In the metric system, milli is the prefix for 10-3.
Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = {F}{d}\) |
|
\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\) |
|
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\) |
|
\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\) |
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: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|
mesosphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
digestion |
|
respiration |
|
nervous |
|
circulation |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
