this is a 3 part question6) (a) Your heart beats with a frequency of 1.45 Hz. How many beats occur in a minute? (b) If the frequency of your heartbeat increases, will the number of beats in a minute increase, decrease, or stay the same? (c) How many beats occur in a minute if the frequency increases to 1.55 Hz?

Sagot :

Given,

The initial frequency of the heartbeat, f₁=1.45 Hz

The increased heartbeat, f₂=1.55 Hz

The frequency of the heartbeat can be described as the number of occurence of the heartbeat per second. That is every second, the heart beats 1.45 times.

(a)

Thus for a minute, the number of the heartbeats is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} N_1=f_1\times60 \\ =1.45\times60=87 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus 87 beats occur for a minute.

(b)The increase in the frequency of the heartbeat implies the increase in the number of the heartbeat for every second. And hence the beats in a minute increase when the frequency of the heartbeat increases.

(c)

The number of the beats per minute after the increase of the frequency is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} N_2=f_2\times60 \\ =1.55\times60 \\ =93 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus after the increase in the frequency, 93 beats occur in a minute.
