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.)

When I was young, my family had a fast motorboat. It had a hole in the bottom (with a plug in it!). I asked my dad about the hole, and he said if the boat was moving fast enough, you could open the plug and any water in the bottom of the boat would drain out. a) Explain how this could work b) If the bottom of the boat is 20 cm below the surface of the water, calculate the minimum speed the boat has to move to get all the water to drain out of the bottom.

A child has a spherical helium balloon tied to her wrist as she walks through the park at a constant speed of 0.46 m/s in the +ŷ-direction. The balloon has a diameter of 7 cm, and it is tied to a 1 m long string. Take the density of air to be 1.108 kg/m³, the density of helium to be 0.122 kg/m³, and the density of the latex of the balloon to be 0.013 kg/m². The viscous drag constant of the balloon is 0.00148 kg/s. What is the direction of the string from the girl's wrist to the balloon? û = xŷ + X 2
An airplane has wings, each with area 3.85 m2, designed so that air flows over the top of the wing at 248 m/s and underneath the wing at 226 m/s. Approximately what size wings would an aircraft need on Mars if its engine generates the same differences in speed as in the "Practice It" and the total mass of the craft is 300 kg? The density of air on the surface of Mars is approximately one percent Earth's density at sea level, and the acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is about 3.8 m/s2. ______________m2
