Blood pressure is measured when the blood is pumping (systolic) and when the heart is resting (diastolic). When pressure reading

s are given, the systolic is given first, and healthy blood pressure is around 120 over 80 mm Hg. Recall the density of mercury is 13.6 × 103 kg/m3.
(a) Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 120 over 83 mm. What is your systolic pressure, in newtons per meter squared?(b) Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 120 over 83 mm Hg. What is your diastolic pressure, in newtons per meter squared?

Answer:

a) P = 15993.6 N/m²

b) P' = 11062.24 N/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Density of the mercury, ρ = 13.6 × 10³ kg/m³

The blood pressure reading is given as 120 over 83 mm

a) Now,

The pressure (P) due to a fluid is given as:

P = ρgh

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity

h is the pressure head

The systolic pressure head from the blood pressure reading is , h = 120 mm = 0.12 m

substituting the value in the formula for pressure,

we get

P = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.8 × 0.12

or

P = 15993.6 N/m²

b) The systolic pressure head from the blood pressure reading is , h' = 83 mm = 0.083 m

substituting the value in the formula for pressure,

we get

P' = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.8 × 0.083

or

P' = 11062.24 N/m²

<span>First, we use the kinetic energy equation to create a formula: Ka = 2Kb 1/2(ma*Va^2) = 2(1/2(mb*Vb^2)) The 1/2 of the right gets cancelled by the 2 left of the bracket so: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*Vb^2 (1) By the definiton of momentum we can say: ma*Va = mb*Vb And with some algebra: Vb = (ma*Va)/mb (2) Substituting (2) into (1), we have: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*((ma*Va)/mb)^2 Then: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*(ma^2*Va^2)/mb^2 We cancel the Va^2 in both sides and cancel the mb at the numerator, leving the denominator of the right side with exponent 1: 1/2(ma) = (ma^2)/mb Cancel the ma of the left, leaving the right one with exponent 1: 1/2 = ma/mb And finally we have that: mb/2 = ma mb = 2ma</span>

A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit
inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses x_1 distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1

When speed doubles

\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2

divide 1 and 2

\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}

x_2=2x_1

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value

Betelgeuse is the bright red star representing the left shoulder of the constellation Orion. All the following statements about
Sav [38]

Answer:

Option A; ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

Explanation:

A red supergiant star is a larger and brighter type of red giant star. Red supergiants are often variable stars and are between 200 to 2,000 times bigger than the Sun. Example is Betelgeuse.

Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars, it has a diameter of about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles, it emits almost 7,500 times as much energy as the Sun, it has a rather low surface temperature (6000F compared to the Sun's 10,000F); this means that it has a more cooler surface than the Sun's surface.

This low temperature also means that the star will appear orange-red in color, and the combination of size and temperature makes it a kind of star called a red super giant.

Although, all the statements above are correct, the only one that can be inferred from the red color of Betelgeuse is that ITS SURFACE IS COOLER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

Describe a theme-park ride that has constant speed but changing velocity.<br><br> Thank you!

How about a carousel (merry go round).
For any one horse or rider, Speed is constant but direction keeps changing, so velocity does too.
