What could contribute to an inaccurate vital sign reading?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>Lack of training in getting the vital sign or worst, not knowing the right way to take the vital sign could contribute to an inaccurate vital sign reading. For example, if you are tasked to get the respiration of the patient, the rule is to count inhale and exhale as one. But if you were not able to know this rule, and you counted inhale as one and exhale as another, this could impair the vital reading. </span>

A 1.90-m-long barbell has a 25.0 kg weight on its left end and a 37.0 kg weight on its right end. if you ignore the weight of th

gregori [183]

Answer: The center of gravity is 1.1338 m away from the left side of the barbell

Explanation:

Length of the barbell = 1.90 m

The distance center of gravity from left = x

Mass on the left side = 25 kg

The distance center of gravity from right = 1.90 - x

Mass on the right side = 37 kg

At the balance point: $m_1x_1=m_2x_2$

$25 kg\times x=37 kg\times (1.90-x)$

$x=1.1338 m$

The center of gravity is 1.1338 m away from the left side of the barbell

If a pebble is being transported in a stream by rolling, how does the velocity of it compare to the velocity of the stream?

AleksandrR [38]

Streams carry sediment, like pebbles, in their flows. The pebbles can be in a variety of locations in the flow, depending on it's size, the balance between the upwards velocity on the pebble (drag and lift forces), and it's settling velocity.

The train passes point A with a speed of 30 m/s and begins to decrease its speed at a constant rate of at = - 0.25 m/s^2. Determ

prisoha [69]

Explanation:

At point B, the velocity speed of the train is as follows.

$\nu^{2}_{B} = \nu^{2}_{A} + 2a_{t} (s_{B} - s_{A})$

= $(30)^{2} + 2(-0.25(412 - 0))$

= 26.34 m/s

Now, we will calculate the first derivative of the equation of train.

y = $200 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

Now, second derivative of the train is calculated as follows.

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

$\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = 0.2 (10^{-3}) e^{\frac{x}{1000}}$

Radius of curvature of the train is as follows.

$\rho = \frac{[1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}$

= $\frac{[1 + 0.2e^{\frac{400}{1000}}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{0.2(10^{-3})e^{\frac{400}{1000}}}$

= 3808.96 m

Now, we will calculate the normal component of the train as follows.

$a_{n} = \frac{\nu^{2}_{B}}{\rho}$

= $\frac{(26.34)^{2}}{3808.96}$

= 0.1822 $m/s^{2}$

The magnitude of acceleration of train is calculated as follows.

a = $\sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} + (a_{n})^{2}}$

= $\sqrt{(-0.25)^{2} + (0.1822)^{2}}$

= $0.309 m/s^{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the acceleration of the train when it reaches point B, where sAB = 412 m is $0.309 m/s^{2}$ .

A certain unfiltered full-wave rectifier with 120 V, 60 Hz input produces an output with a peak of 15 V. When a capacitor-input

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The peak-to-peak ripple voltage = 2V

Explanation:

120V and 60 Hz is the input of an unfiltered full-wave rectifier

Peak value of output voltage = 15V

load connected = 1.0kV

dc output voltage = 14V

dc value of the output voltage of capacitor-input filter

where

V(dc value of output voltage) represent V₀

V(peak value of output voltage) represent V₁

V₀ = 1 - ( $\frac{1}{2fRC}$ )V₁

make C the subject of formula

V₀/V₁ = 1 - (1 / 2fRC)

1 / 2fRC = 1 - (v₀/V₁)

C = 2fR ((1 - (v₀/V₁))⁻¹

Substitute for,

f = 240Hz , R = 1.0Ω, V₀ = 14V , V₁ = 15V

C = 2 * 240 * 1 (( 1 - (14/15))⁻¹

C = 62.2μf

The peak-to-peak ripple voltage

= (1 / fRC)V₁

= 1 / ( (120 * 1 * 62.2) )15V

= 2V

The peak-to-peak ripple voltage = 2V
