Answer: 3.75 mg

Explanation:

We need a dose of 2.50 mg per square meter of BSA, and we also know that the BSA of the child is 1.50 m^2, then if the dosage should be 2.50mg for one m^2, for 1,5 m^2 we should administrate an amount of:

D = 1.5 m^2*(2.50mg/m^2) = 1.5*2.5 mg = 3.75 mg

How does a mirage occur in a deser?explain with a labelled diagram.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mirages happen when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.

Explanation:

They happen when light passes through two layers of air with different temperatures. The desert sun heats the sand, which in turn heats the air just above it. The hot air bends light rays and reflects the sky.

When you see it from a distance, the different air masses colliding with each other act as a mirror.

Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3. Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where
$v=r \omega$
giving
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2$

The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
$I_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
$E_{rot}= \frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2= \frac{1}{4}mr^2 \omega ^2$
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
$\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2(1+ \frac{1}{2})$
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part. Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.

A flatbed truck is supported by its four drive wheels, and is moving with an acceleration of 6.3 m/s2. For what value of the coe

Levart [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642

Explanation:

We have given acceleration $a=6.3m/sec^2$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We have to find the coefficient of static friction between truck and a cabinet will

We know that acceleration is equal to $a=\mu g$ , here $\mu$ is coefficient of static friction and g is acceleration due to gravity

So $\mu =\frac{a}{g}=\frac{6.3}{9.8}=0.642$

So coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642

A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 7.70 m/s, from a height of 30.2 m. After what time interval does it

KatRina [158]

Answer:

$t = 1.82$

Explanation:

Given

$u = 7.70m/s$ -- initial velocity

$s = 30.2m$ --- height

Required

Determine the time to hit the ground

This will be solved using the following motion equation.

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where

$g = 9,8m/s^2$

So, we have:

$30.2 = 7.70t + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2$

$30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2$

Subtract 30.2 from both sides

$30.2 -30.2 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2$

$0 = 7.70t + 4.9 * t^2 - 30.2$

$0 = 7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2$

$7.70t + 4.9t^2 - 30.2 = 0$

$4.9t^2 + 7.70t - 30.2 = 0$

Solve using quadratic formula:

$t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Where

$a = 4.9;\ b = 7.70;\ c = -30.2$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{7.70^2 - 4*4.9*-30.2}}{2*4.9}$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±\sqrt{651.21}}{9.8}$

$t = \frac{-7.70\±25.52}{9.8}$

Split the expression

$t = \frac{-7.70+25.52}{9.8}$ or $t = \frac{-7.70-25.52}{9.8}$

$t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}$ or $t = -\frac{33.22}{9.8}$

Time can't be negative; So, we have:

$t = \frac{17.82}{9.8}$

$t = 1.82$

Hence, the time to hit the ground is 1.82 seconds
