Answer:

3.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the free-fall acceleration on the planet.

Calling L the length of the pendulum, we know that:

T_e = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_e}}=1.50 s is the period of the pendulum on Earth, and g_e = 9.8 m/s^2 is the free-fall acceleration on Earth

T_m = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_m}}=2.45 s is the period of the pendulum on Mars, and g_m = ? is the free-fall acceleration on Mars

Dividing the two expressions we get

\frac{T_e}{T_m}=\sqrt{\frac{g_m}{g_e}}

And re-arranging it we can find the value of the free-fall acceleration on Mars:

g_m = g_e \frac{T_e^2}{T_m^2}=(9.8 m/s^2)\frac{(1.50 s)^2}{(2.45 s)^2}=3.7 m/s^2

Why is it important for you to understand the basics of organ systems?
marissa [1.9K]
This question can have ALOT of answers but ill leave you with these summed up points and you can take what you need from it they are get right to the point! Sorry if they long paragraphs scare you lol




*You want to provide patients the best care possible. Most often your patients will have a disease. Diseases result when there is something abnormal in the anatomy and physiology of a structure. With a car, you can’t understand how to fix an engine if you don’t know how it works. The same is true with your patients. You can’t really understand how to treat them or why the treatment works, if you don’t understand how the effected body system normally functions.

*Patients will want to understand their diseases. In order to help them understand what is going wrong, you have to first understand how a particular organ is supposed to work. In addition, you will need to be able to explain these things to patients in a way that they can understand. If you don’t understand it well, you won’t be able to explain it. Your patient’s confidence in your ability will be at least partially determined by your ability to discuss what you are doing and why you are doing it. You will need to look up information if you are not sure.

*Organ systems are so interconnected that a disease in one system may result in a symptom in another system. Without seeing the normal interconnectedness, you cannot fully understand the disease.


*Success in an allied health field requires at least three things. First, you must have the personality to be able to support and help patients. Secondly, you must have the scientific and technical knowledge necessary to make the correct decisions regarding patient care. Thirdly, you must have the clinical skills necessary to implement this kno

If you hold your hand over a pot of boiling water, it feels hot. Explain how the boiling water is transforming heat to your hand
MakcuM [25]

I don't no if this helps but the body heat from your hand causes the liquid to boil, which in turn makes the liquid evaporate, turning it to gas. The expanding gas pushes the liquid upwards and when you release your hand, equilibrium is re-established.

Compute the power output (watts) during one minute of treadmill exercise, given the following: Treadmill grade-10% Horizontal sp
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

c. 981 watts

P=981\ W

Explanation:

Given:

  • horizontal speed of treadmill, v=100\ m.min^{-1}=\frac{5}{3} \ m.s^{-1}
  • weight carried, w=588.6\ N
  • grade of the treadmill, G\%=10\%

<u>Now the power can be given by:</u>

P=v.w

P=588.6\times\frac{5}{3} (where grade is the rise of the front edge per 100 m of the horizontal length)

P=981\ W
