Why do heavier people have a lower blood and alcohol level?

1 answer:

4 0

In general, the less you weigh the more you will be affected by a given amount of alcohol. Alcohol has a high affinity for water. Basically, one's blood alcohol concentration is a function of the total amount of alcohol in one's system divided by total body water. So for two individuals with similar body compositions and different weights, the larger individual will achieve lower alcohol concentrations than the smaller one if ingesting the same amount of alcohol.
<span>However, for people of the same weight, a well-muscled individual will be less affected than someone with a higher percentage of fat since fatty tissue does not contain very much water and will not absorb very much alcohol.</span>

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 222 kg and it

inn [45]

Answer:

The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of balloon = 222 Kg

Volume = 328 m³

Density of air = 1.20 kg/m³

Density of helium = 0.179 kg/m³

We need to calculate the buoyant force acting

Using formula of buoyant force

$F_{b}=\rho_{air}\times V_{b}\times g$

Where, $\rho_{air}$ = density of air

V = Volume of balloon

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$F_{b}=1.20\times321\times9.81$

$F_{b}=3778.8\ N$

This buoyant force is in upward direction.

Hence, The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

The overall length of a piccolo is 32.0 cm. The resonating air column vibrates as in a pipe that is open at both ends. (a) Find

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

Explanation:

given data

length L = 32 cm = 0.32 m

to find out

frequency and distance between adjacent anti nodes

solution

we consider here speed of sound through air at room temperature 20 degree is approximately v = 343 m/s

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{v}{2L}$ ..............1

put here value in equation 1

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{343}{2(0.32)}$

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

and

we have given highest frequency f = 4000Hz

wavelength = $\frac{v}{f}$ ..............2

put here value

wavelength = $\frac{343}{4000}$

wavelength = 0.08575 m

so distance = $\frac{wavelength}{2}$ ..............3

distance = $\frac{0.08575}{2}$

distance = 0.0425 m

so distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go

horrorfan [7]

The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

Which is a scalar quantity displacement distance force acceleration

cestrela7 [59]

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.

I hope this helps you.
