Lecture 1 Flashcards
Newton’s first lawis known as:
law of inertia
Newton’s first law states
A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by another force.
Newton’s second lawis known as:
law of acceleration
Newton’s second law states
Acceleration of a body is in the direction of and proportional to the force (F), and that acceleration (a) is inverse to the mass (m) of the body,F = ma.If multiple forces exist, the direction and acceleration are proportional to the sum of all the forces. These are calledvectors.
Which of newtons law describes vectors?
2nd law
Newton’s third lawis known as:
law of reciprocal action
Newton’s third law states
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Objects exert equal but opposite forces on one another.
Force
a push or pull
mass multiplied by acceleration
the energy required to move an object
The strongest pulling force is:
gravity
formula for force:
F = ma
What is gravity (numerically)?
9.81 N
How is force measured (units)
Newton
or dyne if very small
Newton (N) means:
force of gravity applied to 1 kg weight 1m/sec
equal to the force that would give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second
Dyne:
force of gravity applied to 1 gram weight 1cm/sec
the force that would give a mass of one gram an acceleration of one centimeter per second
1 newton = ____ dyne
100,000 dynes
2 clinical examples of things we measure in dynes:
SVR and PVR
Pulmonary vascular resistance:
the force against which flow from the right ventricle must overcome for blood to enter pulmonary artery.
Systemic vascular resistance:
the peripheral vascular force the left ventricle must overcome for blood to enter the aorta and circulate to body
What happens in CHF in respect to force?
the force that the ventricle is working against changes the way the ventricle works and looks, increased SVR
Pressure formula:
pressure = force/area
If you decrease the area and maintain same pressure, will force increase, decrease, or stay same?
also decrease, based on pressure = force/area
Pressure increases when force ______ or area ______
force increases or area decreases
Pressure decreases when force ______ or area ______
force decreases or area increases
force and area are ______ (inversely/directly) related
directly
PSI stands for
pounds per square inch
what in clinical practice is measured in PSI?
gas cylinder
Conversions: 1 kPa = ___ Pa
1000 Pa
Conversions: 1 atm = ___ torr
760 torr
Conversions: 1 atm = ___ mmHg
760 mmHg
Conversions: 1 atm = ___ bar
1.013 bar
