Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
atomic mass units |
|
electron shells |
|
protons |
|
electrons |
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
atria |
|
ventricles |
|
aorta |
|
valves |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?
Cretaceous |
|
Cenozoic |
|
Jurassic |
|
Cambrian |
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed by the gradual depositing of small rocks?
sedimentary |
|
igneous |
|
granite |
|
metamorphic |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
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.
