The minimum necessary height of the IV bag above the position of the needle is 0.37 m.

<h3>Minimum necessary height</h3>

The minimum necessary height of the IV bag above the position of the needle is calculated as follows;

P = ρgh

where;

  • ρ is density = 1.308 kg/L = 1308 kg/m³
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
  • p is pressure = 35.7 mmHg = 4759.609 Pa
  • h is height, (m) = ?

Substitute the given parameters and solve for minimum height

h = P/ρg

h = (4759.609) / (9.8 x 1308)

h = 0.37 m

Thus, the minimum necessary height of the IV bag above the position of the needle is 0.37 m.

What is surface tension ​
kupik [55]

Answer:

Surface tension is a fundamental property of the surface of liquid. Surface tension is responsible for the curvature of the surfaces of air and liquids. Surface tension is responsible for the ability of some solid objects to “float” on the surface of a liquid.

Harman [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.-Energía eléctrica ( electricidad ) proveniente de una fuente AC ( es decir de corriente alterna)

2.-Hay un proveedor de servicios que lleva la energía a las comunidades en general y en particular la lleva hasta mi casa y escuela. Se define como acometida eléctrica, la infraestructura que lleva la energía desde la red de distribución al tablero principal en el abonado. La acometida puede ser aérea o subterránea, y normalmente consta de tres conductores ( de los cuales dos son calibre AWG # 8 ( dos fases ) y uno AWG # 10 ( neutro ). Esta configuración permite tener: 120 y 240 (V) en servicio en la casa y suficiente capacidad para la carga eléctrica de una casa normal

3.-Si, el tipo de corriente. En el caso de una linterna se usan "pilas" o baterías de corriente directa ( que no varia en el tiempo), en la casa la corriente es alterna de 60 ciclos por segundo de frecuencia.

4.-Si el voltaje es menor en una medida importante la ampolleta no alumbra por cuanto si por ejemplo el voltaje nominal ( o de funcionamiento es 120 V y el voltaje suministrado es 50 V ese voltaje será insuficiente para hacer funcionar el circuito). Si el voltaje es mayor dígamos 240 V la ampolleta se quema.

5.-El interruptor nos asegura la maniobra a nuestra voluntad del circuito del cual forma parte. Es decir si tengo un circuito de alumbrado ( 1 bombillo y un interruptor ) ese interruptor me permitirá apagar y encender la luz cuando yo quiera.

Los breaker son "interruptores" son dispositivos de protección para caso de sobrecargas y/o cortocircuitos

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

According to the answer, the speed of light is being achieved.

Explanation:

The velocity of the light is:

C=\frac{E}{P}

Where E = energy = 3.03x10⁻¹⁹J

P = momentum = 1.01x10⁻²⁷kgm/s

Replacing:

C=\frac{3.03x10^{-19} }{1.01x10^{-27} } =3x10^{8} m/s

Does an object need a force to start moving
nadya68 [22]
Newton's first law actually states that a force isn't needed to keep an object moving, so no.
