In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.
ventricle, atrium
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?
animalia
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
4! = ?
4 x 3 x 2 x 1
A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?
primarily solid
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?
kinetic
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.
If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 7, what is the area?
The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:
a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 7 = \( \frac{42}{2} \) = 21
You are using a hacksaw to cut a Class 8 bolt. What is the most appropriate TPI for your saw blade?
18 TPI
A Class 8 bolt is made of very hard metal and larger TPI saw blades are most appropriate for very hard metals.
Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change which of the following charasteristics of the input force?
torque
Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change the rotational speed and torque of the input force. If the smaller gear drives the larger gear, the speed of rotation will be reduced and the torque will increase. If the larger gear drives the smaller gear, the speed of rotation will increase and the torque will be reduced.
