Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following?
radiation |
|
conduction |
|
reflection |
|
convection |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.
I biome is made up of naturally occurring flora and fauna. Fauna is which of the following?
habitats |
|
minerals |
|
plants |
|
animals |
A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
covalent |
|
chemical |
|
acidic |
|
ionic |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
ovum → fetus → zygote |
|
zygote → ovum → fetus |
|
none of these are correct |
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.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
