Please answer the following:
How does the Heimlich Maneuver mimic forced expiration?
At one time it was fashionable for women to wear corsets to cinch in their waistlines. These corsets would be laced tightly around the midsection. -Describe how wearing a corset could affect pulmonary ventilation and alveolar ventilation rate. Include Boyle’s law, as well as the pressures and physical structures that are involved in ventilation in your answer.
Hydrogen bonding between water molecules is essential for lung expansion to occur but also increases resistance during inspiration. Explain this contrast by describing the locations and how hydrogen bonding plays a positive and negative role in ventilation.

An object is placed 35.5 cm to the left of a converging lens of focal length 18.8 cm. A second lens, which is diverging and has a focal length of -88.8 cm is placed at a certain distance d to the right of the first lens.
A) where is the image of the object formed by the first lens and what is its magnification?
B) If the distance d=53.6 cm, where is the final image of the object? What are the properties of the image?
C) If the distance d=25.9 cm, where is the final image of the object? What are the properties of the image?
D) If in part B the lenses are reversed, where is the final image of the object and what are the properties of the image?

When landing poorly from a jump, your leg is likely to break at a point just above the ankle where the cross-sectional area of the bone (the tibia) is smallest. The tibia has a radius of 0.70.7cm. A bone will fracture when the compressive stress on it exceeds 130130MPa.
Your intrepid physics instructor (mass 6060kg) jumps from a desktop of height 1.21.2m onto a concrete floor, landing evenly on two legs. How much should she bend her knees to avoid breaking bones? Specifically, what is the minimum stopping distance ddsuch that the stress on the tibia during her landing is sufficiently low that it will not break? Give your answer in cm.
Notice that landing with stiff knees greatly decreases this stopping distance and is thus a really bad idea.

A Sweaty Weight Lifter
Due this Friday, Dec 4 at 11:59 pm (EST) |
In exercising, a weight lifter loses 0.142 kg of water through
evaporation, the heat required to evaporate the water coming from
the weight lifter's body. The work done in lifting weights is
1.38E+5 J. Assuming that the latent heat of vaporization of
perspiration is 2.45E+6 J/kg, find the change in the internal
energy of the weight lifter.

100 kg of R-134a at 200 kPa are contained in a piston–cylinder device whose volume is 12.766 m3. The piston is now moved until the volume is one-half its original size. This is done such that the pressure of the R-134a does not change. Determine the final temperature and the change in the total internal energy of R-134a. Use data from the steam tables.
The final temperature is °C.
The total change in internal energy is kJ/kg.

(a) A toy car1 has a mass of 1.6 kg and is moving with a velocity of 6.0 m/s to the right. It collides with a second car2 (mass 2.4 kg). The cars stick together. After the collision, both cars move with a velocity of 1.5 m/s to the left.
(a) How fast and in what direction was car2 traveling before the
collision?
(b) Calculate the total kinetic energy of the system before and
after the collision.
