83% Answer Correctly

period

frequency

volume

amplitude


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.


3

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 mL

1 kL

1 ML

1 cL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

positive, antigen

positive, negative

antigen, negative

Solution

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.
