In very cold weather, a significant mechanism for heat loss by the human body is energy expended in warming the air taken into t

he lungs with each breath. A) On a cold winter day when the temperature is -19.0 C, what is the amount of heat needed to warm to internal body temperature (37 C ) the 0.470 J (Kg *K) of air exchanged with each breath? Assume that the specific heat capacity of air is 1020 and that 1.0 L of air has a mass of 1.3 g . B) How much heat is lost per hour if the respiration rate is 21.0 breaths per minute?

A policeman in a stationary car measures the speed of approaching cars by means of an ultrasonic device that emits a sound with
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

The beats frequency measures approximately

4.4 kHz

Explanation:

The beat frequency arises from the original ultrasound frequency, f=41.2 kHz, and the frequency of the sound reflected off the car, f':

f_B = f'-f (1)

To calculate the frequency of the reflected sound, we apply the Doppler effect formula:

f'=\frac{v}{v-v_s}f

where

v = 340 m/s, the speed of sound

v_s =33.0 m/sis the velocity of the car

f=41.2 kHzis the frequency of the sound emitted

By substituting values,

f'=\frac{340 m/s}{340 m/s-33.0 m/s}(41.2 kHz)=45.6 kHz

Thus, the beat frequency (1) is

f_B = 45.6 kHz - 41.2 kHz=4.4 kHz

F = π/4 ρ d² v²

Explanation:

The formula for force is mass multiplied by acceleration:

F = ma

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over the change in time:

F = m Δv / Δt

Since there is no rebound effect, Δv is equal to v.

F = m v / Δt

Mass can be calculated as density multiplied by volume:

F = ρ V v / Δt

Flow rate describes the volume per time:

F = ρ Q v

Flow rate is determined by velocity multiplied by the cross-sectional area:

F = ρ (v A) v

This simplifies to F = ρ A v²

The area of a circle is calculated as pi times the square of the radius, or as pi/4 times the diameter squared:

F = ρ (π/4 d²) v²

Hence, F = π/4 ρ d² v²
