This technique of locomotion is useful in providing short bursts of speed to catch prey and to avoid predators, and it gives them the title of fastest marine invertebrates. Oxygenated water is taken in by the cephalopod and then expelled by muscular contraction through an opening called the hyponome. Assume a 5.0 kg squid draws in 0.44 kg of water and then quickly (in 0.12 s) expels this water at a speed of 10.1 m/s. What is the recoil speed of the squid just after the water is expelled?

Arteriosclerotic plaques forming on the inner wall of arteries can decrease the effective cross-sectional area of an artery. Even small changes in the effective area of an artery can lead to very large changes in the blood pressure in the artery and possibly to the collapse of the blood vessel. Imagine a healthy artery, with blood flow velocity of vo equals 0.14 m/s and mass per volume of p = 1050 kg/m³. The kinetic energy per unit volume of blood is given pv². This is one of the terms in Bernoulli's equation. Imagine that plague has narrowed an artery to 1/10 of its normal cross-sectional area, a 90% blockage. 1 2 by ko = a) Compared to normal blood flow velocity, vo, what is the velocity of blood as it passes through this blockage? b) By what factor does the kinetic energy per unit of blood volume change as the blood passes through this blockage? c) Using Bernoulli's equation as the blood passes through this blockage, what happens to the blood pressure?
Assume all gases in this problem are ideal. A person is in a closed room (a racquetball court) with V = 438 m hitting a ball (m = 42.0 g) around at random without any pauses. The average kinetic energy of the ball is 2.10 J. (a) What is the average value of v, in (m2/s²)? m²/s² Does it matter which direction you take to be x? O Yes O No (b) Applying the methods of this chapter, find the average pressure on the walls (in Pa).

Superman leaps in front of Lois Lane to save her from a volley of bullets. In a 1-minute interval, an automatic weapon fires 150 bullets, each of mass 8.0 g, at 400 m/s. The bullets strike his mighty chest, which has an area of 0.75 m2. Find the average force exerted on Superman’s chest if the bullets bounce back after an elastic, head-on collision.
Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 4 km from the nearest point B on the shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. Points B andD are 9 km apart. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) island D. nest (a) In general, if it takes 1.2 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? 6.1 x km from 8 (b) Let W and L denote the energy (in joules) per kilometer flown over water and land, respectively. Assuming the bird's…
When working on a PHYS 1510 weekly assignment, a student decided to get a medium double double coffee from Tim Hortons (a coffee made with two creams and two sugars). After drinking it, the student looked up the nutritional value of the drink, and was shocked to find it was listed as 230.0 kcal (230.0 nutritional calories). After drinking the coffee, they weighed 87.88 kg. To work off all the calories, the student decides to climb the stairs in their building. How many floors do they need to climb to burn off the entire drink? (do not include units) Assume all floors are 3.00 m apart from each other. Assume all nutritional energy is fully converted to potential energy. 1 kcal = 4184 J
A suspicious physics student watches a stunt performed at an ice show. In the stunt, a performer shoots an arrow into a bale of hay (Fig. P11.24). Another performer rides on the bale of hay like a cowboy. After the arrow enters the bale, the balearrow system slides roughly 5 m along the ice. Estimate the initial speed of the arrow. Is there a trick to this stunt? FIGURE P11.24
A 42 client with a body mass of 74 kg is interested in jogging on the treadmill as their primary means of exercise, while they listen to their "pump-up" music playlist that lasts exactly 28 minutes. To be sure they get the recommended volume of exercise each week, you'd like to have your client burn 350 kcal in each jogging session. To achieve this, what should your client set as the treadmill speed while running, in miles per hour?

Imagine you are in line to enter a brand new shopping mall and you are very much excited because after months of waiting, you will now be able to enter shopping malls after the pandemic. The stores comprising the mall are very popular. These stores include Converse, Gucci, Jansport, Fendi and all other popular brands, and so the demand to enter is very high. Security guards only allow one person through the doors at a time. As a result, the line and the wait are quite long. To add to the chaos, the waiting crowd is made mostly of frequent shoppers who are growing very impatient and holding up the line with their constant complains. Together, these factors affect the flow of customers into the shopping mall, just as electric resistance affects the flow of charges through a current. 1. What makes less resistance favorable in a circuit? 2.If the guard formed two adjacent lines to allow two people into the mall at a time, we would expect the mall to be filled up faster. If we encased these…

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.159 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 6.15 m/s, but it comes to a rough patch in the ice which slows it down to a speed of 3.15 m/s. How much energy is dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch?
