The first step in the water cycle is:
precipitation |
|
evaporation |
|
infiltration |
|
reclamation |
The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?
kinetic energy |
|
work |
|
a force |
|
power |
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
|
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.
arthropod |
|
sentient |
|
vertebrate |
|
spiny |
An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a direction only |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
