Tridil is infusing at 15 ml/hr on an infusion pump. The drug is mixed 50 mg in 500 ml D5W. How many MCG/minute is the patient re

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

patient receiving drug 25 MCG/minute

Explanation:

given data

infusing = 15 ml/hr

drug = 50 mg

D5W = 500 ml

to find out

How many MCG/minute

solution

we know infusing rate is 15 ml/hr = 0.25 ml/min

so 0.25 ml drug content = 50 /500 × 0.25

0.25 ml drug content = 0.025 mg

so here

rate of drug will be 0.025 mg

rate of drug = 0.025 mg = 25 × $10^{-6}$ gm/min

rate of drug = 25 MCG/minute

so patient receiving drug 25 MCG/minute

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = $\frac{4m}{2} x^2 + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2$

T = $4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy$

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = $-4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant$

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

$L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant$

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange equation = $4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0$

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

A car traveling at 14 m/s accelerates at 3.5 m/s² for 5 seconds. How much distance does it travel during that time?

Rainbow [258]

Answer: 113.75

Explanation:

You know

acceleration = a = 3.5 m/s²

time = t = 5 seconds

initial velocity = u = 14 m/s

Unknown is distance = s = ?

Use equation: s = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ at²

Substitute all the known values inside the equation:

s = (14*5) + 0.5 * 3.5 * 5²

s = 70 + 43.75 = 113.75 m

The car travels 113.75 metres.

A block of mass m = 1.00 kg is attached to a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m. The block is pulled to a position xi= 5.00 cm

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The speed of the block is 4.96 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that.

Mass of block = 1.00 kg

Spring constant = 500 N/m

Position $x_{i}=5.00\ cm$

Coefficient of friction = 0.350

(A). We need to calculate the speed the block has as it passes through equilibrium if the horizontal surface is friction less

Using formula of kinetic energy and potential energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2-\mu mgx$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.00\times v^2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times500\times(5.00\times10^{-2})-0.350\times1.00\times9.8\times5.00\times10^{-2}$

$v^2=\dfrac{2\times12.3285}{1.00}$

$v^2=24.657$

$v=4.96\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the block is 4.96 m/s.
