Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals. At what elevation to cirrus clouds form?
mid-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
|
ground level |
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.
Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a direction and a polarity |
|
a direction only |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?
classes |
|
domains |
|
species |
|
kingdoms |
The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?
stomach |
|
esophagus |
|
large intestine |
|
small intestine |
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \) |
|
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) |
|
none of these |
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 \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
