In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:
rivers |
|
runoff |
|
water table |
|
oceans |
The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.
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.
As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:
sugars |
|
starches |
|
fat |
|
protein |
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?
neutron |
|
molecule |
|
atom |
|
element |
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
outer core |
|
continents |
|
inner core |
|
mantle |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
