@berkeman - Thank you! I'm earning my EMT certification this spring, and I expect that it won't be a major problem. However, I'm going to become a trauma surgeon-I have a few years to figure it out, but it's a concern. I know the cause, and it's pretty difficult to treat, so I'm looking more for...
I'm curious as to how physicians deal with shaking hands, especially during surgical procedures(minor or major). I'm sure that some of you find watching your caffeine intake and making sure that you eat enough helpful. But when that fails, what techniques do you use to stabilize your hands so...
Thanks! I got the values from my previous physics lessons. They are constants, as far as I know.
My first instinct was to calculate the mass using the equation for weight. However, at least as I understand, the person's' original mass cancels out, leaving me with the other information to...
I didn't. I somehow managed to type a 2 instead of a 6, even though the keys are nowhere near each other. Sorry for the confusion! Now it's a little concerning to me that others agreed when I typed the wrong number.
Homework Statement
A person on Earth weighs 750N. What would the person weigh on a planet with 1.2 times the radius and 1.9 times the mass?
Homework Equations
mg=Gmme/re2
The two ms cancel, leaving:
g=Gme/re2
The Attempt at a Solution
Since the two ms cancel out, I thought that the...
Homework Statement
A person standing on the surface of a planet has a weight of 250 N. Suppose he goes to another planet that is the same size(volume) but twice the mass(more dense). What would his weight be on the second planet?
Homework Equations
g=Gme/re2
