The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
first law of motion |
|
third law of motion |
|
second law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
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.
Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?
heart |
|
capillaries |
|
veins |
|
arteries |
Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?
cell membrane |
|
nucleus |
|
cytoplasm |
|
cell wall |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
Veins __________ blood at __________ pressure.
deoxygenated, high |
|
deoxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, low |
|
oxygenated, high |
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:
meteors |
|
meteorites |
|
meteoroids |
|
shooting stars |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
