POCT in the ED â¢ Faster does not always lead to better outcome â¢ Lab tests are rarely the rate limiting factor in ED disposition â¢ Process analysis is the key understanding and improving patient throughput in the ED â¢ Test menu selection is a critical component of the potential application of POCT â¢ Match available tests to disposition decisions
Gravity decreases with altitude as one rises above the Earth's surface because greater altitude means greater distance from the Earth's centre. All other things being equal, an increase in altitude from sea level to 9,000 metres (30,000 ft) causes a weight decrease of about 0.29%.
Gravity pulls planets toward the sun and keeps them from moving off in a straight line. Inertia keeps objects moving forward so they do not fall toward the sun. (contd.) The diagram shows how gravity and inertia combine to keep objects in orbit. 2. Summarize In your own words, explain why planets orbit the sun.
