Exercise 3: Implicit Association Test I took two Implicit Associations Tests; the first regarding weight and whether or not I prefer fat people or skinny people‚ and the second regarding whether or not I prefer homosexual or heterosexual people. I was a bit confused over the way these tests work‚ and found my results to be strange (or rather‚ didn’t understand where the results really came from). The first IAT interpreted that I have no implicit preference for skinny people over fat people‚ while

Problem-Solving Exercise 1 1. In your own words‚ explain what density altitude is and how it affects your airplane. Density altitude‚ or "Pressure Altitude"‚ is the density of air given as a height above Mean Sea Level (MSL). Density altitude affects the wings ability to create lift‚ the aircrafts propeller to create thrust and the power output of the engine. 2. In your own words‚ explain the theory of lift and what basic laws are involved. In my opinion lift can be explained by

what affects did light exercise have on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure‚ heart and respiration rate‚ tidal volume‚ minute volume and percentage of gas. The readings were taken before exercise‚ during exercise and after exercise. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of pressure exerted on the vessels walls‚ during blood flow. Blood pressure can be measured using a sphygmomanometer. The upper value indicates the systolic pressure; this is the highest level of pressure obtained. This is usually

Activity 1 – The Muscle Twitch and Latent 1) Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber‚ motor unit‚ skeletal muscle twitch‚ electrical stimulus‚ and latent period. Skeletal Muscle Fiber: Skeletal muscle cells that are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells that produce muscle tension. These fibers are what move our bodies and generate muscle tension/force that enables us to have manual dexterity. Motor unit: consists of one motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers that
