    You forgot Plasma - Transports heat
    And red blood cells carry oxygen etc

    Goddamn it :P

    Question time :P

    What is the name for muscles that work in pairs?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,152 ✭✭✭Cakes.


    Antagonistic Muscles

    How do you experiment for water ..?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭TehFionnster


    Ehh... Ratio of Hydrogen atoms in water...

    2:1

    Just guessing... H20?

    to test for Hydrogen, Light a splint and put in the test tube
    if it burns with a "pop" or "squeak" it is Hydrogen :D

    Em...

    Maths for a change:

    Formulae for:

    Area(trig)
    Volume of a cone
    Total Surface area of a cylinder.

    If sin A = -1/2
    find the two values for the angle A, where 0° ≤ A ≤ 360°.
    :D

    :D
    Triangle: 1/2* (base)* p.h or 1/2* a*b SinC (it's all in the tables now)

    Cone: Just look it up in the tables...was always in them.

    TSA Cylinder: TABLES!

    Sine is negative in in the 3rd and 4th quadrant. Off the top of my head, I think inverse sine of 1/2 is 30 degrees. 180 + 30 = 210 degrees. 360 - 30 = 330 degrees.

    I miss the Junior Cert. :'(

    Science: Give the chemical equation for the preparation of oxygen.

    Geography: What is relief rainfall?

    Nostalgia, nostalgia...*cries*

    ......
    What are you doing here? :p

    Errr relief rainfall is when moisture-laden meets a slope and the air is heated and forced to rise, and it conenses and forms rain-bearing clouds, which...rain on the windward slope.

    Errrr....name a test for carbon dioxide?

    Birín lasta i eascra lán le CO2. Ma múchann sé, tá CO2 i gceist!
    Lighting splinter in a jar of CO2. If it extingushes, it's CO2.


    Distinguish between alternating and direct current!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭TehFionnster


    Alternating current well, as the name suggest alterates, ie changes direction appox. 40 times every second.
    And direct current doesn't change direction :P

    Nuair a bhi me ag imirt camogaíocht, thit me ar an talamh agus ghortaigh me mo chos. Bhí bron orm. Ní bhuamar an cluiche freisin. Bhí lá droch ann.
