Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?
red |
|
plasma |
|
white |
|
platelets |
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.
Work is measured in:
watts |
|
amps |
|
joules or newton-meters |
|
horsepower |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?
troposphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
thermosphere |
The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.
Which of these layers is found directly below the Earth's crust?
continents |
|
outer core |
|
mantle |
|
inner core |
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
The formula for acceleration is which of the following?
\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\) |
Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass. The formula for acceleration is \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force, \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).
