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.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
