What does it mean when a force is balanced? Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. When forces are balanced, there is no change in motion. In one of your situations in the last section, you pushed or pulled on an object from opposite directions but with the same force. What is […]

How do red blood cells and white blood cells work together? Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body. White blood cells help fight infection. Platelets are tiny cells that have a big job in stopping bleeding. Proteins in the blood called clotting factors work to form a clot. What causes white […]

What is the SI unit of current? ampere How do you measure current in a DC circuit? It is measured in the unit of the Ampere, simply called “Amp,” (A). The most common way to measure current in a circuit is to break the circuit open and insert an “ammeter” in series (in-line) with the […]

When volume increases, density decreases. What do density mass and volume have in common? An object’s density is the ratio of mass to volume of an object. […]

Which is more accurate 10 mL or 100 mL graduated cylinder? For accuracy the volume on graduated cylinders is depicted on scales with 3 significant digits: 100mL cylinders have 1ml grading divisions while 10mL cylinders have 0.1 mL grading divisions. Class A has double the accuracy of class B. Which has greater precision the 10 […]

What is the precision of a study? Precision indicates how well a method or instrument gives the same result when a single sample is tested repeatedly. Precision measures the random error of a method, which is the scatter in the data. Precision does not indicate that an instrument is reporting the correct result; which is […]

How do you increase the amplitude of a sound wave? In theory, a sound wave can have any amplitude, and we can boost a wave by multiplying its samples with any arbitrarily large number. What is relation between frequency and voltage? As the voltage increases so does the power out of the area and frequency […]
