In 1896, S. Riva-Rocci developed the prototype of the current sphygmomanometer, a device used to measure blood pressure. When it

was worn as a cuff around the upper arm and inflated, the air pressure within the cuff was connected to a mercury manometer. The density of mercury is 13,550 kg/m3. Assume all pressures are gage pressures Part A The reading for the high (or systolic) pressure is 120 mm. Determine this pressure in pascals and psi. Express your answers using three significant figures separated by a comma. pPa, ppsi = nothing Pa, psi Request Answer Part B The reading for the low (or diastolic) pressure is 80 mm. Determine this pressure in pascals and psi. Express your answers using three significant figures separated by a comma. pPa, ppsi = nothing Pa, psi

Answer:

Explanation:

A pressure that causes the Hg column to rise 1 millimeter is called a torr. The term 1 mmHg used can replaced by the torr.

1 atm = 760 torr = 14.7 psi.

A.

120 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

120 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 120

= 2.32 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

120 mmHg = 120 * 133.322

= 15998.4 Pa

B.

80 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

80 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 80

= 1.55 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

80 mmHg = 80 * 133.322

= 10665.6 Pa

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

At which type of boundary between two tectonic plates is an earthquake or a tsunami most likely to form?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

B. convergent boundary

Explanation:

Convergent boundaries, where ocean plates are subducted at trenches, produce the most tsunamis because they produce the largest earthquakes

classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 128 feet per
ddd [48]

Answer:

t_1 = 0.28 s

t_2 = 7.72 s

Explanation:

Given that height of the projectile as a function of time is

h = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112

here we know that

h = 147 ft

so from above equation

147 = -16 t^2 + 128 t + 112

16 t^2 - 128 t + 35 = 0

now by solving above quadratic equation we know that

t_1 = 0.28 s

t_2 = 7.72 s

Question 1 of 10
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Option D. ²²²₉₀Th

Explanation:

Let the unknown be ⁿₘZ. Thus, the equation becomes:

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₘZ

Next, we shall determine n, m and Z. This can be obtained as follow:

For n:

226 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

226 – 4 = n

222 = n

n = 222

For m:

92 = 2 + m

Collect like terms

92 – 2 = m

90 = m

m = 90

For Z:

ⁿₘZ => ²²²₉₀Z => ²²²₉₀Th

Therefore, the complete equation becomes:

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₘZ

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ²²²₉₀Th

Thus, the unknown is ²²²₉₀Th
