The average 70 kg (150 lb) being has 5.5 L of blood (1.05 g/mL). How many 1 oz drinks of 20% alcohol by volume (40 proof) must b

e consumed for the blood alcohol content (BAC) to exceed 0.1 (BAC is g alcohol per 100 mL blood)? Assume that all of the alcohol consumed goes directly into the blood.

Answer:

The total blood given is 5.5 liters

Thus, total alcohol needed for BAC (blood alcohol content) to exceed 0.1 gram per 100 ml will be 0.1/100 × 5500 = 5.5 grams alcohol.

1 oz = 28.3 grams

28.3 gram water = 28.3 ml

It has 20 percent alcohol by volume,

Therefore, alcohol in one drink will be:

20/100 × 28.3

= 5.66 ml

= 5.66 × 0.79 (density of ethanol)

= 4.47 gram

Thus, no of drinks will be 5.5 g / 4.47 g = 1.2

Hence, 1.2 drinks will make the BAC to exceed 0.1 g / 100 ml in the blood.

The all-or-none phenomenon as applied to nerve conduction states that the whole nerve cell must be stimulated for conduction to
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Nerve impulse must reach a certain threshold in a neuron before action potential can be generated to intiate conduction of action potential.

Therefore if mutiple impulses are generated and these are not upto thresholds , no matter how strong the stimulI are-NO ACTION POTENTIAL WILL BE GENERATED.

THIS IS ALL OR NONE PRINCIPLE

The all or none hypotheses can be best explain with flushing of the water closet after using it. If required volume of water is not pumped into the water closet storage above, no matter how long the handle is push, FLUSHING WILL NOT TAKE PLACE.Thus the threshold volume of water must be met.

devlian [24]

Answer:

I would expect that the sample has only 50% of the original 235 U.

Explanation:

That is because 235 U has a half-life of 700 million years and I expect that my sample be 350 million years old. 350 is half of 700.

If an object has 100 joules of potential energy at the top of a ramp. How much kinetic energy will there be at the other two pla
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

As the diagram for the question is not given, lets answer the question generally.

Explanation:

Energy in a system is neither created nor destroyed. Yet, the energy can be changed from one form to another. If in the beginning, at a point a,  an object has a potential energy of 100 joules, then at point b the kinetic energy of the object will be subtracted from the total  100 joules of energy present in the beginning. This is because the potential energy will be being changed to the kinetic energy and no new energy will be created or destroyed.
