How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take He = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression air = 0ez/8, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.

A garden hose with a diameter of 2.0 cm is used to fill a bucket, which has a volume of 0.10 cubic meters. It takes 1.2 minutes to fill. An adjustable nozzle is attached to the hose to decrease the diameter of the opening, which increases the speed of the water. The hose is held level to the ground at a height of 1.0 meters and the diameter is decreased until a flower bed 3.0 meters away is reached. (a) What is the volume flow rate of the through the nozzle when the diameter 2.0 cm? (b) What does is the speed of coming out of the hose? (c) What does the speed of the water coming out of the hose need to be to reach the flower bed 3.0 meters away? (d) What is be diameter of nozzle needed to reach be flower bed?

The approximate diameter of the aorta is 0.50 cm; that of a capillary is 10 μm. The approximate average blood flow speed is 1.0 m/s in the aorta and 1.0 cm/s in the capillaries. If all the blood in the aorta eventually flows through the capillaries, estimate the number of capillaries in the circulatory system.

The aorta carries blood away from the heart and eventually branches into a large number of capillaries that distribute the blood to various body organs. If for an average person, the aorta has a radius of 1.2 cm and blood travels through it at a speed of 45 cm/s and the capillaries have an average radius of 5.0 x 104 cm and blood travels through them at a speed of 0.005 cm/s, determine the approximate number of capillaries in the human body. capillaries Vinuing Sound Work Bovert to I Rocponco
