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

Physics
1 answer:
Ulleksa [173]3 years ago
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>

What would you do to improve the precision of an experiment?
GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Precision represents that how close the different measurements of the sample one take are to one another.

  • One can increase the precision in lab by paying attention to each and every detail.
  • Usage of the equipment properly and also increasing the sample size.
  • Ensuring that the equipment is calibrated properly. They should be clean and functioning. Using equipment which is not functioning correctly can cause results to swing wildly and also bits of the debris stuck to the equipment can influence the measurements of the mass and the volume.
  • Each measurement must be taken multiple times, especially if experiments in which combining of the substances in specific amounts is involved.

Is calculating the change of velocity the same as calculating acceleration? ​
koban [17]

Answer:

Yes! Thinking about it graphically a position vs time graph models meters per second in most cases, making every point on the line have the units m/s. If we want the find the slope we are finding the change between each point and those units would change to m/s/s or m/s^2 giving us the same units for acceleration. Simply put, slope of a velocity graph gives us acceleration.

A man on the moon throws a ball vertically upwards and it is noticed that the ball travels 3.0m less in the fifth second of its
sdas [7]
<h2>Acceleration due to gravity in moon is 1.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Here the ball travels 3 m less distance in fifth second compared to third second.

That is

           s₃ = s₅ + 3

Now we have

Distance traveled in third second, s₃ = u x 3 - 0.5 x g x 3² -  u x 2 - 0.5 x g x 2²

           s₃ = u - 2.5 g

Also

Distance traveled in fifth second, s₅ = u x 5 - 0.5 x g x 5² -  u x 4 - 0.5 x g x 4²

           s₅ = u - 4.5 g    

That is

           u - 2.5 g = u - 4.5 g + 3

             2 g = 3

                g = 1.5 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity in moon = 1.5 m/s²
