What are the odds of nonsmokers developing cardiovascular disease when compared to smokers?

2 answers:

6 0

The probability ("odds") is smaller for nonsmokers when compared
to smokers.

If we had as much hard, reliable, repeatable, scientific evidence linking
cardiovascular disease with visits to the Empire State Building as we have
linking it with smoking, the Empire State Building would have been torn down
50 years ago.

Answer choices are:

a. Nonsmokers are four times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease.

b. Nonsmokers are twice as likely to develop cardiovascular disease.

c. Nonsmokers and smokers are equally likely to develop cardiovascular disease.

d. Nonsmokers are half as likely to develop cardiovascular disease.

____________________________________________________________

Correct answer choice is:

d. Nonsmokers are half as likely to develop cardiovascular disease.

Explanation:

The consequence of previous or existing smoking on specific CVD risk parameters such as blood pressure and cholesterol appears to be of clinically trivial importance in personalities aged 46 years. In additional terms, smoking appears to be beyond all an unconventional risk factor for CVD in the working-age people. Stopping smoking in working age may thus decrease estimated CVD risk approximately to the equivalent level as personages who have never smoked.

A physics student throws a softball straight up into the air. The ball was in the air for a total of 3.56 s before it was caught

meriva

Answer:

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

This is a case of an object which experiments a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected.

From statement we must understand that the student threw the softball upwards and it is caught at original position 3.56 seconds later. Initial and final heights, time and gravitational acceleration are known and initial speed is unknown. The following equation of motion is used:

$y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$y_{o}$ - Initial height of the softball, measured in meters.

$y$ - Final height of the softball, measured in meters.

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity of the softball, measured in meters per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $y = y_{o}$ , $t = 3.56\,s$ and $g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the initial velocity of the softball is:

$v_{o}\cdot (3\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,s)^{2} = 0$

$3\cdot v_{o} -44.132\,m= 0$

$v_{o} = 14.711\,\frac{m}{s}$

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.

Sholpan [36]

The frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

Given the following data:

Period = 1 day and 37 minutes.

To find the frequency of rotation in Hertz:

First of all, we would convert the the value of period in days and minutes to seconds because the period of oscillation of a physical object is measured in seconds.

Conversion:

1 day = 24 hours

24 hours to minutes = $60$ × $24$ = $1440$ minutes

$1440 + 37 = 1477 \; minutes$

1 minute = 60 seconds

1477 minute = X seconds

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 60$ × $1477$

X = 88620 seconds

Now, we can find the frequency of rotation of Mars by using the formula:

$Frequency = \frac{1}{Period}\\\\Frequency = \frac{1}{88620}$

Frequency of rotation = 0.0000113 Hertz

Therefore, the frequency of rotation of Mars is 0.0000113 Hertz.

A cat runs at 2 m/s for 3 s and then slows to a stop with an acceleration of 0.80 m/s2. What is

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

see that the correct one is B

Explanation:

To solve this exercise let us use the kinematic relations

v² = v₀² - 2 a x

as they indicate that the car stops, therefore the final speed is yield v = 0

x = v₀² / 2a

let's calculate

x = 2²/(2 0.8)

x = 2.5 m / s²

When reviewing the answers we see that the correct one is B

__________ carries carcinogens into the lungs

larisa [96]

Tobacco smoking is an unhealthy habit which can cause cancer due to the presence of more than 5000 chemicals, some of which are carcinogens (a chemical that causes cancer). It is the smoke itself, that carries carcinogens to the lungs and can eventually lead to the development of diseases such as lung cancer.

Why are dark matter and dark energy described as dark

zaharov [31]

Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect.
