The volume of air we breathe in is about 10% of lung capacity perbreath. If the level of PM2.5 is constant at 40 μg/m3 over the wholeyear, how many grams of dust would you inhale in total in one year,assuming that the dust particles in every breath are all collected inyour lung?
The number of viruses (V , measured in trillions or 10¹²) that infect a person is a function of the degree of immunosuppression (I, the fraction of the immune system that is turned off by stress) according to V(I) = 5I². The fever (F, measured in ◦C) associated with an infection is a function of the number of viruses according to F(V) = 37 + 0.4V. Find fever as a function of immunosuppression. How high will the fever be if immunosuppression is complete (I = 1)?
An artificial heart must beat an average of 60 beats per minute, and must last at least 30 years. If there are 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in each day, and 365.25 days in a year, how many beats must the artificial heart provide in this 30 year period?

Using the systematics of exponential processes, the time scale for getting out of a pandemic at its peak through exponential decay of the infection rate or the death rate is estimated from: If the delta variant death rate per day (Po) peaked at 2000 in late September and declined at the national rate of − 1% per day, what is t, the time in days to defeat the virus (i.e. time until the last person dies)? answer choices: 350 525 450 760
A study fonds that the metabolic rate of mamals is proportional to the mass of the mamal carried to the exponent of (3/4). By what factor does the metabolic rate of a 70.0 kg human exceed that of a 6.30 kg cat?\ 70.0 3/4 kg = 6.09 6.303/4 kg I set up the values as a ratio and came up with 6.09. OK, I answered my own question. That is the correct answer.

Suppose that the weight of a type of organism is governed by a power law relationship with its length from snout to tail and the thickness of its central vertebrae W=cL^pV^q. One specimen weighed 37 kg with a length of 1.6 meters and vertebral thickness 1 cm. A second specimen weighed 45 kg with a length of 1.6 meters and vertebral thickness 1.3 cm. A third specimen weighed 56 kg, with a length of 3.1 meters and vertebral thickness 1.2 cm. Write the equation with the correct coefficient and parameter values. (Express values to the nearest hundredth).
