Jeff's body contains about 5.46 L of blood that has a density of 1060 kg/m3. Approximately 45.0% (by mass) of the blood is cells

and the rest is plasma. The density of blood cells is approximately 1125 kg/m3, and about 1% of the cells are white blood cells, the rest being red blood cells. The red blood cells are about 7.50????m across (modeled as spheres).

mblood=________________________kg

b. Approximately how many blood cells (of both types) ????N are in Jeff's blood?

????= _______________ blood cells

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 baseball is hit high into the upper bleachers of left field. Over its entire flight the work done by gravity and the work done

serg [3582]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the baseball ascends, gravitational forces as well as air resistance act downward, whereas the displacement is moving upward which results in an angle of 180° between the force and displacement. Therefore, the work done by both the gravitational force and air resistance is negative, confirming option (d) as accurate.

In broad daylight, the size of your pupil is typically 3 mm. In dark situations, it expands to about 7 mm. How much more light c

Sav [3153]

Answer:

31.4 mm²

Explanation:

The ability of a telescope or eye to gather light can be expressed by the formula,

$GDP=\pi } \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

where d signifies the diameter of the pupil.

In bright daylight, the usual size of the pupil is 3 mm.

$GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{3^{2} }{4}$

Conversely, in darkness, the diameter typically enlarges to 7 mm.

$GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{7^{2} }{4}$

This indicates an increase in light-gathering capacity.

$Increase=\pi \frac{49}{4} -\pi \frac{9}{4} \\Increase=31.4 mm^{2}$

Thus, the amount of light the eye can capture is 31.4 mm².

For a projectile, which of the following quantities are constant during the flight: x, y, vx, vy, v, ax, ay? Check all that appl

Yuliya22 [3333]

Response:

C. vx

F. ax

G. ay

Clarification:

The projectile follows a curved trajectory toward the ground, causing changes in x and y positions.

Since there is no external force acting in the x-direction, the acceleration in x remains at zero. Consequently, ax and vx remain unchanged.

The projectile is subject to the force of gravity, directed downwards, leading to an increase in its velocity due to the rise in its y-component.

Meanwhile, the y-component of acceleration remains constant due to gravitational acceleration.
