The watt is a unit of measurement for:
power
Electrical power is measured in watts (W) and is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) applied to a circuit by the resulting current (I) that flows in the circuit: P = IV. In addition to measuring production capacity, power also measures the rate of energy consumption and many loads are rated for their consumption capacity. For example, a 60W lightbulb utilizes 60W of energy to produce the equivalent of 60W of heat and light energy.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
equal numbers of
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:
micronutrients
Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.
Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of resistance in this circuit if voltage is 40 volts and current is 2 amps.
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
Solved for resistance, R = \( \frac{V}{I} \) = \( \frac{40}{2} \) = 20 Ω
Electricity cannot flow...
through an open circuit
An electrical circuit is a path through which electricity flows. This path contains one or more components that create a load (something that is using electricity) and that load acts as resistance to the passage of electricity through the circuit. Electricity can only flow through a circuit when the path is closed and cannot flow through an open circuit.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
The mass of an object correlates to the size of the object but ultimately depends on:
the object's density
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. In general, larger objects have larger mass than smaller objects but mass ultimately depends on how compact (dense) a substance is.
__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.
vitamin D, calcium
Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.
