What is the body's largest artery?
capillary |
|
vena cava |
|
arteriole |
|
aorta |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
inner core |
|
mantle |
|
continents |
|
outer core |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\) |
|
\(W = {F}{d}\) |
|
\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\) |
|
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\) |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
high-altitude |
|
all-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
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.
