Work is measured in:
horsepower |
|
watts |
|
joules or newton-meters |
|
amps |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:
alkaline |
|
neutral |
|
water |
|
acidic |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?
medulla |
|
brainstem |
|
cerebellum |
|
cerebrum |
The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:
number of electrons in their outer electron shell |
|
number of electron shells |
|
number of electrons |
|
number of atomic mass units |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
What is the body's largest artery?
capillary |
|
vena cava |
|
arteriole |
|
aorta |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
