General Science

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.

crankshaft

The crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components.

General Science

The __________ nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.

autonomic

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.

Math Knowledge

Solve for c:
9c - 9 < $ \frac{c}{5} $

c < 1$\frac{1}{44}$

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

9c - 9 < $ \frac{c}{5} $
5 x (9c - 9) < c
(5 x 9c) + (5 x -9) < c
45c - 45 < c
45c - 45 - c < 0
45c - c < 45
44c < 45
c < $ \frac{45}{44} $
c < 1$\frac{1}{44}$

General Science

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

potential

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.

Math Knowledge

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

all of these statements are correct

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a² - a² = 3a² but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

Math Knowledge

$2$\frac{1}{2}$$

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

2$\frac{1}{2}$

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = $ \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} $ = $ \frac{(3.0) - (-7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} $ = $ \frac{10}{4} $
m = 2$\frac{1}{2}$

General Science

The rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:

periods

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.

Word Knowledge

Consuela's friends called her an aesthete when she claimed that Monet's paintings made her cry.

connoisseur

Person having or affecting sensitivity to beauty.

Shop Information

The primary difference between a claw and a ball-peen hammer is which of the following?

their non-striking end

The most common striking tool is the hammer and the most common variety of hammer is the claw hammer. The claw hammer has two ends, one to drive nails and one to remove nails. Ball-peen hammers replace the claw with a rounded end that's used to round off the edges of metal pins and make gaskets.
