When you urinate, you increase pressure in your bladder to produce the flow. for an elephant, gravity does the work. an elephant urinates at a remarkable rate of 0.0060 m^3 (a bit over a gallon and a half) per second. assume that the urine exits 1.0 m below the bladder and passes through the urethra, which we can model as a tube of diameter 8.0 cm and length 1.2 m. assume that urine has the same density as water, and that viscosity can be ignored for this flow.
1) what is the speed of the flow? it is 1.2 m/s2) if we assume that the liquid is at rest in the bladder (a reasonable assumption) and that the pressure where the urine exits is equal to atmospheric pressure, what does bernoulli's equation give for the pressure in the bladder? (in fact, the pressure is higher than this; other factors are at work. but you can see that no increase in bladder pressure is needed! )

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
