When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
snow or ice |
|
ice |
|
rain |
|
snow |
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.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
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 \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
convection |
|
reflection |
|
conduction |
|
radiation |
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right 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.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a direction only |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
