Which of blood component allows blood to clot?
plasma |
|
platelets |
|
white blood cells |
|
red blood cells |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?
comets have an atmosphere |
|
comets orbit the Sun |
|
asteroids have a coma |
|
asteroids contain frozen water |
A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
none of these |
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
fourth |
|
second |
|
third |
|
first |
Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
