If a P-20 micropipettor is set at “110,” what volume of water will this measure? How much should that water weigh? If a P-1000 micropipettor is set at “035”, what volume of water will this measure? How much should that water weigh? Please include units in your answers!
The oxygen cost of running on a flat surface at 200 m/min would be about: (hint: pay close attention to units in each answer choice).
O 30 ml. kg-1 min-1
50 ml kg-1 min-1
12.42 METS
10.96 METS
According to Jean Buridan’s equation, the momentum or “impetus” of an 88 kilogram mass moving at 5 meters per second would be:
110 kilogram-meters per second
220 kilogram-meters per second
440 kilogram-meters per second
660 kilogram-meters per second
880 kilogram-meters per second
