nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Metabolic alkalosis (D). A pH of 7.48 shows slight alkalinity, this normal concentration of Co2 in the blood ranges from 35 mmHg (millimetre Mercury) to 45 mmHg and the normal HCo3 ( Hydrogen trioxo carbonate ion) concentration ranges from 22mEq/L to 26mEq/L.

Therefor the patients pH level is high the Co2 level is normal and the HCo3 level is high. Hence, Metabolic alkalosis

The kinetic energy of an object depends on what?
liraira [26]
It depends on "Potential Energy", the amount energy it could have, the amount depending on certain circumstances, like height or force. This was how traditional and some modern rollercoasters work. As the "conveyer belt" pulls you up, the higher you go, the more potential energy you have. Once you are falling down the hill, you are experiencing "Kinetic Energy". Hope it makes sence.

A person who normally weighs 580 N is riding in an elevator that is moving upward, but slowing down at a steady rate. If this pe
Zanzabum

Answer:

M au = Fs - M g       au = upwards acceleration; Fs = scale reading

Fs = M (au + g)    scalar quantities where g is positive downwards and au is positive upwards - Fs is the net force acting on the person

If the acceleration is zero Fs = M g  and the scale reads the persons weight

If the elevator is decelerating then au is negative and the scale reading     Fs = (g - au) M     and the scale reading is less than the weight of the person
