stratus |
|
cumulonimbus |
|
cumulus |
|
cirrus |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?
inherent |
|
potential |
|
gravitational |
|
kinetic |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
The large intestine does which of the following?
breaks down starches |
|
breaks down fats |
|
processes the physical waste produced by digestion |
|
breaks down proteins |
The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.

O |
|
AO |
|
AB |
|
