Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Gas flow is calculated by the amount of power needed to maintain the temperature of the heating element. A high gas velocity will cool the heating element, requiring more power to maintain the temperature of the thermistor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Peak flowmeters operate by measuring the gas flow against a rotating vane. Peak flowmeters are usually calibrated in liters per minute.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
