The human small intestine moves food along its 6.9- m length by means of peristalsis, a contraction and relaxation of muscles th

at propagate in a wave along the digestive tract. Part A If the average force exerted by peristalsis is 0.18 N , how much work does the small intestine do to move food along its entire length?

Answer:

  W =1.242 J

Explanation:

Express the work done on an object which moved distance dd after applying force F.

W=F dcosθ

Since the force and the distance travelled are in the same direction, the angle between them is 0.

Substitute θ = 0 in the above equation

W=F dcos( 0° )

W = F*d

The expression for work done by an applied force which moves the object by a distance

W = Fd

Substitute 0.18 N for F and 6.9 m for d;

 W  = (0.18N)*(6.9m)

      = 1.242 J

A steel rod with a length of l = 1.55 m and a cross section of A = 4.45 cm2 is held fixed at the end points of the rod. What is
Blababa [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal stress. Said stress is defined as the amount of deformation caused by the change in temperature, based on the parameters of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material, Young's module and the Area or area of the area.

F = AY\alpha \Delta T

Where

A = Cross-sectional Area

Y = Young's modulus

\alpha= Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

\Delta T= Temperature Raise

Our values are given as,

A = 4.45cm^2

T = 37K

\alpha = 1.17*10^{-5}K^{-1}

Y = 200*10^9Gpa

Replacing we have,

F = (4.45*10^{-4})(200*10^9)(1.17*10^{-5})(37)

F = 38526.1N

Therefore the size of the force developing inside the steel rod when its temperature is raised by 37K is 38526.1N

The magnetic field around the head has been measured to be approximately 3.00×10−8 gauss . Although the currents that cause this
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field = 3\times 10^{-8}\ G

d = Diameter of loop = 16 cm

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{16}{2}=8\ cm

i = Current

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m

The magnetic field of a loop is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0i}{2r}\\\Rightarrow i=\frac{B2r}{\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow i=\frac{3\times 10^{-8}\times 10^{-4}\times 2\times 0.08}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}}\\\Rightarrow i=3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A

The current needed to produce such a field at the center of the loop is 3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A

A worker stands still on a roof sloped at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. He is prevented from slipping by static friction
aleksley [76]

Answer:

99.63 kg

Explanation:

From the force diagram

N = normal force on the worker from the surface of the roof

f = static frictional force = 560 N

θ = angle of the slope = 35

m = mass of the worker

W = weight of the worker = mg

W Cosθ = Component of the weight of worker perpendicular to the surface of roof

W Sinθ = Component of the weight of worker parallel to the surface of roof

From the force diagram, for the worker not to slip, force equation must be

W Sinθ = f

mg Sinθ = f

m (9.8) Sin35 = 560

m = 99.63 kg
