..Below is a transcript between myself and my patient on Friday afternoon…
A woman comes in for a pelvic ultrasound scan
I ask her what’s wrong
She wants to know something about months
“Bleeding for months?” I ask
“No, we need to find out the months”
“The what?”
“You know..”
“Ah, no…”
*awkward silence*
“I’m pregnant!” she finally blurted out
“OH I see…you want to know your dates?”
“Yes..how many months I am”
“OK”
So I scan her…
“Is this your first scan for this pregnancy?”
“No”
“Oh! how many scans have you had?”
“4″
“FOUR?! They would have found out your due date…”
“Oh no! They were for my previous children…”
“OK…SO, is this the FIRST scan for THIS pregnancy?”
“Yes!”
“OK!”
*scanning…scanning*
“OK…you’re about 12w1day…”
“Ok…so, how many months does that make me?”
“We don’t go by months, weeks are far more accurate…”
So I tell her again…
“You are 12w1d…”
She repeats slowly…
“12 weeks……1 day……so does that make me 1 month pregnant?”
………….
…………….
*more awkward silence…*
“There are roughly 4 weeks to a month…so that would make you…..?”
*nervous laughter*
“Goodbye!”
A 3kg object is released from rest.
At the foot of the ramp is a spring of force constant k=100 N/m. The object is placed next to the spring, compressing it a distance x before coming to rest.
(a) Find x
(b) Does the object continue to move after it comes to rest? If yes, how high will it go up the slope before it comes to rest?
Answer: no. There is a duck in the way.
Top marks Sam if you were in my class.
