Answer:

c. No. An equation may have consistent units but still be numerically invaid.

Explanation:

For an equation to be corrected, it should have consistent units and also be numerically correct.

Most equation are of the form;

(Actual quantity) = (dimensionless constant) × (dimensionally correct quantity)

From the above, without the dimensionless constant the equation would be numerically wrong.

For example; Kinetic energy equation.

KE = 0.5(mv^2)

Without the dimensionless constant '0.5' the equation would be dimensionally correct but numerically wrong.

What is oxygenated blood? De-oxygenated blood?

WITCHER [35]

Oxygenated blood that has oxygen in them while de-oxygenated blood has carbon dioxide. in which the oxygenated blood carries the oxygen throughout the body since that cells need oxygen to function. called "gas exchange." once the cells got their required oxygen. the carbon dioxide needs somewhere to go, thus having deoxygenated blood. and that carbon dioxide needs to get out of the body

A motorcycle running on gasoline wastes a large amount of energy mainly as A) heat energy and sound energy. B) light energy and

vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat <u>energy</u> and <u>sound</u> energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.

How do i figure out this question?

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

0.75 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The formula for density:

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

So, we can substitute values for m and V:

$\rho = \frac{277}{370}\approx0.75$

Therefore, the density is 0.75 g/cm^3 (watch the units!)

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

What inflammatory molecule aids with muscle building and is released when muscles experience microscopic damage?

Reika [66]

Answer:

Cytokines

Explanation:

Cytokines are known as inflammatory molecules which are also proteinous and aid signaling of certain processes and conditions in the body.

They are also normally involved in aiding muscle building and are released when muscles experience microscopic damage which may lead to the muscles being sore.
