When is systolic pressure measured? When is diastolic pressure measured?

1 answer:

3 0

Systolic pressure is measured when the heart beats and the muscles are contracted. Diastolic Pressure is to measure the pressure on blood vessels when the muscles of the heart are relaxing.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Blood pressure is the pressure that is put on blood vessels and the heart muscles when it is pumping blood. The blood pressure can be categorized as high and low. Both of them come with medical consequence and require attention and treatment.

The measurement of blood pressure contains two values:

Systolic Blood Pressure: When the blood is being pumped through the heart, a certain amount of pressure is applied on the arteries and contracted muscles of the heart. The pressure is measured to check if a person has a risks of heart strokes or attacks as well as kidney failures.

Diastolic Blood Pressure: When the blood is being pumped through the heart, a certain amount of pressure is applied on the blood vessels when the muscles are relaxing. The pressure is measured to prevent lack of oxygen that may cause severe damage to brain, heart and normal functionality of the individual.

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?

hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

$P = I^2R$

make I subject of the formula we have

$I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }$

substitute

$I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps$

'N' is labelled 'runoff'. That's when the water is down. Streets are wet, worms come out of the ground, and water flows down the street to the sewer.

Which formula describes acceleration? m/s^2 m/s s/m m2

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

m/s^2

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

kgm/s^2 = kg × acceleration

where acceleration = Force ÷ mass

= kg m/s^2 ÷ kg

:Acceleration = m/s^2

If the same pressure is exerted over a greater area will more of less force result? Group of answer choices :

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Pressure and force are related by the equation:

$p=\frac{F}{A}$

where

p is the pressure

F is the force

A is the area

We can re-arrange the equation as

$F=pA$

In this problem, the pressure is kept the same (p' = p) while the area is increased. As we can see from the previous equation, the force applied is directly proportional to the area: therefore, a greater area means also a greater force.
