Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
none of these |
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.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?
none of these |
|
liquid |
|
solid |
|
gas |
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
trachea |
|
epiglottis |
|
pharynx |
|
nasal cavity |
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
all-altitude |
|
low-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
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.
