  Increase
• Units of carriers for codes for related proteins

  Genes
• Diffusion of heat through a liquid or gas by motion of its parts

  Convection
• Shape of the earth

  Oblate spheroid
• If both the force and area of application of the said force are halved, the pressure will

  Remain constant
• Firing angle to reach maximum range

  45°
• In Newton's Second Law, the ratio of the effective force applied to a particle and its acceleration is

  Constant
• Newton's Second Law was originally stated in the form

  F= d(mv)/dt
• For a particle undergoing uniform motion, the acceleration is


  Always zero
• When mechanical energy is conserved, potential energy is maximum when kinetic energy is

  Minimum
• If an object is moving at constant acceleration in a straight course, its instantaneous velocity through any time interval is

  Equal to its Vave
• Given two vectors A= 4mi + 3mj and B= 2mi - 3mj, what is A+B?

  6mi

  Nitrogen
• Movement of molecules from a weaker liquid on one side of the barrier to a stronger liquid on the other side

  Osmosis
• Theory that the Earth is made up of plates moving on top of the earth's mantle. When these plates bump into each other, mountains or trenches are formed

  Plate Tectonics
• Non-conventional source of energy

  Solar energy
• Amount of matter present in a body

  50 m/s
• Number of waves passing a given point each second

  Frequency
• Angle of reflection when a ray of light strikes a mirror perpendicular to its surface

  90°
• Characteristic of a wave that changes as it travels across a boundary between two different media

  Speed
• Reason why an artificial satellite making a circular orbit around the earth does not move closer to the center of the Earth

  The Earth's gravity keeps the satellite moving with constant velocity
• Scalar quantity


  Distance
