Exercise on Blood Pressure Katie Law-Balding June 28‚ 2010 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to see what effect 30 seconds of physical activity would have on a subject’s blood pressure. In this case‚ physical activity is defined as stair running at a moderate pace for 30 seconds. Standing blood pressure was measured before and after physical activity for comparison purposes. Three trials were completed and initial blood pressure was 94/75 mmHg‚ 125/92 mmHg‚ and 106/92 mmHg. Blood pressure

incompressible flow is used. However in the real case‚ the viscosity cannot be neglect and the density of the flow is not always constant. Thus Bernoulli’s equation is not always correct. For the lab‚ it is reasonable to assume the flow is inviscid and incompressible. Firstly‚ the pitot was placed at the center of the flow. The skin friction (effect of viscosity) is inversely proportional to distance. Therefore the effect of viscosity can be neglected in the pitot. Secondly‚ the speed of the flow is much

Viscosity Science Lab Purpose: To determine of changing the viscosity will affect the time it takes for a marble to flow through a liquid. Hypothesis: If a marble is dropped into dish soap and corn syrup‚ than I predict that the marble in the dish soap will travel faster than the marble in the corn syrup because I know that the viscosity of the corn syrup is thicker than then the viscosity of the dish soap. Also‚ the particles in the corn syrup are more compact than those in the dish soap

Blood is moved from the heart to the body by arteries. Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. With each heartbeat‚ blood is pumped into the arteries. Systolic pressure is determined when the heart is contracting which causes increased pressure in the arteries. Diastolic Blood pressure is the remaining pressure in the arteries when the ventricles of the heart is relaxed allowing the heart to fill with blood. Blood pressure is influenced by cardiac output

Blood Analysis: Computer Simulation Introduction Blood is a combination of plasma (watery liquid) and red and white blood cells as well as platelets. It is a specialized bodily fluid that supplies essential substances and nutrients‚ such as sugar‚ oxygen‚ and hormones to our cells. Blood analysis can determine how functions of the body are working and if they are working properly. The purpose of this lab is to understand how various ailments‚ locations‚ and blood types can affect blood analysis

Measuring the Viscosity of Motor Oil ME331 Laboratory Assignment #1 Prepared for: Prof. Sangeorzan Submitted by: Abstract An experiment was conducted to model the effect of temperature on the viscosity of motor oil and compare the results to commercial values established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for SAE 30‚ SAE 40 and SAE 5W30. The viscosity of the oil sample at eight temperatures between 20 °C and 55 °C was determined using a rotary Brookfield DV-II+ viscometer

of context‚ setting plot‚ and what was the crime. One is petty while the other disturbing. Both provoke certain emotions. The story of “Notes of a Native Son” is Baldwin had been arrested in France for stealing a bed sheet. Yet Capote in “In Cold Blood” relates a story of murdering an innocent family. The one that provoked more reaction to be overall is surprisingly Baldwin’s story particularly because of the fact it’s a story of a man suffering for theft that wasn’t his fault‚ and feel his emotions

Blood tests are commonly used by doctors and physicians for a variety of reasons to check the status of your overall health. They can be used to assess your red and white blood cell counts‚ check your hemoglobin levels‚ test you for anemia‚ and indicate diseases and cancer in the blood. What’s interesting about your blood is that it actually tells your doctor so much about your personality and your history. It is pretty wild that your doctor can get to know you well without even having to ask you
