The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
seasons |
|
the northern lights |
|
day and night cycle |
|
tides |
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
nasal cavity |
|
pharynx |
|
epiglottis |
|
trachea |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
none of these are correct |
|
zygote → ovum → fetus |
|
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
ovum → fetus → zygote |
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
