Work is measured in:
horsepower |
|
watts |
|
amps |
|
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 asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?
minerals |
|
gaseous methane, ammonia, and water |
|
frozen methane, ammonia, and water |
|
rock |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.
ventricle, atrium |
|
atrium, atrium |
|
atrium, ventricle |
|
ventricle, ventricle |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
Cellular fermentation takes place:
anaerobically |
|
in the presence of oxygen |
|
in plant cells |
|
aerobically |
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?
evaporation |
|
transpiration |
|
both evaporation and transpiration |
|
precipitation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
