interested in the ratio U₁/U₂, so I'm not going to bother with constants (like the permittivity of space).

The air in a pipe resonates at 150 Hz and 750 Hz, one of these resonances being the fundamental. If the pipe is open at both end
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two frequencies with magnitude 150 Hz and 750 Hz are given

For Pipe open at both sides

fundamental frequency is 150 Hz as it is smaller

frequency  of pipe is given by

f=\frac{nv}{2L}

where L=length of Pipe

v=velocity of sound

f=150\ Hz for n=1

and f=750 is for n=5

thus there are three resonance frequencies for n=2,3 and 4

For Pipe closed at one end

frequency is given by

f=\frac{(2n+1)}{4L}\cdot v

for n=0

f_1=\frac{v}{4L}

f_1=150\ Hz

for n=2

f_2=\frac{5v}{4L}

Thus there is one additional resonance corresponding to n=1 , between f_1 and f_2

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted when a charged particle moves through a medium faster than the local speed of light. This r
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must use the relation of the index of refraction with the speed of light in a vacuum and a material medium

           n = c / v

where c is the speed of light in the vacuum, v the speed of light in the material medium and n the ratio of rafraccio

in this case they give us that the medium matter water them that has a refractive index of

              n = 1,333

we clear

          v = c / n

let's calculate

           v = 3 10⁸ / 1,333

           v = 2.25 10⁸ m / s

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

When a mass of 25 g is attached to a certain spring, it makes 20 complete vibrations in 4.0 s. what is the spring constant of th
earnstyle [38]

Answer: The spring  of the spring is 25 N/m.

Explanation:

Mass of the body = 25 g= 0.025 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)

Oscillation is 4 sec = 20

Oscillation in 1 sec =\frac{20}{4}=5

Frequency of the vibration of the spring = 5 s^{-1}=5 Hz

Force constant can be calculated bu using the relation between the frequency and, mass and spring constant 'k'

Frequency=\frac{1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

5 s^{-1}=\frac{1}{2\times 3.14}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{0.025 kg}}

k=24.649 N/m\approx 25 N/m

The spring  of the spring is 25 N/m.

A passenger bus is travelling 28.0 m/s to the right when the driver applies the brakes. The bus stops in 5.00 s. What is the acc
MAVERICK [17]
Change in velocity = d(v)
d(v) = v2 - v1 where v1 = initial speed, v2 = final speed
v1 = 28.0 m/s to the right
v2 = 0.00 m/s
d(v) = (0 - 28)m/s = -28 m/s to the right

Change in time = d(t)
d(t) = t2 - t1 where t1 = initial elapsed time, t2 = final elapsed time
t1 = 0.00 s
t2 = 5.00 s
d(t) = (5.00 - 0.00)s = 5.00s

Average acceleration = d(v) / d(t)
(-28.0 m/s) / (5.00 s)
(-28.0 m)/s * 1 / (5.00 s) = -5.60 m/s² to the right
