There is less oxygen in air at higher altitudes than at sea level. Scientists have shown that people living at sea level have 5

million red blood cells per mm3 of blood whereas people living at high altitude have 7 million red blood cells per mm3 of blood. Suggest a reason for this difference

Answer with Explanation:

"Red Blood Cells" <em>(RBCs)</em> contain <em>Hemoglobin</em> that is responsible for carrying oxygen into the body. When people are exposed to higher altitudes, <u>the number RBCs in the body increases</u>. This is because the body has a hard time taking in oxygen due to <u>low atmospheric pressure</u>. It makes it hard for oxygen to pass through the lung membranes. This is called "hypoxia." Such condition deprives the body from oxygen, thus, it creates more red blood cells in order to compensate the condition.

When it comes to people living at sea level,<em> the oxygen can easily pass through the lung membranes</em> due to <u>higher atmospheric pressure.</u> This doesn't require the body to build new RBCs. Therefore, the numbers of RBCs needed by people to thrive is lower than living at higher altitudes.

In a certain region of space, the electric potential is V(x,y,z)=Axy-Bx^2+Cy , where A,B , and C are positive constants.a) Calcu
laiz [17]

Answer:

a)  Eₓ = - A y + 2B x , b)  Ey = -Ax –C , c) Ez = 0 , d) The correct answer is 3

Explanation:

The electric field and the electric power are related

                    E = - dV / ds

a) Let's find the electric field on the x axis

                  Eₓ = - dV / dx

                  dV / dx = A y - B 2x

                  Eₓ = - A y + 2B x

b) calculate the electric field on the y-axis

                Ey = - dV / dy

                dV / dy = A x + C

                Ey = -Ax –C

c) the electric field on the z axis

              dv / dz = 0

              Ez = 0

.d) at which point the electric field is zero

Since the electric field is a vector quantity all components must be zero

X axis

              0 = = - A y + 2B x

              y = 2B / A x

Axis y

             0 = -Ax –C

              .x = -C / A

We substitute this value in the previous equation

             .y = 2B / A (-C / A)

             .y = 2 B C / A2

The correct answer is 3

The balmer series is formed by electron transitions in hydrogen that
RSB [31]

Answer:

The Balmer series refers to the spectral lines of hydrogen, associated to the emission of photons when an electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from a level n \geq 3 to the level n=2.

The wavelength associated to each spectral line of the Balmer series is given by:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{n^2})

where R_H is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen, and where n is the initial level of the electron that jumps to the level n = 2.

The first few spectral lines associated to this series are withing the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and their wavelengths are:

656 nm (red, corresponding to the transition 3 \rightarrow 2)

486 nm (green, 4 \rightarrow 2)

434 nm (blue, 5 \rightarrow 2)

410 nm (violet, 6 \rightarrow 2)

All the following lines lie in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. The limit of the Balmer series, corresponding to the transition \infty \rightarrow 2, is at 364.6 nm.
