3

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


4

A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:

75% Answer Correctly

a food chain

a biome

a community

a population


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
