Variations in the resistivity of blood can give valuable clues about changes in various properties of the blood. Suppose a medic

al device attaches two electrodes into a 1.5-mm-diameter vein at positions 5.0 cm apart. What is the blood resistivity if a 9.0 V potential difference causes a 230 μA current through the blood in the vein?

Answer:

Answer:

1.1 x 10^9 ohm metre

Explanation:

diameter = 1.5 mm

length, l = 5 cm

Potential difference, V = 9 V

current, i = 230 micro Ampere = 230 x 10^-6 A

radius, r = diameter / 2 = 1.5 / 2 = 0.75 x 10^-3 m

Let the resistivity is ρ.

Area of crossection

A = πr² = 3.14 x 0.75 x 0.75 x 10^-6 = 1.766 x 10^-6 m^2

Use Ohm's law to find the value of resistance

V =  i x R

9 = 230 x 10^-6 x R

R = 39130.4 ohm

Use the formula for the resistance

R=\rho \frac{l}{A}

\rho =\frac{RA}{l}

\rho =\frac{39130.4\times 0.05}{1.766\times 10^{-6}}

ρ = 1.1 x 10^9 ohm metre

In the movement of the weight in vertical circle, using momentum balance, the largest tension is at the bottom of the circle. This is represented by: 

<span>F = T - m g </span>
<span>T = F + m g 
</span>F (centripetal) = mv^2/r
<span>= m v^2 / r + m g </span>

<span>T= 0.5m * 100kgm/s^2 / 0.2kg - 9.81m/s^2 * 0.5m </span>
<span>T= 245 m^2/s^2 </span>

A mover hoists a 50 kg box from the ground to a height of 2 m. What was the change in the box's energy
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

980 J

Explanation:

The change in box's energy is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

\Delta U = m g \Delta h

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the box

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

\Delta h= 2m is the change in height of the box

Substituting numbers, we find

\Delta U = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)=980 J

A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following statements concer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Explanation:

When there is a spontaneous process , entropy of the system increases . Here hot iron is losing entropy and ocean is gaining entropy . Net effect will be gain of entropy . That means entropy gained by ocean is more than entropy lost by iron .

Hence option E is correct .

Which of the following diagrams involves a virtual image ?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The third diagram

Explanation:

  • <u>A virtual image</u> is an image that can not be formed on a screen.
  • <u>A convex lens</u> can form both virtual and real image depending on the position of the object from the lens.
  • A virtual image in convex lens is formed when the object is placed between the focus and the optical center of the lens.
  • In the third diagram, a virtual image is formed because the position of the object is between the focus and the optical center of the convex lens.
