The first step in the water cycle is:
evaporation |
|
precipitation |
|
reclamation |
|
infiltration |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?
family |
|
domain |
|
species |
|
genus |
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
minerals |
|
frozen methane, ammonia, and water |
|
gaseous methane, ammonia, and water |
|
rock |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
second law of motion |
|
first law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
third 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 the following represents the largest value?
1 mL |
|
1 cL |
|
1 ML |
|
1 kL |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
