Answer:

Magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium

Explanation:

Chronic alcoholism induces renal tubular dysfunction leading to loss of renal Magnesium called Hypomagnesemia. This state often induce peripheral resistance to parathyroid hormone leading to hypocalcemia (reduction of calcium). There is equally loss of or reduction in gastrointestinal absorption causing reduction in phosphate. Magnesium reduction also contribute to reduction in potassium. The reduction in magnesium has been attributed to dysrhythmias

sdas [7]

Answer:

x_{3}=2.35

Explanation:

Given x^2-2x-1=0,x_1=2

From Newton's method

x_{n+1}=x_n-\dfrac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}

f(x)=x^2-2x-1

f'(x)=2x-2

Now

x_{2}=x_1-\dfrac{f(x_1)}{f'(x_1)}

f(x)=x^2-2x-1

f(2)=2^2-2\times 2-1

f(x)=-1

f'(2)=2x-2

f'(1)=2\times 2-2

f'(1)=2

x_{2}=2+\dfrac{1}{2}

x_{2}=2.5

x_{3}=x_2-\dfrac{f(x_2)}{f'(x_2)}

f(2.5)=2.5^2-2\times 2.5-1

f(2.5)=0.45

f'(2.5)=2\times 2.5-2

f'(2.5)=3

x_{3}=2.5-\dfrac{0.45}{3}

So

x_{3}=2.35

Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a ligh
guapka [62]

Answer:

This is because the acceleration of objects due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object and is constant for all objects, therefore, all objects fall with the same speed.

Explanation:

The weight of an object or force of gravity acting on an object on the surface of earth is a product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically, w = mg

where, m=mass of the object; g = acceleration due to gravity

Also, from newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force on the object ,F = GMm/r²

where G is the gravitational constant; M is mass of Earth; m is mass of object; r is the distance of separation between the object and the center of mass of the earth which is approximately the radius of earth.

Since the weight of an object is equal to the force of gravitation acting on it

W = F

mg = GMm/r²

g = GM/r²

The expression above is that of the relationship between the force of gravity acting on a body on the earth's surface, the weight of that body and the acceleration due to gravity, g.

It can be seen that the acceleration due to gravity g is independent of the mass of the object. Therefore, the acceleration of objects due to gravity is constant for all objects and all objects fall with the same speed.
