Suppose someone joins a group to combat climate change, with the goal of drastically reducing carbon emissions.. This person cares the most about the goal of the group, and isn’t in it for friendship, networking, newsletters, or discounts. Which benefit is more closely associated with this person’s membership in the group?

The term “fake news” or misinformation is most accurately characterized as

A client taking spirolactone  has orders for sodium polystyrene sulfonate 15 grams PO in 90 ml. water 3 times daily. What would be the total daily dose of sodium polystyrene sulfonate?

The patient is receiving 3L O2 via nasal cannula.  What is the total percent of oxygen the patient is receiving.

What classic sign would the nurse, auscultating the breath sounds of a child hospitalized for an acute asthma attack,  expect to find?

A block is sliding down an inclined plane. In which diagram below does the arrow correctly show the direction of the normal force on the block?

You are pushing a 20 kg box across the floor. Your arms (and therefore the force you are using) is angled downwards at 20O below horizontal. If the coefficient of friction is 0.2 and the box is accelerating at 1 m/s2 in the direction you are pushing, what is the magnitude of the force you use?  

Two objects with a string connecting them are sliding up a wall. Someone is pressing each object against the wall with a force as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction is 0.2, what is the force of tension in the string?

Fill in the blanks: According to Kepler, the shape of a planet’s orbit around the Sun is [c1] with the Sun at [c2].  

Short answer: Show work for partial credit. An object is sliding on a 40O inclined plane with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25.   What is the acceleration when it slides up the plane?
