As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
pushes under |
|
mixes with |
|
pushes above |
|
cancels out |
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.
iron, calcium |
|
vitamin D, calcium |
|
vitamin D, magnesium |
|
calcium, vitamin A |
Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.
The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
atria |
|
aorta |
|
ventricles |
|
valves |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\) |
|
\(W = {F}{d}\) |
|
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\) |
|
\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\) |
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: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
ground level |
|
mid-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
