Examples of primary consumers include:
rats |
|
all of these |
|
cows |
|
fish |
Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus. Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \) |
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?
protein |
|
fats |
|
fiber |
|
carbohydrates |
Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.
Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?
convex lens |
|
convex mirror |
|
concave lens |
|
concave mirror |
Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the asteroid belt |
|
outside the solar system |
|
in the Kuiper Belt |
|
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
