Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
|
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).

Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
O-positive |
|
AB |
|
O |
|
O-negative |
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
