Q

What is Boyles law?

A

17
Q

The ear is an organ of hearing and:

A

Regulating equilibrium (balance)

18
Q

Valsalva maneuver should never be attempted when?

A

19
Q

Define stress

A

The non-specific response of the body to any demand

20
Q

What are the different types of stressors?

A

Psychosocial, environmental, physiological, and cognitive

21
Q

What are the self-imposed stressors?

A

Drugs, exhaustion, alcohol, tobacco, hypoglycemia

22
Q

A

Five hours

23
Q

What AR provides guidance on crew endurance Planning?

A

AR 385-10

24
Q

How long should an individual sleep when recovering from 24 to 48 hours of sleep deprivation?

A

No longer than 10 hours

25
Q

What is an objects resistance to change in a state of rest or motion?

A

Inertial force

26
Q

What is the force acting on an object moving in a circular pattern that holds the object on it circular path?

A

Centripetal force

27
Q

What is an objects speed in a given direction?

A

Velocity

28
Q

What is newtons first law?

A

Inertia. A body remains at rest or in motion unless acted upon by force

29
Q

What is newtons second law?

A

To overcome inertia a force is required the result of which is proportionate to the acceleration applied and it’s mass

30
Q

What is newtons third law?

A

For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction

31
Q

What are the factors affecting accelerative forces?

A

Intensity, duration, rate of onset, body area and site, and impact direction

32
Q

What are the aircraft design features that promote crash survival?
(CREEP)

A

Container, restraint systems, environment, energy absorption, post crash protection

33
Q

What is the most common cause of intentional and unintentional poisoning in the United States?

A

Carbon monoxide

34
