Work is measured in:
amps |
|
horsepower |
|
watts |
|
joules or newton-meters |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed when existing rock is altered through pressure, temperature, or chemical processes?
igneous |
|
metamorphic |
|
coal |
|
sedimentary |
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 rows of the Periodic Table of the Elements are called:
groups |
|
periods |
|
families |
|
shells |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?
family |
|
genus |
|
species |
|
domain |
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
