AI Thread Summary
The problem involves calculating the acceleration and time for blood flow in the left ventricle, with the final velocity of +22 cm/s and a displacement of +1.7 cm. The calculated acceleration is 142.353 cm/s², derived using the equation v final² = v initial² + 2a(displacement). The time taken to reach this velocity is 0.155 seconds, calculated using the equation v final = v initial + a*t. The solution was confirmed as correct by another participant in the discussion. The calculations demonstrate a clear understanding of the physics involved in blood flow dynamics.

Can someone tell me if I solved this problem correctly?

The left ventricle of the heart accelerates blood from rest to a velocity of +22 cm/s.
(a) If the displacement of the blood during the acceleration is +1.7 cm, determine its acceleration (in cm/s2).
142.353 cm/s2
(b) How much time does it take for the blood to reach its final velocity?
0.155 s

For a, I used the equation v final^2= v initial^2 + 2a(displacement)
vfinal=22cm/s
vinitial=0
displacement=1.7cm


For b, I used the equation v final= v initial + a*t

Looks good.
 
Thank you!
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
