Answer:

C. 761 millimeters of mercury

Explanation:

Because it is at rest, the intrapulmonary pressure must be equal to the atmospheric pressure. And the intrapleural pressure is usually 4 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) less than the intrapulmonary pressure. So we have the following

intrapulmonary pressure = 765 millimeters of mercury

intrapleural pressure = intrapulmonary pressure - 4 millimeters of mercury

Then:

intrapleural pressure = (765 -4) millimeters of mercury

intrapleural pressure = 761 millimeters of mercury

A 70 kg student jumps down to form a 1 m high platform. She forgets to bend her knees and her downward motion stops in 0.02 seco
34kurt

Answer:

15,505 N

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy loss of the student equals the kinetic energy gain of the student

-ΔU = ΔK

-(U₂ - U₁) = K₂ - K₁ where U₁ = initial potential energy = mgh , U₂ = final potential energy = 0, K₁ = initial kinetic energy = 0 and K₂ = final kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

-(0 - mgh) = 1/2mv² - 0

mgh = 1/2mv² where m = mass of student = 70kg, h = height of platform  = 1 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and v = final velocity of student as he hits the ground.

mgh = 1/2mv²

gh = 1/2v²

v² = 2gh

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2 × 9.8 m/s² × 1 m)

v = √(19.6 m²/s²)

v = 4.43 m/s

Upon impact on the ground and stopping, impulse I = Ft = m(v' - v) where F = force, t = time = 0.02 s, m =mass of student = 70 kg, v = initial velocity on impact = 4.43 m/s and v'= final velocity at stopping = 0 m/s

So Ft = m(v' - v)

F = m(v' - v)/t

substituting the values of the variables, we have

F = 70 kg(0 m/s - 4.43 m/s)/0.02 s

= 70 kg(- 4.43 m/s)/0.02 s

= -310.1 kgm/s ÷ 0.02 s

= -15,505 N

So, the force transmitted to her bones is 15,505 N

First, torque is equal to force times the distance. for the first force that is applied, the torque is zero because is applied at the hinge. so the net torque:

t = 14.26 Nm is the torque with respect to the hinge

(4) (-3, -2, -11)

(5) (-11, 14, 8)

(6) (17, -12, -6)

Explanation:

A⃗ =(1,0,−3)

B⃗ =(−2,5,1)

C⃗ =(3,1,1)

Vector additions and subtraction are done on a component by component basis, that is, only data from component î can be added to or subtracted from another Vector's component î. And so on for components j and k.

1) (A - B) = (1,0,−3) - (−2,5,1) = (1-(-2), 0-5, -3-1) = (3,-5,-4)

2)  (B - C) = (−2,5,1) - (3,1,1) = (-2-3, 5-1, 1-1) = (-5, 4, 0)

3) -A + B - C = -(1,0,−3) + (−2,5,1) - (3,1,1) = (-1-2-3, 0+5-1, 3+1-1) = (-6, 4, 3)

4) 3A - 2C = 3(1,0,−3) - 2(3,1,1) = (3,0,-9) - (6,2,2) = (3-6, 0-2, -9-2) = (-3, -2, -11)

5) -2A + 3B - C = -2(1,0,−3) + 3(−2,5,1) - (3,1,1) = (-2,0,6) + (-6,15,3) - (3,1,1) = (-2-6-3, 0+15-1, 6+3-1) = (-11, 14, 8)

6) 2A - 3 (B - C) = 2(1,0,−3) - 3[(−2,5,1) - (3,1,1)] = (2,0,-6) - 3(-5,4,0) = (2+15, 0-12, -6-0) = (17, -12, -6)

RSB [31]

Answer:

V₂ = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of the first piece = 6 m/s

speed of the third piece = 3 m/s

speed of the second fragment = ?

mass ratios = 1 : 4 : 2

fragment break  fly off = 120°

α = β = γ  = 120°

sin α = sin β = sin γ = 0.866

using lammi's theorem

\dfrac{A}{sin\alpha}=\dfrac{B}{sin\beta}=\dfrac{C}{sin\gamma}

A,B and C is momentum of the fragments

\dfrac{m\times 6}{0.866}=\dfrac{4m\times v_2}{0.866}=\dfrac{2m\times 3}{0.866}

4 x V₂ = 2 x 3

V₂ = 1.5 m/s

Derive an expression for the total mechanical energy of the system as the monkey reaches the top of the motion, Etop, in terms o
ipn [44]

Answer:

U =  0.5 * k *(x + d - h_max)^2 + m*g*h_max

Explanation:

Given:

- The extension in spring @ equilibrium = x m

- The spring constant = k

- The amount of distance pulled down = d

- mass of the toy = m

Find:

- The total mechanical energy E_top at the top position h_max in terms of the available variables.

Solution:

- First we need to determine the types of Energy that are in play:

- The Elastic potential Energy E_p in a spring is given:

                              E_p: 0.5 * k * (ext)

- In our case when the toy at the top most position h_max will have a net extension ext, by summing displacement of spring:

             ext = Equilibrium + distance pulled - h_max = (x + d - h_max)

Hence, the elastic potential energy will be:

                              E_p = 0.5 * k *(x + d - h_max)^2

- The gravitational potential energy E_g is given by:

                              E_g = m*g*h_max

Where, bottom most position is taken as reference (datum).

- The kinetic Energy E_k is given by:

                              E_k = 0.5*m*v_top^2

- Since we know that the maximum height is reached when velocity is zero

Hence,                   E_k = 0.5*m*0^2 = 0.

The total Energy of the system U is sum of all energies and play:

                               U = E_p + E_k + E_g

                               U =  0.5 * k *(x + d - h_max)^2 + m*g*h_max
