Torque involves a perpendicular force applied to a lever arm that moves around a center of rotation. Increasing the length of the lever arm will do which of the following?
increase torque
Torque measures force applied during rotation: τ = rF. Torque (τ, the Greek letter tau) = the radius of the lever arm (r) multiplied by the force (F) applied. Radius is measured from the center of rotation or fulcrum to the point at which the perpendicular force is being applied. The resulting unit for torque is newton-meter (N-m) or foot-pound (ft-lb).
What type of load varies with time or affects a structure that experiences a high degree of movement?
dynamic load
A concentrated load acts on a relatively small area of a structure, a static uniformly distributed load doesn't create specific stress points or vary with time, a dynamic load varies with time or affects a structure that experiences a high degree of movement, an impact load is sudden and for a relatively short duration and a non-uniformly distributed load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure.
Which of blood component carries oxygen?
red blood cells
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
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.
All surface water is part of the:
hydrosphere
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
Solve for y:
y2 + 6y - 13 = -y + 5
The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:
y2 + 6y - 13 = -y + 5
y2 + 6y - 13 - 5 = -y
y2 + 6y + y - 18 = 0
y2 + 7y - 18 = 0
Next, factor the quadratic equation:
y2 + 7y - 18 = 0
(y - 2)(y + 9) = 0
For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 2) or (y + 9) must equal zero:
If (y - 2) = 0, y must equal 2
If (y + 9) = 0, y must equal -9
So the solution is that y = 2 or -9
Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?
cerebellum
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebellum
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:
a biome
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
