About 70 g of blood is pumped from a person's heart into the aorta during each heartbeat. The blood starts at rest with respect to the body and has a speed of about 1.2 m/s in the aorta. If the pumping takes 0.15 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the heart on the blood?

- To lift off from the Moon, a 9.50 105 kg rocket needs a thrust larger than the force of gravity. If the exhaust velocity is 4.25 103 m/s, at what rate does the exhaust need to be expelled to provide sufficient thrust? The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.62 m/s2.arrow_forwardA model rocket engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N. It has an initial mass of 25.5 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s. (a) What is the average exhaust speed of the engine? (b) This engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 53.5 g. What is the final velocity of the rocket if it were to be fired from rest in outer space by an astronaut on a spacewalk? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.arrow_forwardDuring a spacewalk, Dmitri finds himself floating 3 m from his space station's airlock. He only has one minute of air left. He has one detachable 10 kg toolkit, which he can toss to propel himself toward safety. How fast will he need to move to reach the airlock before he runs out of air?arrow_forward
- The puffer fish (tetradontiade) can employ a defense mechanism whereby it fills its stomach with water until the fish is almost spherical in shape. The shape, in conjunction with its external spines, are a significant deterrent to predators. Suppose that a puffer fish takes in water until its mass has increased by f = 1.89 times its initial mass. In this state, and initially at rest, the puffer fish expels the water with a speed s in one direction, while the fish recoils in the opposite direction at a speed v. For this problem neglect the drag-force effects of the surrounding ocean water. Write an expression for v/s in terms of f.arrow_forwardA 93.1 kg man sits on the stern of a 7 m long boat. The prow of the boat touches the pier, but the boat isn’t tied. The man notices his mistake, stands up and walks to the boat’s prow, but by the time he reaches the prow, it’s moved 2.59 m away from the pier. Assuming no water resistance to the boat’s motion, calculate the boat’s mass (not counting the man). Answer in units of kg. please helparrow_forwardYou are participating in a fresh water fishing tournament with the goal of catching the heaviest fish. You are in the middle of the river when you finally get your catch; unfortunately, you realize that you left the spring scales in your car. All you have in the boat are the paddles, your 16 Oz coffee mug, some rope, measuring tape, and a plastic bag. Estimate the mass of the fish (in kilograms) using these items.arrow_forward
- In the figure, two long barges are moving in the same direction in still water, one with a speed of 13 km/h and the other with a speed of 16 km/h. While they are passing each other, coal is shoveled from the slower to the faster one at a rate of 800 kg/min. How much additional force must be provided by the driving engines of (a) the faster barge and (b) the slower barge if neither is to change speed? Assume that the shoveling is always perfectly sideways and that the frictional forces between the barges and the water do not depend on the mass of the barges. Sarrow_forwardtwo long barges are moving in the same direction in still water, one with a speed of 10 km/h and the other with a speed of 20 km/h.While they are passing each other, coal is shoveled from the slower to the faster one at a rate of 1000 kg/min.
