Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2 |
|
1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg |
|
1 mph to a mass of 1 kg |
Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.
Which of the following is not part of the carbon cycle?
respiration |
|
decomposition |
|
photosynthesis |
|
precipitation |
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.
Which of these is not a recognized blood type?
AB |
|
O |
|
AO |
|
B |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
Earth's troposphere layer is which of the following?
hottest |
|
closest to the surface |
|
farthest from the surface |
|
coldest |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
|
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
