- The immediate cause of many deaths is ventricular fibrillation, an uncoordinated quivering of the heart, as opposed to proper beating. An electric shock to the chest can cause momentary paralysis of the heart muscle, after which the heart will sometimes start organized beating again. A defibrillator is a device that applies a strong electric shock to the chest over a time of a few milliseconds. The device contains a capacitor of a few microfarads, charged to several thousand volts. Electrodes called paddles, about 8 cm across and coated with conducting paste, are held against the chest on both sides of the heart. Their handles are insulated to prevent injury to the operator, who calls Clear! and pushes a button on one paddle to discharge the capacitor through the patient's chest Assume an energy of 3.00 102 W s is to be delivered from a 30.0-F capacitor.

- True or False A moving charge entering a magnetic field parallel to the field will move in a straight line. A man whose resistance is 10,000 Ω has 120 volt potential difference across his body. This would cause a fatal shock. Adding resistors to a parallel circuit decreases the equivalent resistance. The resistance of a resistor increases with decreased temperature The terminal voltage (V) of a battery is always less than its EMF (ξ).

First, a very short laser pulse vaporizes and ionizes a bacterial sample. The positive ions are accelerated, in vacuum, through a -15 kV potential difference, and then they travel at constant speed through a 1.5-m-long drift tube to a detector that records their arrival times. An ion's time of flight depends on its mass, so a record of the arrival times can be used to determine the masses of the biomolecules that were released from the bacteria. Each type of bacteria has a unique set of proteins with different masses, so the mass spectrum is a fingerprint for identifying bacteria. Part A What is the mass in kDa of an ionized protein that is detected 51 us after the laser pulse? You can assume that the protein is singly ionized (g = +e) which is mostly true in practice. You can also neglect the time needed to accelerate through the potential difference because it is very small…arrow_forward
