What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
stratus |
|
cumulus |
|
cumulonimbus |
|
cirrus |
Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
Blood is circulated throughout the body via:
aorta |
|
capillaries |
|
arterioles |
|
veins |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
A large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat is:
a biome |
|
a community |
|
a population |
|
a food chain |
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
trachea |
|
epiglottis |
|
nasal cavity |
|
pharynx |
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.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
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 \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
