The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
Tertiary consumers eat which of the following?
decomposers |
|
primary and secondary consumers |
|
producers |
|
all of these |
Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.
Which of these is not a type of fat?
polyunsaturated |
|
monounsaturated |
|
saturated |
|
cholesterol |
Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
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 would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?
convex lens |
|
concave lens |
|
concave mirror |
|
convex mirror |
Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
