BIO Blood flow in the heart. The human circulatory system is closed—that is, the blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart into the arteries is constrained to a series of continuous, branching vessels as it passes through the capillaries and then into the veins as it returns to the heart. The blood in each of the heart’s four chambers comes briefly to rest before it is ejected by contraction of the heart muscle.
75. If the contraction of the left ventricle lasts 250 ms and the speed of blood flow in the aorta (the large artery leaving the heart) is 0.80 m/s at the end of the contraction, what is the average acceleration of a red blood cell as it leaves the heart?
- A. 310 m/s2
- B. 31 m/s2
- C. 3.2 m/s2
- D. 0.32 m/s2

- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?

Figure P2.9 shows a graph of v, versus t for the motion of a motorcyclist as he starts from rest and moves along the road in a straight line. (a) Find the average acceleration for the time interval t = 0 to t = 6.00 s. (b) Estimate the time at which the acceleration has its greatest positive value and the value of the acceleration at that instant. (c) When is the acceleration zero?

- You step onto a hot beach with your bare feet. A nerve impulse, generated in your foot, travels through your nervous system at an average speed of 110 m/s. How much time does it take for the impulse, which travels a distance of 1.8 m, to reach your brain? 4.arrow_forwardThe well-fed ants of the Fourth North Creek Ant Colony maintain and adhere to a straight trail along the ground between the nearby picnic table and the hole leading to their underground nest. In the colony's folklore, this trail has been known since ancient times as the x-axis. One member of the colony, returning to the nest after quenching its thirst with a serious portion of a tasty beverage dripping from the picnic table, is observed first at position x; = 9.63 m on the trail. Then it is seen staggering back and forth along the trail, eventually stopping for a nap at position xf = 8.17 m exactly 87.7 s later. Find the ant's average velocity during this time interval.arrow_forwardion 2 Unsaved The radius of an artery narrows from 1.10 cm down to 0.500 cm due to atherosclerosis. This results in a faster blood flow in the narrowed region. The average speed of the blood in the narrow region is 41.0 cm/s. Determine the average speed of the blood in the wide region. Give your answer in units of cm/s, accurate to 1 decimal place. Your Answer: Answerarrow_forward
- A man drops a rock into a well, (a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.40 s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound in air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? (b) What If? II the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?arrow_forwardThe circus rehearses an idea to spice up the act. When the acrobat steps off, a bunch of plastic flowers will be fired at her out of a cannon, and she will catch the bunch as she falls. The bore of the cannon is at the same height as the trampoline. (a) Choose values for the following. None of them can be 0. i. The distance from the bore of the cannon to the trampoline. 18m ii. The initial velocity of the flowers. This must be high enough to reach the acrobat before she lands. 45 m/s (b) Draw a picture. Label the origin and axes. (c) Create a table showing the information you know for the flowers. (d) Determine the launch angle of the flowers so the acrobat can catch them. (e) Calculate all unknowns about the motion of the flowers. (f) Determine the velocity of the bunch of flowers relative to the acrobat at the time she catches themarrow_forwardWhat would be the velocity of liquid (m/s) at radius of 8 cm?
