The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

65% Answer Correctly

universal gravitation

second law of motion

third law of motion

first law of motion


Solution

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.

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

medulla

nerves

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.

45% Answer Correctly

primary or tertiary consumers

secondary or tertiary consumers

primary or secondary consumers

secondary consumers or scavengers


Solution

Secondary or tertiary consumers may be omnivores.

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed from the hardening of molten rock?

65% Answer Correctly

marble

metamorphic

igneous

sedimentary


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.

A human heart consists of how many chambers?

84% Answer Correctly

2


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
