A spacecraft of mass m=520 kg stationary with respect to the South Pole of the Earth runs out of fuel and starts to fall vertically toward the South Pole. If the initial altitude of the space craft is 800 km, what is the velocity of the space craft when it hits the surface of the Earth in km/s? Assume that you can ignore the atmospheric friction. Note that the universal gravitational constant G = 6.67x10-11 Nm2/kg2 , the radius of the Earth RE = 6.37x106 m, and the mass of the Earth ME = 5.97 x 1024 kg. (Hint: Conservation of energy).

MATLAB question: how do you write a video file using videowriter without displaying the current figure when doing getframe? I want to go through the data packet Xpixels x Ypixels x Zframes for each frame and write it to a video without showing the display until it's finally done. also I noticed if I turn the figure off the code runs much much slower using fig = figure(visible off). is there anyway to avoid this sluggishness? and speed it up without showing the figure?

COMPLAINT: "My blood sugars have not been very good lately. I’m doing everything I am supposed to be doing."

HISTORY: A 24-year-old male patient comes to your primary care clinic to establish care. He has type 1 diabetes mellitus diagnosed at age 11. He has not seen a provider in about 9 months. Currently, he is taking NPH insulin 30 units bid (8 a.m. and 6 p.m. with 10 units Humalog before each meal. He does not use tobacco products but does drink alcohol on the weekends. He reports checking blood glucose (BG) levels three to four times daily but did not bring his glucose log or meter. He reports his fasting blood sugar runs 150 to 190 and prandial glucose readings are 140-250. He reports hypoglycemic episodes one to two times week. He exercises intermittently but is not on a regular schedule. He does not eat on a regular schedule every day although he says he knows that he should. He works at a light-activity job 8 hours daily. His height is 5’10" and he weighs 200 pounds. His blood pressure is 128/78 mm Hg and is pulse is 76 and regular. A random fingerstick glucose is 240 and point of care A1c is 9.8. Fasting chemistry and lipid panels, thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and random urine for microalbumin are ordered.

ASSESSMENT:

1. Fasting BG: 203

2. Lipid profile: high-density lipoprotein 55; low-density lipoprotein 103; triglycerides 180; total cholesterol 209

3. Thyroid within normal limits

4. Creatinine 1.0; albumin 5.0

5. Microalbumin 17

1. How would you treat this patient?

2. What would initial instruction include?

The electron transport chain has two diffusible electron carriers, ubiquinone, which shuttles electrons to the third mitochondrial complex, and cytochrome c, which shuttles electrons to the last mitochondrial complex (see figure below). Would it be possible for cells to use only one of these two diffusible electron carriers to shuttle electrons at each of these two steps of the electron transport chain? Why or why not?

An educational psychologist has developed a mediation technique to reduce anxiety. The psychologist selected a sample of high anxiety students that are asked to do the mediation at two therapy sessions a week apart. The participants' anxiety is measured the week before the first session and at each subsequent session. Below are the anxiety scores for the participants. What can the psychologist conclude with α= 0.05?

Make an interpretation based on the results.

At least one of the sessions differ on anxiety.None of the sessions differ on anxiety.
