The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
third law of motion |
|
second law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
first law of motion |
Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula: \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
Which of these vitamins doesn't come from food?
D |
|
Potassium |
|
A |
|
C |
Vitamins are necessary for a wide variety of bodily processes. Some vitamins like Vitamins A and C come from diet but others, like Vitamin D, are generated in response to sunlight.
An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?
similar moisture |
|
all of these |
|
similar density |
|
similar temperature |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
plasma |
|
solid |
|
gas |
|
liquid |
The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
Which of these digestive enzymes is not produced by the pancreas?
gastric acid |
|
trypsin |
|
lipase |
|
pancreatic amylase |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
