Electromotive force is another name for:
voltage
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.
solid
An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.
deoxygenated, low
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?
a = 7 or a = -7
The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
If a = c = 3, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 58°, what is the area of this parallelogram?
The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 8
a = 24
Which of the following is a decomposer?
fungi
Decomposers (saprotrophs) are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients.
Collinear forces:
act along the same line of action
Collinear forces act along the same line of action, concurrent forces pass through a common point and coplanar forces act in a common plane.
