The effect of hand fans for better breathing in emergencies Suppose I am in a room or system with a lot of smoke and it is difficult to breathe. If I put a hand fan in front of my face, does the wind from the fan blow the smoke away from my face, making it easier for me to breathe, or does it increase the intensity of the smoke and make it harder for me to breathe? How can this phenomenon be explained in terms of physics?

Which process is represented by the pv diagram? a. the isobaric process b. the isovolumetric process c. the isothermal process d. the adiabatic process

Aplayground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.6 m and a moment of inertia of 200 kg-m2 and turns with negligible friction about a vertical axle through its center. a child applies a 26.0 n force tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round for 15.0 seconds. if the merry-go-round is initially at rest, how much work did the child do on the merry-go-round?

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.
