Physics
1 answer:
Mrac [35]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

Explanation:

<em>Specific gravity is also known as relative density.</em>

<u>To find the relative density of substance, you:</u>

  • Divide the density of substance measured
  • And divide that by the density of the reference

You are launching a 2 kg potato out of a potato cannon. The cannon is 2.0 m long and is aimed 70 degrees above the horizontal. I
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The net force on the potatoes is given by:

F= 52 - mgSintheta

F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)

F = 52 -18.4

F= 33.58N

Using Newton's 2nd law

F = ma

a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2

Using the equation of motion:

V^2= u^2 + 2as

V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2

V^2 = 67.16

V=sqrt(68.16)

V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes

Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2

KE = 67.16J

An old light bulb draws only 54.3 W, rather than its original 60.0 W, due to evaporative thinning of its filament. By what facto
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of old light bulb = 54.3 W

Power = 60 W

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}

P\propto D^2

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}

\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95

D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Why is it important for you to understand the basics of organ systems?
marissa [1.9K]
This question can have ALOT of answers but ill leave you with these summed up points and you can take what you need from it they are get right to the point! Sorry if they long paragraphs scare you lol




*You want to provide patients the best care possible. Most often your patients will have a disease. Diseases result when there is something abnormal in the anatomy and physiology of a structure. With a car, you can’t understand how to fix an engine if you don’t know how it works. The same is true with your patients. You can’t really understand how to treat them or why the treatment works, if you don’t understand how the effected body system normally functions.

*Patients will want to understand their diseases. In order to help them understand what is going wrong, you have to first understand how a particular organ is supposed to work. In addition, you will need to be able to explain these things to patients in a way that they can understand. If you don’t understand it well, you won’t be able to explain it. Your patient’s confidence in your ability will be at least partially determined by your ability to discuss what you are doing and why you are doing it. You will need to look up information if you are not sure.

*Organ systems are so interconnected that a disease in one system may result in a symptom in another system. Without seeing the normal interconnectedness, you cannot fully understand the disease.


*Success in an allied health field requires at least three things. First, you must have the personality to be able to support and help patients. Secondly, you must have the scientific and technical knowledge necessary to make the correct decisions regarding patient care. Thirdly, you must have the clinical skills necessary to implement this kno
