The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
universal gravitation |
|
first law of motion |
|
third law of motion |
|
second 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.
Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?
power |
|
kinetic energy |
|
work |
|
a force |
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
more |
|
equal numbers of |
|
fewer |
|
double the number of |
An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:
alkaline |
|
acidic |
|
water |
|
neutral |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?
medulla |
|
cerebellum |
|
brainstem |
|
cerebrum |
The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
