The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
first law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
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.
These clouds grow upward and can develop into cumulonimbus or thunderstorm clouds.
cirrus clouds |
|
nimbus clouds |
|
cumulus clouds |
|
stratus clouds |
Cumulus clouds are large, puffy, mid-altitude clouds with a flat base and a rounded top. These clouds grow upward and can develop into a cumulonimbus or thunderstorm cloud.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \) |
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna. Fauna is which of the following?
minerals |
|
habitats |
|
animals |
|
plants |
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
Veins carry blood __________ the heart.
away from |
|
within |
|
back to |
|
all of these |
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.
