In a person infected with measles, the virus level N (measured in number of infected cells per ml of blood plasma) reaches a peak density at about t = 12 days (when a rash appears) and then decreases fairly rapidly as a result of immune response. The area under the graph of N(t), the t-axis, and the lines t = 0 tot = 12, (as shown in the figure) is equal to the total amount of infection needed to develop symptoms (measured in density of infected cells x time).

A study fonds that the metabolic rate of mamals is proportional to the mass of the mamal carried to the exponent of (3/4). By what factor does the metabolic rate of a 70.0 kg human exceed that of a 6.30 kg cat?\ 70.0 3/4 kg = 6.09 6.303/4 kg I set up the values as a ratio and came up with 6.09. OK, I answered my own question. That is the correct answer.
Paperweight I bought a pack of 100 rectangular index cards. Each card measured 15 by 10 cm. The pack said ：Paper Density = 200 GSM (grams per square meter). This means that a square meter of those cards weighs 200 g. A) All of the cards in the pack are place flat on a table without overlap. In square meters, what is the total area of the table covered by the cards? B) Each pack of cards is wrapped in a sheet of 50 GSM paper with an area of 800cm squared. I have a number of packs and wish to store them on a shelf that cannot hold more than 10 kg. What is the largest whole number of wrapped packs that can be stored? C) The total weight of 500 identical sheets of paper is 2.4kg. If each sheet measures 30cm by 20cm, what is its paper density in GSM? D) A business card measures 55mm by 90mm. Its paper density is 300 GSM. Fins its exact weight in grams.
A person's blood pressure is measured to be: 115 ± 7 mm Hg. What is its percent uncertainty? (Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures and proper units. Use unrounded values in your calculations.)
the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?
Although human lung capacity is about 3 liters per lung, the tidal volume, representing the amount of air that is breathed in and out with each breath is much -3 less, typically about 250 cm7 per lung. The cycle of inhalation and exhalation during normal activity can be represented as a sine curve, as shown in the figure below, where the amount of air in each lung before inhalation begins is about 1.09 liters (the functional residual capacity of the lung) and the time on the horizontal axis has been calculated with the average adult breathing rate of 16 breaths per minute. Volume of air in lungs (L) 1.34 1.09 mm minimum height maximum height 15 We can model each lung as a cylinder of radius 5.95 cm in which one end cap is free to move up and down, increasing and decreasing the volume of the model lung during the breathing process. (a) Using the data above, calculate the minimum and maximum heights (in cm) of the model lung during the breathing process. (Round your answers to at least…

If the density (mass divided by volume) of the wall material is the same as that of pure water, what is the mass (in mgmg) of the cell wall, assuming the cell to be spherical and the wall to be a very thin spherical shell?
The water is safe to drink if the number of cells falls below 10 cells/mL. It is 8 a.m. and you have 100,000 cells/mL with D being 15 minutes. You add the bleach to the tank. At what time can you release the water? Log Nt = Log N0 – t/D. D is the time required for a log kill.
