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%.
Full Answer. As the height of the ramp increases, the height of the object placed at the top of this ramp does too. An increase in height of an object from a surface in the presence of a gravitational field corresponds to an increase in the potential energy of the object. When the object is left to roll or skid down the higher, more inclined ramp to the surface, this higher potential energy can be converted into correspondingly higher kinetic energy. Because kinetic energy is calculated from the mass of an object and its speed, the higher the ramp, the faster an object rolling or skidding down the ramp will be, assuming the mass of the object remains the same.
