Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
zygote → ovum → fetus |
|
none of these are correct |
|
ovum → fetus → zygote |
|
ovum → zygote → fetus |
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:
macronutrients |
|
proteins |
|
carbohydrates |
|
micronutrients |
Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.
Materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called:
conductors |
|
insulators |
|
refractors |
|
reflectors |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
Which of the following would be found on a reflecting telescope?
concave mirror |
|
convex lens |
|
concave lens |
|
convex mirror |
A concave (or converging) mirror bulges inward and focuses reflected light on the mirror's focal point where the mirror's angles of incidence converge. In contrast, a convex (or diverging) mirror bulges outward and diffuses the light waves that strike it. A common use of a concave mirror is in a reflecting telescope, a common use of a convex mirror is in the side view mirror of a car.
