Concept explainers
Dialysis treatment removes urea and other waste products from a patient’s blood by diverting some of the bloodflow externally through a machine called a dialyzer. The rate at which urea is removed from the blood (in mg/min) is often well described by the equation
where r is the rate of flow of blood through the dialyzer (in mL/min), V is the volume of the patient’s blood (in mL), and C0 is the amount of urea in the blood (in mg) at time t = 0. Evaluate the

- Find the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.arrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. z is directly proportional to the sum of x and y. If x=2 and y=5, then z=28.arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forward
