electron shells |
|
protons |
|
atomic mass units |
|

Which of the following is igneous rock?
granite |
|
shale |
|
sandstone |
|
marble |
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?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
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.
Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.
positive, antigen |
|
antigen, negative |
|
positive, negative |
|
negative, positive |
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
