This is known as multi-tasking. Although a single-core CPU can only do one thing at a time, it switches between the various running programs so quickly that they appear to run simultaneously. CPUs that have multiple cores can obviously do more things at once, but multi-tasking environments always run far more programs than there are cores so the individual cores still have to rapidly switch between their allotted tasks.

When a user runs two or more programs at the same time on a computer with one central processor the process is referred to as?
Multi-tasking.
Explain the operating system layers that is monolithic?
Early computing was performed on a single processor. Makes use of a single cpu to execute one or more programs for each application Ex: A uni-processor
How does the operating system interact with computer?
Simplified it grants you access to the hardware. Without an operating system your computer is just a bunch of chips and cables, it's the OS that tells the processor what to do, manages the memory and lets you, and programs, interact with all the components, so it's the interface between user and hardware. If you are looking for more specific informations about OS you can find those on many (online-) computer or generic encyclopedias such as wikipedia.
The ability of an operating system to allow one user to run two or more programs at the same time on one computer is called?
Multitasking
What are the differences between operating system and application software?
Computers operating system or OS; are tools, by which we are able to logon to computer, a collection of computer programs which manufactures build into the computer, data, information stored of users, fonts and much more. Application software are extra programs that a person can purchase CD or by online download for your computer; photo shops, Microsoft office, suites, forms, there are many available. Usually can find these software programs in Best Buys, Fry's, Wall-mart has some.

When a user runs two or more programs at the same time on a computer with one central processor the process is referred to as?
Multi-tasking.
When a user runs two or more programs at the same time on a computer with one central processor the process is referred to as what?
parallel processing
When a user runs two or more programs at the same time on a computer with one central processor the process is referred as?
Multi-tasking? If you're asking for some sort of school-related work this answer probably won't cut it.
Is the chip for the computer is called the brain?
It's called the Processor, or more precisely, the CPU (Central Processing Unit)
What is the definition of CPU?
A CPU scheduler maximizes CPU utilization. It can do the scheduling based on two types, which is either a preemptive or a non-preemptive scheduling.
What does it mean when a computer has a speed of 2.5ghz?
That's the speed the clock inside the Central Processor Unit operates. The faster the clock - the more operations per second the computer can perform.
What is a full form of CPU?
A central processing unit, also called a central processor, main processor or just processor, is the electronic circuitry that executes instructions comprising a computer program. The CPU performs basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output operations specified by the instructions in the program. CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. It is also known as a brain of the computer. It carries out instructions and computer programs and performs all the basic arithmetical and logical operations. CPU is installed in the motherboard on a specific area known as CPU socket. Traditionally the term CPU refers to a processor which includes control unit and arithmetical logical unit.
How do you know when you have a good computer?
Good computers depends on hardware components with good maintenance. If you have new processor (example: Intel Core2Duo Processor) with more than 1 GB ram, then you have good computer. Because this computer perform very well for all programs (without Slowing down).
What is Processor used for?
It is the brain of you computer. Every thing can be controled using the proccesor. They work more faster when they have a good heat sink on them. If you were to take of the heat sink It would die in the matter of seconds.
Why do you still need to install more programs when the OS already has a number of programs eg word processor?

Is the dual core processor reliable to make programs using turbo c?
A dual core processor is reliable to make programs using Turbo C. It is best however if you go for a more substantial processor such as a Quad Core.
