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

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum​
ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.

If the energies sound in the device is microphone what is the energy out
Katen [24]

Answer:

Microphones are a type of transducer - a device which converts energy from one form to another. Microphones convert acoustical energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (the audio signal). Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm.

Ditto sound waves espace room answers please I need this urgently ​
lord [1]

The actual question should be did the sound waves escape room?

Yes they can escape the room

  • Sound always needs a medium to travel through
  • If you close the room form all where that even air can't go outside you will be able to hear no sound coming from room .

A 50-kg satellite circles the Earth in an orbit with a period of 120 min. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to
uysha [10]

Answer: 2.94×10^8 J

Explanation:

Using the relation

T^2 = (4π^2/GMe) r^3

Where v= velocity

r = radius

T = period

Me = mass of earth= 6×10^24

G = gravitational constant= 6.67×10^-11

4π^2/GMe = 4π^2 / [(6.67x10^-11 x6.0x10^24)]

= 0.9865 x 10^-13

Therefore,

T^2 = (0.9865 × 10^-13) × r^3

r^3 = 1/(0.9865 × 10^-13) ×T^2

r^3 = (1.014 x 10^13) × T^2

To find r1 and r2

T1 = 120min = 120*60 = 7200s

T2 = 180min = 180*60= 10800s

Therefore,

r1 = [(1.014 x 10^13)7200^2]^(1/3) = 8.07 x 10^6 m

r2 = [(1.014 x 10^13)10800^2]^(1/3) = 10.57 x 10^6 m

Required Mechanical energy

= - GMem/2 [1/r2 - 1/r1]

= (6.67 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 10^24 * 50)/2 * [(1/8.07 × 10^-6 )- (1/10.57 × 10^-6)]

= (2001 x 10^7)/2 * (0.1239 - 0.0945)

= (1000.5 × 10^7) × 0.0294

= 29.4147 × 10^7 J

= 2.94 x 10^8 J.

How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

They are the same

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.
