Q

Doppler effects occurs when

A

A periodic signal emitted from a source (sound, light) is perceived by an observer to have a different wavelength due to the relative motion between the source and observer.
Change of wavelength is proportional to the relative speed between the source and observer

If the source is mixing toward the observer = wavelength and signal decreases.
Away from the observer = wavelength and signal increases

An alteration in the observed frequency of a sound due to go motion of either the source or the observer. Observer month toward the source = higher frequency of sound, the person moving away from the source = lower frequency of the sound. Is the source coming toward the observer= higher frequency and vice versa

Q

Cardiac output is

A

The amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle in 1 min

CO = SV * HR
SV = strike volume of the heart- volume of blood pumped out in a single heartbeat ( SV = EDV - ESV end diastolic volume-end systolic volume)

25
Tension at constant velocity depends on
Frictional force
26
Work energy theorem states
Works done by a force on an object can be calculated as the change in the objects KE
27
Law of conservation of energy states
Total energy which is the sum of PE + KE must remain constant
28
During exercise blood flow to the skin increases in order to
Maintain normal body temperature through heat transfer mechanisms
29
Static friction definition
Frictional force that per event two surfaces from sliding. Higher normal force = higher friction= greater stretching Fs = u F
30
Difference between static friction and kinetic friction
Static = not moving Kinetic = moving Uk is always less than Us Static can increase but kinetic is constant
31
Kinetic friction definition
Occurs when surfaces slide against each other. Moving. Fk = Uk * F
32
When the velocity is positive than friction has a sign …
Negative because kinetic friction acts in opposite direction and vice versa
33
Perpendicular is … while parallel is ..:
Cos, Sin
34
Normal force with weight
N= W cos or sin
35
When the normal force decreases the kinetic friction also
Decreases and vice versa because Fk = uF
36
Work is done by friction sliding down and up the ramp equals
W = wdown + workup 2FL
37
Difference between potential energy and kinetic energy
KE= motion of objects PE= position of objects
38
Periodic motion is
When on object moves in a cyclical fashion returning to the same location after a certain period of time. Modeled in terms of wave motion, where time required to compete one cycle of motion and its names as a period (T) which is expressed in seconds f = 1/T
39
Work energy principal
W = delta KE W = - delta PE KE+ PE=0
40
High frequency electromagnetic radiation are more … while low frequency radiation carries much less …
Energetic, Energy
41
Radiation energy is directly related to ..
Temperature Higher frequency = higher T Lowry frequency = lower T
42
Enthalpy H definition
Measures energy stored in a chemical bond and is amount of energy released or absorbed from the formation and destruction of chemical bonds in a reaction. Energy is released as heat if the H of the products is lower than H of the reactants and H is negative (exothermic). When H of products is higher than H is positive ( endothermic)
43
Phase changes
44
Bomb cell is a type of what system? And calorimetry device?
Closed. Heat can be exchanged but matter cannot Isolated, neither heat not matter can be exchanged
45
Conduction definition
Direct transfer of energy from molecule to molecule through molecular collisions. Through direct contact. Metals are the best conductors, gases are the worst.
46
Convection definition
Transfer of heat by physical motion of a fluid over a material. Only for liquids and gases. Motion of fluids.
47
Specific heat of water is
1 cal/ g* K or 4 J/g*K
48
Phase changes occur at
A constant T since the changes in PE not KE
49
Energy dispersion definition
Energy goes from being concentrated to being spread out
50
When an object floats?
When it’s density is less than the density of the fluid.
51
When an object sinks?
When its density is greater than a density of fluid
52
The object remains suspended when
The density of an object and fluid is the same
53
When Zero net force is exerted on an object then the object must
Be at rest or moving at a constant velocity Fnet = Fb + F drag -Weight = 0
54
State function is
Entropy and doesn’t need path to be taken
55
Thermodynamic equilibrium definition
Temperature of the system is constant and uniform throughout its volume and there is no flow of energy. T is the same with another system or its surroundings
56
Process functions definition
Describes the path taken by a state to transition from one equilibrium state to another ( work and etc)
57
Isothermal process means
Temperature of the system doesn’t change
58
Adiabatic process means
Occurs with no heat exchange between the system and the environment
59
Isochoric ( isovolumetric) process is
Volume of the system doesn’t change
60
Isobaric system is
Pressure of the system doesn’t change
61
Latent heat of vaporization definition
The condensation point is the T at which the phase transition from gas to liquid occurs releasing head equals to latent heat
62
Electron force should be directed what way?
Along the protons motion to increase its velocity
63
In static equilibrium when no rotational movement the torque is
Sum of all torques = 0
64
Inertia definition
Objects tendency to oppose changes in motion. Depends only on characteristic of an object itself (mass but not gravity or position)
65
Friction definition
Force that resists sliding between two surfaces
66
Tension definition
Force that results from an object being pulled in two directions
67
Velocity of light is inversely proportional to
Its index of refraction
