How many times does a human heart beat during a person鈥檚 lifetime? How many gallons of blood does it pump? (Estimate that the heart pumps 50 cm3 of blood with each beat.)
The planet Uranus has a radius of and a surface acceleration due to gravity ofat its poles. Its moon Miranda (discovered by Kuiper in 1948) is in a circular orbit about Uranus at an altitude of above the planet鈥檚 surface. Miranda has a mass ofand a radius of (a) Calculate the mass of Uranus from the given data. (b) Calculate the magnitude of Miranda鈥檚 acceleration due to its orbital motion about Uranus. (c) Calculate the acceleration due to Miranda鈥檚 gravity at the surface of Miranda. (d) Do the answers to parts (b) and (c) mean that an object releasedabove Miranda鈥檚 surface on the side toward Uranus will fall up relative to Miranda? Explain.
A physics professor leaves her house and walks along the sidewalk toward campus. After 5 min, it starts to rain, and she returns home. Her distance from her house as a function of time is shown in Fig. E2.10 At which of the labeled points is her velocity (a) zero? (b) constant and positive? (c) constant and negative? (d) increasing in magnitude? (e) decreasing in magnitude?
The black dots at the top of Fig. represent a series of high-speed photographs of an insect flying in a straight line from left to right (in the positive x-direction). Which of the graphs in Fig. most plausibly depicts this insect鈥檚 motion?
