Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\) |
|
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\) |
|
\(W = {F}{d}\) |
|
\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\) |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Blood is created in:
the liver |
|
red blood cells |
|
the heart |
|
bone marrow |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed by the gradual depositing of small rocks?
igneous |
|
granite |
|
sedimentary |
|
metamorphic |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Which of the following describes how a person's genes express themselves in physical characteristics?
genotype |
|
phenotype |
|
DNA |
|
chromotype |
A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.
Which of these is not a component of blood?
plasma |
|
white blood cells |
|
marrow |
|
red blood cells |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
