The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?
sedimentary |
|
igneous |
|
metamorphic |
|
marble |
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.
The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?
the planets are Earth-like |
|
the planets have magnetic fields |
|
the planets have water |
|
the planets have moons |
The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
bronchioles |
|
diaphragms |
|
blood cells |
|
capillaries |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
angle of incidence |
|
focal point |
|
refractive index |
|
90° |
The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.
The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
