"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
fourth |
|
second |
|
third |
|
first |
Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude 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: \(\vec{v}\)
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.
ventricle, ventricle |
|
atrium, atrium |
|
atrium, ventricle |
|
ventricle, atrium |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
day and night cycle |
|
tides |
|
the northern lights |
|
seasons |
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
