For equally sized trocar-cannula systems, incisions made for blunt-tipped trocars are smaller than those made by sharp-tipped trocars, forcing the skin to stretch more around the cannula. This option better prevents slipping after the cannula is inserted because: A.it decreases the contact surface area. B.it decreases the static friction. C.it increases the normal force. D.it increases the coefficient of static friction.
C. increases normal force Why is D wrong? The coefficient of static friction depends only on the properties of the surfaces involved. Since both situations involve the same two surfaces (cannula and skin), the coefficient of static friction is the same.

That the spherical aberration of a converging lens is corrected by reducing the thickness of the lens periphery means that the light rays emerging from aberrant converging lenses: aberrant converging lenses: A.are insufficiently refracted at the lens periphery. B.converge at the lens focal point uniformly. C.are excessively refracted at the lens periphery. D.are scattered due to chromatic dispersion
C.are excessively refracted at the lens periphery. a perfectly spherical non-ideal lens produced multiple focal points -this can be fixed by altering the thickness at the periphery -abberation causes more extreme changes at the periphery, so that the area must be adjusted to lessen its impact Because reducing the thickness of the lens periphery will lead to less refraction of light, light rays exiting the periphery of a spherical converging lens can be said to refract excessively, converging on a focal point that is too close to the lens.

Charged particles are accelerated in electric fields by a force known as the electric Lorentz force. The force exerted on a particle in an electric field is equal to the product of the particle's charge (q) and the electric field strength (E): F=qE The charge of a doubly ionized particle will be twice the charge of an electron (1.6 × 10−19):q=2(1.6×10−19 C)=3.2×10−19 C Using the above charge as q and the given electric field strength of 2,000 N/C as E, the force exerted on the particle is: F=(3.2×10−19 C)(2,000 NC)=6.4×10−16 N (Choice C) This value (3.2 × 10−16 N) is the force exerted on a singly ionized molecule. However, the question asks for the force exerted on a doubly ionized molecule, which has twice the charge and therefore experiences twice the force.
Many inhalational anesthetics are thought to increase surface tension effects in the alveoli. Water with greater surface tension: A.forms a convex meniscus in a narrow glass tube. .B.evaporates more quickly. C.has weaker van der Waals forces. D.creates droplets with smaller surface areas
D. Water in a glass tube forms a concave meniscus, not a convex meniscus. Liquids that form a convex meniscus, such as mercury, have surface tensions about 10 times greater than water. The surface tension of a liquid refers to the imbalance of intermolecular forces at its surface that makes its surface act as a thin, elastic film. Surface tension arises from cohesive forces (between like molecules) in a fluid. Water has relatively high surface tension compared to many liquids due its ability to form hydrogen bonds.
