#1
Front (Question)

Force

Back (Answer)

That which changes or tends to change the state of rest or motion of an object Push or pull on an object Vector - direction and magnitude Type of energy = Mass (kg) · Acceleration (m/s^2 ) = (kg · m)/s^2 Newtons (N) (g · cm)/s^2 = Dyne SVR/PVR

#2
Front (Question)

Work

Back (Answer)

Measurement of the amount of change a force produces when it acts on an object/body = Force · Distance (displacement) = (Mass · Acceleration) · Distance = kg · (m/s^2 ) · m = Newton · meters = (kg 〖· m〗^2 )/s^2 = 1 Joule (J)

#3
Front (Question)

Total Energy

Back (Answer)

Kinetic + Potential energy Internal energy of system = sum potential and kinetic energy in the particles w/in the system Energy - the currency of force Capacity to do work (measured in ft lbs) Measured in Joules

#4
Front (Question)

Kinetic Energy

Back (Answer)

= (Mass ·(Velocity)^2 )/2 OR Mass · (Velocity)^2 · 0.5 Energy of motion - energy a mass possesses by being in motion Measured in Joules

#5
Front (Question)

Potential Energy

Back (Answer)

= Mass · 9.8 m/s^2 · Height = kg · 9.8 m/s^2 · m = (kg ·〖 m〗^2 )/s^2 = Joule Energy of height (gravity impact) *stored for later use* Example: Rollercoaster Measured in Joules

#6
Front (Question)

Power

Back (Answer)

= Work/Time = Joules/Seconds = Watts

#7
Front (Question)

Reynolds Number

Back (Answer)

Predicts laminar or turbulent flow (Inertial Forces)/(Cohesive Forces) Re < 2,000 Laminar Flow Re > 4,000 Turbulent Flow (↑ Resistance) Re 2,000−4,000 Transitional Re = (velocity ⋅ diameter ⋅ density)/viscosity Does not consider or predict resistance

#8
Front (Question)

Resistance/Flow/Pressure

Back (Answer)

Q = ∆P/R ∆P = Q x R R = ∆P/Q Flow - volume gas or liquid passing through cross-sectional area over unit of time (length/seconds) produced by pressure gradient application

#9
Front (Question)

Pressure

Back (Answer)

= Force/Area ↑ surface area ↓ pressure ↓ area ↑ pressure Density directly proportional ↑ density ↑ pressure Administering drug via 18G vs. 24G IV

#10
Front (Question)

Dalton’s Law

Back (Answer)

Partial pressure - exerted by single gas component of mixture P1 + P2 + P3 + PN = Total pressure

#11
Front (Question)

Atmospheric Pressure Units

Back (Answer)

760mmHg 760 Torr 14.7 PSI 1,000cmH2O 100 kPa 1 bar 33 ftH2O

#12
Front (Question)

Pressure at Altitude

Back (Answer)

Sea level = 1 Atmosphere 10,000ft = 0.66 (2/3) 1 Atmos 20,000 = 0.5 (1/2) 1 Atmos NOT linear relationship b/w altitude & pressure 60,000 H2O boils 37°C Underwater: 33ft H2O = 2 Atmos 66ft H2O = 3 Atmos 99ft H2O = 4 Atmos H2O much more dense than air

#13
Front (Question)

Acceleration

Back (Answer)

m/s^2 s^2 = traveling at specific rate m/s per second

#14
Front (Question)

Rate

Back (Answer)

m/s Cruise control - constant mph

#15
Front (Question)

Pascal’s Law

Back (Answer)

External pressure transmitter equally throughout = homogenous Pressure transmitted equally therefore able to read via gauge to measure pressure w/in Not affected by gravity

#16
Front (Question)

Atmospheric Gas Composition & Pressure

Back (Answer)

Dry air N2 79% 594mmHg O2 21% 159mmHg (1% trace inert gases) Water vapor 47mmHg

#17
Front (Question)

PSIG

Back (Answer)

Pounds per square inch gauge Set to read 1 atm (14.7psi or 760mmHg) less than absolute pressure Indicates usable/useful volume of gas in container Tank works via negative pressure system, once equilibrates w/ atmosphere then gas will no longer be able to flow out “Empty” tank not truly empty

#18
Front (Question)

PSIA

Back (Answer)

Absolute pounds per square inch Set to read the TOTAL about gas present in container Cannot get out unless suction out remainder

#19
Front (Question)

Absolute Pressure

Back (Answer)

Gauge pressure + Atmospheric pressure Total amount gas present in the container

#20
Front (Question)

Laminar Flow

Back (Answer)

Stronger intermolecular and cohesive forces = more likely to have laminar flow ↑ IMF ↑ viscosity VISCOSITY keeps molecules “in-line” “Sheets” of molecules Flow α 1/Viscosity ↑ viscosity ↓ flow Viscosity determinant of gas flow when flow is laminar

#21
Front (Question)

Turbulent Flow

Back (Answer)

Velocity, diameter, & density - forces that tend to disrupt cohesive forces therefore molecules move “out of line” Flow α 1/√Density ↑ density ↓ flow Density determinant of gas flow when flow is turbulent Influences probability that interactions b/w fluid molecules will occur - ↑ density ↑ molecules per unit area ↑ chance of molecular collisions ↑ drag ↑ resistance ↓ flow

#22
Front (Question)

Boiling Point

Back (Answer)

Temperature at which the vapor pressure of liquid equals ambient pressure Entirety of liquid enters the gas phase ↑ ambient pressure ↑ BP Ex: Desflurane ↑ temperature

#23
Front (Question)

Vaporization

Back (Answer)

Conversion of volatile liquid to a vapor/gas Aided by heat

#24
Front (Question)

Heat

Back (Answer)

Total kinetic energy of molecules of a substance Heat energy flows from increased heat to area w/ lower heat energy (hotter to cooler substance) = heat exchange Energy in form of kinetic energy - resides w/in molecules of the substance Thermal gradient or conductance Measurement of substance’s ability to conduct (exchange) heat = thermal conductivity
