After chronic use, the need to administer more of a drug to achieve the same drug effect is known as

Which common neurotransmitter is implicated in the actions of botulinum toxin, curare, and black widow spider venom?

Which statement about drug clearance by first-order kinetics is false?

A block of unknown mass is attached to a spring of spring constant 8.1 N/m and undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.9 cm. When the mass is halfway between its equilibrium position and the endpoint, its speed is measured to be 26.4 cm/s. (a) Calculate the mass of the block. (b) Find the period of the motion. (c) Calculate the maximum acceleration of the block.

A gas expands from I to F in the figure below. The energy added to the gas by heat is 406 J when the gas goes from I to F along the diagonal path. (a) What is the change in internal energy of the gas? (b) How much energy must be added to the gas by heat for the indirect path IAF to give the same change in internal energy?  

A 129-kg block is released at a 5.6 m height as shown. The track is frictionless. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant equal to 1197 N/m. (a) Determine the speed of the block as it hits the spring. (b) Determine the compression of the spring from its equilibrium position when the block comes to rest momentarily.
