FIGURE EX2.7 showed the velocity graph of blood in the aorta. What is the blood’s acceleration during each phase of the motion, speeding up and slowing down?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The acceleration of blood during the speeding up phase is 16ms-2.

The acceleration of blood during the speeding down phase is-5.3ms-2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The velocity-time graph of blood in the aorta is shown below

02

Find the acceleration of blood in the aorta during the speeding up phase.

Average acceleration is given by the slope of the velocity-versus-time graph.

For the first phase, consider two points t1,v1=0.1,0and t2,v2=0.15,0.8.

The acceleration of the blood is

a=v2-v1t2-t1=0.8-00.15-0.1=16ms2

Therefore, the acceleration of blood during the speeding up phase is16ms2.

03

Find the acceleration of blood in the aorta during the speeding down phase.

For the second phase, consider two points t2,v2=0.15,0.8and t3,v3=0.3,0.

The acceleration of the blood is

a=v3-v2t3-t2=0-0.80.3-0.15=-5.3ms2

Therefore, the acceleration of blood during the speeding down phase is-5.3ms2.

A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 3.0-m-wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.50 m/s. As the dog enters, the cat (as only cats can do) immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. The dog (all bark and no bite) is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s2 as soon as it enters the room. How far is the cat in front of the dog as it leaps through the window?

A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s, coasts for 2.0 s, and then slows down at a rate of 3.0 m/s2 for the next stop sign. How far apart are the stop signs?

Careful measurements have been made of Olympic sprinters in the 100-meter dash. A simple but reasonably accurate model is that a sprinter accelerates at 3.6 m/s2 for 31 3 s, then runs at constant velocity to the finish line.
a. What is the race time for a sprinter who follows this model?
b. A sprinter could run a faster race by accelerating faster at the beginning, thus reaching top speed sooner. If a sprinter’s top speed is the same as in part a, what acceleration would he need to run the 100-meter dash in 9.9 s?
c. By what percent did the sprinter need to increase his acceleration in order to decrease his time by 1%?

Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. A fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. At this instant, the second and third drops are exactly at the bottom and top edges of a 1.00-m-tall window. How high is the edge of the roof?

In the problem, you are given the kinematic equation that are used to solve a problem.

  1. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation. Be sure that the answer your problem requests is consistent with the equation given.
  2. Draw the pictorial presentation for your problem.
  3. Finish the solution of the problem.
