What is a reason for the increased number of drug resistant bacteria being found in hospitals?

Physics

kirza4 [7]3 years ago

Actually it all comes about when we fail to complete certain doses of medication prescribed by doctors, for example, I have typhoid and I am given medication to help kill that bacteria I take half a dose and decide that I'm okay and the other half I discard it what happens is that the ”partially” killed bacteria now recognizes the drug I am using and adapts itself and its offspring to be resistant to that drug
Hence it is actually because of uncompleted medication

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right
V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

             g: Gravitational Acceleration

             θ: Angle with the vertical

             N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

                         g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R    

                         vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

                         vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

                        vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

                          ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                          0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

                          ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 =  vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

                          vi^2 = 22.744

                           vi = 4.77 ft/s

How does a large star create the elements? at what element does the star stop making new elements?
Dahasolnce [82]
They are fused in the core of the star due to great pressures and temperatures.  They are made all the way through iron.  At that point the star dies.  If it is a really large star it will become a supernova when it dies, creating all of the elements beyond iron as well, but only in its death.  No star can create anything beyond iron in its life cycle

Which is evidence that a convergent boundary once existed
Vladimir79 [104]

Volcanic islands, Mountain ranges

Explanation:

A convergent margin is plate boundary in which plates comes together. There are different types of interactions that occurs around a place where plate converges.

  • An ocean-continent convergence creates a subduction zone in which the denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental crust.
  • As the oceanic plate begins to subside, it can melt and form chains of volcanic island within the riding continents.
  • Also, where two plates of equal densities converge, none of them subsides and this leads to upbuilding.
  • The product can be seen as extensive mountain ranges on earth like the Andes and Himalayas.

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!
