A student is pedaling a stationary bicycle at the U of M Rec Center. Her alveolar PO2 = 115 mm Hg and her oxygen consumption is

1.0 liter/min. If the inspired PO2 = 150 mm Hg and the barometric pressure is 747 mm Hg, what is her alveolar ventilation?

Answer:

This is an alveolar gas equation question and it is used to approximate the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveolus (PAO2):

The equation states;

PₐO₂ = P₁O₂ - (PₐCO₂/R) = [(PB - PH₂O) × F₁O₂ - (PₐCO₂/R)]   ...................Eqn 1

where

PₐO₂ = Alveolar partial pressure of O2 = 115mmHg

P₁O₂ = Inspired partial pressure of O2 = 150mmHg

PB = barometric pressure,

PH₂O = Water vapor pressure (usually 747 mmHg),

F₁O₂ = fractional concentration of inspired oxygen,

and R = gas exchange ratio. (Usually around 0.8)

FₐO₂ = Fraction of alveolar O₂

(O₂) = 1L/min = 1dm³

From eqn 1. we have

PₐCO₂ = (P₁O₂ - PₐO₂)/R

   = (150 - 115)x0.8

PₐCO₂ = 28mmHg

Similarly from Eqn 1, we have

F₁O₂ = (PₐO₂ + PₐCO₂/R)/(PB - PH₂O)

F₁O₂ = (115 + (28/.8))/(747 - 47)

F₁O₂ = 0.21

Now to find the Alveolar Ventilation A, we will use this equation;

O₂ = A(F₁0₂ - FₐO₂)                                                                   .................Eqn 2

But FₐO₂ = PₐO₂/(PₐO₂ + PₐCO₂)

FₐO₂ = 115/ (115+28) = 0.8

A = O₂/(F₁0₂ - FₐO₂)

A = 0.001/(0.21 - 0.8)

A = 0.00169m³/min

Hence, the aveolar ventilation is 0.00169m³/min

) A satellite of mass m has an orbital period T when it is in a circular orbit of radius R around the earth. If the satellite in
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A) T.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the orbital period (T) of a satellite is related with the radius (R) and the mass of the object (M) it orbits:

T=\frac{2\pi R^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}  

So the orbital period is independent of the mass of the satellite, that means no matter the mass every satellite at a radius R around the earth have an orbital period A.

A solenoid with 3,000.0 turns is 70.0 cm long. If its self-inductance is 25.0 mH, what is its radius? (The value of μ0 is 4π x 1
nevsk [136]

Answer:

A. 2.2*10^-2m

Explanation:

Using

Area = length x L/ uo xN²

So A = 0.7m * 25 x 10^-3H /( 4π x10^-7*

3000²)

A = 17.5*10^-3/ 1.13*10^-5

= 15.5*10^-2m²

Area= π r ²

15.5E-2/3.142 = r²

2.2*10^2m

A car speeding down the highway honks its horn, which has a frequency 392 Hz, but a resting bystander hears the frequency 440 Hz
Natali [406]

Answer:

37.42 m/s

Explanation:

We know that apparent frequency, \bar f is given by

\bar f=f\frac {V}{V-V_s} where f is the given frequency in this case 392, V is the speed of sound in air which is given as 343 and V_s is the speed of car which is unknown, \bar f is given as 440 Hz

440=392\times \frac {343}{343-V_s}\\343-V_s=392\times \frac {343}{440}=305.5818182\\V_s=343-305.5818182=37.41818182\approx 37.42 m/s
