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.
77. The velocity of blood in the aorta can be measured directly by using ultrasound techniques. A typical graph of blood velocity as a function of time during a single heartbeat is shown in Figure 2.56. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this graph?
- A. The blood flow changes direction at about 0.25 s.
- B. The speed of blood flow begins to decrease at about 0.10 s.
- C. The acceleration of the blood is greatest in magnitude at about 0.25 s.
- D. The acceleration of the blood is greatest in magnitude at about 0.10 s.

- 1. Determine the time it takes to accelerate blood from rest to 30.0 cm/s in a distance of 1.80 cm by the left ventricle of the heart. If the average heart rate is 72.0 beats/min, is the answer reasonable when compared with the time for a heartbeat?arrow_forwardHenrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 3.30 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realizes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 52.5 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 9.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run. You can ignore air resistance. I. With what initial speed must Bruce throw the bagels so Henrietta can catch them just before they hit the ground? (Express your answer in meters per second.) II.

- Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 4.10 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realizes that she left in such a hurry that she forgot her lunch of bagels, so he runs to the window of their apartment, which is a height 43.4 m above the street level and directly above the sidewalk, to throw them to her. Bruce throws them horizontally at a time 5.00 s after Henrietta has passed below the window, and she catches them on the run.

One person stands exactly 4.0 m above the other person, and both release and catch the balls at the same height above their feet. The balls are always caught on their way down. The boy on the main floor releases his ball with an initial velocity of 25 m/s [up]. With what velocity should the girl on the balcony throw her ball at the same moment, so that both balls will be caught by the other person at exactly the same timearrow_forwardI need help here pleasearrow_forward

In 1998, NASA launched Deep Space 1 (DS-1), a spacecraft that successfully flew by the asteroid named 1992 KD (which orbits the sun millions of miles from the earth). The propulsion system of DS-1 worked by ejecting high-speed argon ions out the rear of the engine. The en- gine slowly increased the velocity of DS-1 by about +9.0 m/s per day.
