14. Continuing with our using physics to model the human body, let us
consider the femoral artery. It is the large artery that carries blood to the leg. If a person’s femoral artery has
an inner diameter of 1.0 cm, what is the resistance of a 20-cm long column of blood in this artery?

3. Surface tension of a water strider For an animal the size of a human, surface tension seems to be a rather small and insignificant force (though it plays an important if unnoticed role in our breathing). But as animals get smaller, surface tension gets increasingly significant. (The weight of the animal goes down with the cube of the size while the surface tension only decreases linearly.) For animals like the basilisk lizard and the jacana (bird), they appear to...

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
FISCAL POLICY IN THEORY: March, 2020: we are on the verge of Congress and the President passing legislation that will empower the federal government to spend an unprecedented amount of EXTRA money not seen since World War 2 ---- in order to address the pandemic but also to help cushion the blow financially of perhaps ten or twenty million Americans --- or more --- losing their jobs, and thus suffering a drop in income. The scale of the 2020 recession...
1. According to the paper, what does lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH) do and what does it allow to happen within the myofiber? (5
points)
2. According to the paper, what is the major disadvantage of
relying on glycolysis during high-intensity exercise? (5
points)
3. Using Figure 1 in the paper, briefly describe the different
sources of ATP production at 50% versus 90% AND explain whether you
believe this depiction of ATP production applies to a Type IIX
myofiber in a human....
