The two heart chambers that pump blood called:
ventricles |
|
aorta |
|
atria |
|
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.
Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
all of these are untrue |
|
opposite poles attract each other |
|
same poles repel each other |
|
opposite poles repel each other |
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
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: \(\vec{v}\)
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
third |
|
fourth |
|
second |
|
first |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
