Delays In Defibrillation Not Explained By Traditional Hospital Factors - ScienceDaily (Aug. 19, 2009) — Traditional hospital factors—such as case volume and academic status—do not appear to predict whether patients with cardiac arrest at that facility are likely to experience delays in receiving defibrillation, according to a report in the July 27 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. See also: Health & Medicine Today's Healthcare Heart Disease Medical Imaging Science & Society Public Health Disaster Plan Privacy Issues Reference Cardiac arrest Defibrillation CPR Electrocardiogram The American Heart Association recommends that defibrillation be performed within two minutes of cardiac arrest, according to background information in the article. Longer delays to defibrillation are associated with lower survival rates following cardiac arrest in the hospital. Previous studies have found that factors associated with individual patients, such as being admitted to the hospital for a non-cardiac diagnosis and experiencing ....

Question : The 'cornering performance' of an automobile is evaluated on a skid pad, where the maximum speed that a car can maintain around a circular path on a dry, flat surface is measured. Then the centripetal acceleration, also called the lateral acceleration, is calculated as a multiple of the free-fall acceleration g. The main factors affecting the performance of the car are its tire characteristics and the suspension system. A certain car can negotiate a skidpad of radius 62.2 m at 86.0 km/h. Calcula..

Answer : The centripetal acceleration an = v^2/R = (86/3.6)^2/62.2 = 9.17 m/s^2 = 0.935 g
