Answer:

a) Blood mass is m= 5.7876kg

b) The count of blood cells is  N_t=1.04*10^{13}

Explanation:

From the problem statement, we learn that

         The blood volume is  V_b = 5.46 \ L = \frac{5.46}{1000} = 0.00546m^3

         The density of blood is  \rho_b = 1060 kg/m^3

         % of blood which consists of cells is  = 45.0%

        the % of blood that is  plasma is  = 55.0%

        density of blood cells is  \rho_d = 1125kg/m^3

         % of cells that are white is  = 1%

        % of cells that are red is  = 99%

         The red blood cell diameter is  = 7.5 \mu m = 7.5*10^{-6}m

         The red blood cell radius is  = \frac{7.5*10^{-6}}{2} = 3.75*10^{-6}m

The mass is generally represented mathematically as

               m = \rho_b * V_b

Substituting values

            m = 1060 * 0.00546

               m= 5.7876kg

Cell mass is m_c = 45% of m

                         = 0.45 * 5,7876

                         = 2.60442 kg

The volume of cells is V_c = \frac{m_c}{\rho_d}

                                      = \frac{2.60442}{1125}

                                      = 2.315 *10^{-3} m^3

The white blood cells volume is V_w = 1% of the cells volume

                                                         = \frac{1}{100} * 2.315*10^{-3}

                                                       = 2.315*10^{-5}m^3

The volume of a single cell is V_s = 4 \pi r^3

                                                                        = 4*(3.142) * (3.75*10^{-6})^3

                                                                        = 2.21*10^{-16}m^3

The red blood cells volume is V_r = V_c - V_w

                                                           =2.315*10^{-3} - 2.315*10^{-5}

                                                           = 2.29*10^{-3}m^3

The total red blood cell count is  = \frac{V_r}{V_s}

                                                     = \frac{2.29 *10^{-3}}{2.21*10^{-16}}

                                                    = 1.037*10^{13}

The total white blood cell count is   =\frac{V_w}{V_s}

                                                          = \frac{2.315 * 10^{-5}}{2.21*10^{-16}}

                                                          = 1.04*10^{11}

The overall number of blood cells is  N_t= 1.037*10^{13} + 1.04*10^{11}

                                                        N_t=1.04*10^{13}

Answer:

a) The blood mass is 5.788 kg

b) The total blood cells are 1.041x10¹³cells

Explanation:

Given data:

V = blood volume = 5.46 L = 0.00546 m³

ρ = blood density = 1060 kg/m³

a) The mass of the blood is given by:

\rho =\frac{m}{V} \\m=\rho V=1060*0.00546=5.788kg

b) mc = mass of cells equals to 45% of blood mass

mc = 0.45 * 5.788 = 2.6046 kg

ρc = cells density = 1125kg/m³

Cell volume:

V_{c} =\frac{m_{c} }{\rho _{c} } =\frac{2.6046}{1125} =0.0023m^{3}

Vwc = white blood cell volume = 1% of total cells volume

Vwc = 0.01 * 0.0023 = 2.3x10⁻⁵m³

The radius of a cell is:

r_{c} =\frac{7.5x10^{-6} }{2} =3.75x10^{-6} m

The volume of one cell is:

V_{sc} =\frac{4\pi r^{3} }{3} =\frac{4\pi (3.75x10^{-6})^{3} }{3} =2.209x10^{-16} m^{3}

The red blood cell count is:

N_{rc} =\frac{0.0023-2.3x10^{-5} }{2.209x10^{-16} } =1.031x10^{13} cells

The white blood cell count is:

N_{wc} =\frac{2.3x10^{-5} }{2.209x10^{-16} } =1.041x10^{11} cells

The total cell count is:

Tc = 1.031x10¹³ + 1.041x10¹¹ = 1.041x10¹³cells

A 250 GeV beam of protons is fired over a distance of 1 km. If the initial size of the wave packet is 1 mm, find its final size
Maru [2355]

Answer:

The final size is nearly the same as the initial size because the increase in size1.055\times 10^{- 7} is remarkably small

Solution:

According to the problem:

The proton beam energy is E = 250 GeV =250\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19} = 4\times 10^{- 8} J

Distance traveled by the photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Proton mass, m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg

Initial size of the wave packet, \Delta t_{o} = 1 mm = 1\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

This operates under relativistic principles

The rest mass energy for the proton is expressed as:

E = m_{p}c^{2}

E = 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (3\times 10^{8})^{2} = 1.503\times 10^{- 10} J

This proton energy is \simeq 250 GeV

Thus, the speed of the proton, v\simeq c

The time to cover 1 km = 1000 m of distance is calculated as:

T = \frac{1000}{v}

T = \frac{1000}{c} = \frac{1000}{3\times 10^{8}} = 3.34\times 10^{- 6} s

According to the dispersion factor;

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{ht_{o}}{2\pi m_{p}\Delta t_{o}^{2}}

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3.34\times 10^{- 6}}{2\pi 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (10^{- 3})^{2} = 1.055\times 10^{- 7}

Thus, the widening of the wave packet is relatively minor.

Hence, we can conclude that:

\Delta t_{o} = \Delta t

where

\Delta t = final width

Consider a 4-mg raindrop that falls from a cloud at a height of 2 km. When the raindrop reaches the ground, it won't kill you or
inna [2205]

Answer:

The work performed by air resistance totals -0.0782 J

Explanation:

Hello!

According to the principle of conservation of energy, the energy of a raindrop must remain constant.

At the outset, the raindrop possesses only gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the raindrop.

g = gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s²)

h = height.

Let's determine the initial potential energy of the raindrop:

(4 mg should be converted into kg: 4 mg · 1 kg / 1 × 10⁶ mg = 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg)

PE = 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg · 9.8 m/s² · 2000 m

PE = 0.0784 J

As the raindrop descends, some of its potential energy converts into kinetic energy while the rest is lost to the air resistance. Upon reaching the ground, all initial potential energy has been either turned into kinetic energy or spent overcoming air resistance:

initial PE = final KE + Work by air

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

Work by air = work done by air resistance.

The kinetic energy at ground level is computed as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass

v = velocity

<pThus:

KE = 1/2 · 4 × 10⁻⁶ kg · (10 m/s)²

KE = 2 × 10⁻⁴ J

Now, we can find the work done by air resistance:

initial PE = final KE + Work by air

0.0784 J = 2 × 10⁻⁴ J + Work by air

Work by air = 0.0784 J - 2 × 10⁻⁴ J

Work by air = 0.0782 J

Since work is performed in the opposite direction to movement, this results in a negative value. Therefore, the work done by air resistance is -0.0782 J.

Evaluate the final kinetic energy of the supply spacecraft for the actual tractor beam force, F(x)=αx3+βF(x)=αx3+β.
Sav [2226]

Answer:

K = 1.525 10⁻⁹ x⁴ + 4.1 10⁶ x

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energy variation, we can utilize the work-energy theorem.

W = ΔK

∫ F .dx = K - K₀

If the object starts from rest, then K₀ = 0.

So, ∫ F dx cos θ = K.

As the force and displacement directions align, the angle is zero, and hence the cosine is 1.

Now we can substitute and perform integration:

α ∫ x³ dx + β ∫ dx = K.

Thus, α x⁴ / 4 + β x = K.

Next, we evaluate from the limits F = 0 to F:

α (x⁴ / 4 - 0) + β (x - 0) = K.

Consequently, K = αX⁴ / 4 + β x.

This results in K = 1.525 10⁻⁹ x⁴ + 4.1 10⁶ x.

To finalize the computation, we need to ascertain the displacement.

A 5-kg concrete block is lowered with a downward acceleration of 2.8 m/s2 by means of a rope. The force of the block on the Eart
Maru [2355]

The moment the body impacts the ground, two types of Forces are produced: the gravitational pull and the Normal Force. This aligns with Newton's third law, indicating that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If the downward force of gravity is directed toward the earth, the reactionary force from the block acts upwards, equivalent to its weight:

F = mg

Where,

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration

F = 5*9.8

F = 49N

Consequently, the answer is E.

A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit
serg [2593]

Answer:

x₂=2×1

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, we can assume that the gravitational potential energy at the lowest point of compression is zero since the kinetic energy change is 0;

mgx-(kx)²/2 =0 where m refers to the object's mass, g indicates the acceleration due to gravity, k denotes spring constant, and x represents the spring's compression.

mgx=(kx)²/2

x=2mg/k----------------compression when the object is at rest

However, ΔK.E =-1/2mv²⇒kx²=mv² -----------where v symbolizes the object's velocity and K.E signifies kinetic energy

Thus, if kx²=mv² then

v=x *√(k/m) ----------------where v=0

<pDoubling v results in multiplying x *√(k/m) by 2, leading to x₂ being double x₁
