The formula \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?
universal gravitation |
|
second law of motion |
|
third law of motion |
|
first law of motion |
Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula: \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.
In cell biology, what part of the cell contains organelles?
nucleus |
|
cell wall |
|
cytoplasm |
|
cell membrane |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles.
As part of the carbon cycle, plants release carbon into the atmosphere through which process?
photosynthesis |
|
evaporation |
|
sedimentation |
|
decomposition |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:
population |
|
community |
|
biome |
|
ecosystem |
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).
Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\) |
|
\(P = \vec{w}t\) |
|
\(P = w t\) |
|
\(P = {w \over t}\) |
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
