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>

A is a hot object.  B is a cold object.  the two are brought into contact with each other so that heat is developed
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

A) Cold object will start getting hot

B) Heat exchange will stop as the two object acquire the same temperature.

Explanation:

A) When one hot object and one cold object are kept in contact then the heat is transferred from the hot object to the cold object via different modes of heat transmission. Hence, the cold object starts getting hot

B) The transmission of heat from the hot object to the cold object will stop as the temperature of the two object becomes equal to each other.

What are 3 different forces that act on objects on the earth ΩvΩ
Stolb23 [73]
A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Contact Forces

Action-at-a-Distance Forces

Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force


These are types of individual forces



Applied Force
Gravitational Force
Normal Force
Frictional Force

An aluminum wing on a passenger jet is 35 m long when its temperature is 17°C. At what temperature would the wing be 3 cm (0.03
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

53.32°C

Explanation:

Length of the aluminium wing = 35 m

Change in length of aluminium wing = 0.03 m

The linear expansion coefficient of aluminium \alpha =23.6\times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C

We know that change in length is given by \Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T

So 0.03=35\times 23.6\times 10^{-6}\Delta T

\Delta T=36.32^{\circ}C

So final temperature =T_I+\Delta T=17+36.32=53.3196^{\circ}C
