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.

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_forwardAn object has an initial velocity v1 = 4.3î + -3.7jm/s.

How far does it travel before dropping a vertical distance of 1.00 cm?arrow_forward3. Two ducks, Donald and Cassiopeia, are gliding gracefully toward each other along a pond, in a straight line. Donald is initially moving at y = 0.500 m/s, and begins accelerating at 0.100 m/s2 at t=0 s. Cassiopeia moves at a constant speed of v=0.700 m/s. If they are initially separated by 25.0 m, where will they collide? Take Donald's initial position as the origin. How long will it take for them to collide? 4. A car moves along a straight road. From the graph, which of the following could you conclude? a. The car is speeding up all the time. b. The car is slowing down all the time. c. The car speeds up at first, and then slows down. d. The car is moving at a constant velocity. position timearrow_forwardThe clark freeport zone and philippine international hot air balloon foundation incorporation organizers the 18th clark philippines hot air balloons Fiesta last February 21-24, 2013.

- 3) A particle is moving along the surface of a vertical cylinder. The motion is described by the relationships: r = A, 0 = 2nt and z = B sin(2nnt). In these equations A and B are constants and n is an integer. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the particle at an arbitrary time t? Take g = 9.81 m/s² when you need to use it.arrow_forward78. 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. (a) How much time (in days) would it take to increase the velocity of DS-1 by +2700 m/s? (b) What was the acceleration of DS-1 (in m/s²)?arrow_forward2. A particle is moving along a horizontal line. The velocity (in cm/s) of the particle after t seconds is given by v(t) = tanh t + tanh? t – 1, where t >0. (a) Determine if the particle is speeding up or slowing down at time t = 0. (b) If the particle is initially located 1 cm to the left of the origin, find the position func- tion of the particle at any time t.arrow_forward
