Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
|
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
blood cells |
|
bronchioles |
|
diaphragms |
|
capillaries |
The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
left, right |
|
right, right |

right, left |
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.
The biosphere consists of which of the following?
all of these |
|
hydrosphere |
|
lithosphere |
|
atmosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?
metal |
|
vacuum |
|
air |
|
water |
The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium. Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).
