Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

62% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

none of these

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)


Solution

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.

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

58% Answer Correctly

blood type

universal donor status

postive or negative

universal recipient status


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

rivers

water table

runoff

oceans


Solution

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.
