- The left ventricle of a resting adult's heart pumps blood at a flow rate of 83.0 cm3/s, increasing its pressure by 110 mm Hg, its speed from zero to 30.0 cm/s, and its height by 5.00 cm. (All numbers are averaged over the entire heartbeat.) Calculate the total power output of the left ventricle. Note that most of the power is used to increase blood pressure.arrow_forwardA water supply maintains a constant rate of flow for water in a hose. You want to change the opening of the nozzle so that water leaving the nozzle will reach a height that is four times the current maximum height the water reaches with the nozzle vertical. To do so, should you (a) decrease the area of the opening by a factor of 16, (b) decrease the area by a factor of 8, (c) decrease the area by a factor of 4, (d) decrease the area by a factor of 2, or (e) give up because it cannot be done?arrow_forwardThe old rubber boot shown in Figure 12.26 has two leaks. To what maximum height can the water squirt from Leak 1? How does the velocity of water emerging from Leak 2 differ from that of leak 1? Explain your responses in terms of energy.arrow_forward
- You can squirt water from a garden hose a considerably greater distance by partially covering the opening with your thumb. Explain this works.arrow_forwardThe fire fighters attach brass jets at the end of water pipes. Why?arrow_forwardThe water supply for a city is often provided from reservoirs built on high ground. Water flows from the reservoir, through pipes, and into your home when you turn the tap on your faucet. Why does water flow more rapidly out of a faucet on the first floor of a building than in an apartment on a higher floor?arrow_forward

You are going to build a new hydroelectric power station as the figure below. Your power station operates with a 40 m headwater. Assuming the diameter of the inlet pipe and outlet pipe are the same (2 m). Water leaves the system at speed of 5 m/s. According to the survey you did, the average residence consumes 1 kW of power. Determine how many homes can have enough power from your power plant. Assuming no power loss from power gridsarrow_forward
