In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it pushes a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v, and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V. Assume that the blood's speed is 51.0 cm/s. The mass of the person + platform is 54.0 kg. The platform moves 5.20 x 10-5 m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass (in g) of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the total mass of the person, and the person + platform is initially at rest. (Also assume that the changes in velocity are instantaneous.)

Consider the system of cylindrical pipes shown in the following figure, where a flow of water is traveling from the larger pipe to the other: Knowing that: the diameter of the larger pipe (D1) is double than the diameter of smaller section pipe (D2), the speed of water V2 is than: A- V2= 2 V1, B- V2 = 4 V1, D1 D2 C-V2 = V2V1, D-V2 = V1/2, E-V2 = V1//2, O A В C D
A 5 kg bag of sand is poured into a funnel and allowed to flow out the bottom of the funnel and onto a scale that is 2.8 m below, where the sand collects. If it takes 11 seconds for all of the sand to flow out of the funnel, what does the scale read 8 seconds after the sand begins collecting? State your answer to the nearest 0.1 N. (Let g= 10 m/s2)

Question 2. 1. Jack and Rose had to abandon the ship the R.M.S. Titanic when it sank in the North Atlantic. Rose managed to climb onto a door which was floating on the ocean's surface. The door has dimensions of 2.2m x 1.2m x 0.07m and is made of American Red Oak which has a density of 740 kg.m3. Jack's mass is 75kg and Rose's mass is 63kg, assuming that the density of ice cold salt water is 1000 kg.m3 - Could the door support them both until a lifeboat arrives? II. If they attached two lifejackets with a buoyancy force of 5.58 Newtons to the bottom of the door, how much larger would the combined buoyancy force be? I.
