Short Answer

Blood is accelerated from rest to 30.0 cm/s in a distance of 1.80 cm by the left ventricle of the heart. (a) Make a sketch of the situation. (b) List the knowns in this problem. (c) How long does the acceleration take? To solve this part, first identify the unknown, and then discuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve for it. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving for the unknown, checking your units. (d) Is the answer reasonable when compared with the time for a heartbeat?

(a) The sketch of the situation is given in figure (1).

(b) The known variables for problem are initial velocity, final velocity of blood and duration for acceleration of blood.

(c) The unknown variables in problem are acceleration and duration of acceleration with value \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.12}}\;{\bf{s}}\).

(d) The answer is reasonable and comparable with heartbeat.

Step by Step Solution

TABLE OF CONTENTS :
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1: Sketch for the situation

(a)

Given Data:

The initial speed of blood is \(u = 0\)

The final speed of blood is \(v = 30\;{\rm{cm}}/{\rm{s}}\)

The distance for blood is \(D = 1.80\;{\rm{cm}}\)

The time for acceleration and deceleration of commuter train is found by using first equation of motion.

The sketch for the situation is given in below figure:

Figure (1)

Step 2: Determination of known for problem (b)

The known variables for blood are initial velocity \(u = 0\),, final velocity \(v = 30\;{\rm{cm}}/{\rm{s}}\) and distance covered by blood \(D = 1.80\;{\rm{cm}}\).

Step 3: Determination of duration of acceleration(c)

The unknowns for the problem are acceleration of blood and duration for acceleration of blood.

The acceleration of blood is given as:

\(\begin{array}{c}a = \frac{{v - u}}{t}\\a = \frac{{30\;{\rm{cm}}/{\rm{s}} - 0}}{t}\\a = \left( {\frac{{30\;{\rm{cm}}/{\rm{s}}}}{t}} \right)\end{array}\)

Here, \(d\) is the distance covered by car.

The duration for acceleration is calculated as:

\(D = ut + \frac{1}{2}a{t^2}\)

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

\(\begin{array}{c}1.80\;{\rm{cm}} = \left( 0 \right)t + \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{{30\;{\rm{cm}}/{\rm{s}}}}{t}} \right){t^2}\\t = 0.12\;{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the duration for acceleration of blood is \(0.12\;{\rm{s}}\).

Step 4: Comparison of heartbeat duration with duration of acceleration(d)

The duration of one heartbeat for human is \(0.83\;{\rm{s}}\) which is greater than the duration of acceleration of blood \(0.12\;{\rm{s}}\) so the answer is reasonable.

There is a distinction between average speed and the magnitude of average velocity. Give an example that illustrates the difference between these two quantities.

a) Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes \({\bf{2}}.{\bf{35}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{s}}.\) for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with an initial velocity of\({\bf{8}}.{\bf{00}}{\rm{ }}{\bf{m}}/{\bf{s}}\). (b) How long would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?

(a) Calculate the average speed of the blade tip in the helicopter’s frame of reference.

(b) What is its average velocity over one revolution?

(a) How long are her feet in the air? (b) What is her highest point above the board? (c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?

A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water.

(a) If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.00 m/s to take off and it accelerates from rest at an average rate of 0.350 m/s2, how far will it travel before becoming airborne?

(b) How long does this take?
