The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

valves

atria

ventricles

aorta

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

65% Answer Correctly

second law of motion

first law of motion

third law of motion

universal gravitation


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

56% Answer Correctly

chromatids

chromosomes

nuclei

cells


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.


4

In the metric system, what prefix represents 103?

60% Answer Correctly

milli

mega

centi

kilo


Solution

Kilo is the metric system prefix for 103.

Meteoroids, meteors and meteorites are categorized based on which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

their density

their size

their temperature

their location


Solution

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
