What type of cloud is responsible for fog?
cumulus |
|
cumulonimbus |
|
stratus |
|
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.
The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
third law of motion |
|
second law of motion |
|
universal gravitation |
|
first law of motion |
Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula: \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?
sublimation |
|
cooling |
|
phase transition |
|
heating |
A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.
Which of blood component carries oxygen?
white blood cells |
|
plasma |
|
red blood cells |
|
platelets |
Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
components |
|
products |
|
reactants |
|
fuel |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
