Blood flow. Your heart pumps blood into your aorta (diameter 2.5 cm) with a maximum flow rate of about 500 cm3/s. Assume that blood flow in the aorta is laminar (which is not a very accurate assumption) and that blood is a Newtonian fluid with a viscosity similar to that of water. (a) Find the pressure drop per unit length along the aorta. Compare the pressure drop along a 10 cm length of aorta to atmospheric pressure (105 Pa). (b) Estimate the power required for the heart to push blood along a 10 cm length of aorta, and compare to the basal metabolic rate of 100 W. (c) Determine and sketch the velocity profile across the aorta (assuming laminar flow). What is the velocity at the center

Momentum lab this lab uses a phet simulation. navigate to the phet momentum simulation. if you don’t see the image below when you click on the link, then you need to either enable adobe flash (click on the puzzle piece on your screen) or you need to install adobe flash (this is a free program). change the vectors to be momentum vectors only. they are yellow. make the mass of both balls the same. hit play and notice what happens to the momentum vectors before and after the collision. you might want to play the sim multiple times. click on restart or return balls to start over. to see numbers, check the show values box (inside the green box). red’s momentum vector before the collision is green’s momentum vector after the collision. question 1 options: shorter than longer than equal to question 2 (1 point) saved since green bounces off red, this must be an collision. question 2 options: explosion inelastic elastic question 3 (1 point) red transfers of its momentum to green during the collision. question 3 options: little all most none question 4 (4 points) why does red transfer all its momentum to green? back up your answer with information from the simulation. write at least 2 sentences.

Radioisotopes often emit alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. the distance they travel through matter increases in order from alpha to gamma. each radioisotope has a characteristic half-life, which is the time needed for half of a sample of radioisotope to undergo nuclear decay. which quality is desirable for a radioisotope that is used for medical imaging of a specific organ? check all that apply. half-life of several years half-life of several days half-life of several seconds emission of gamma rays emission of alpha particles ability to be attached to a compound used by the body ability to pass through the body without being absorbed
