When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
snow |
|
ice |
|
rain |
|
snow or ice |
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
Carbohydrates are found in:
food additives |
|
animal sources |
|
vegetable oils |
|
sugars and starches |
Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).
Which of the following is not a vector quantity?
velocity |
|
mass |
|
acceleration |
|
momentum |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
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.
Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:
cerebellum |
|
nerves |
|
cerebrum |
|
medulla |
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.
