70% Answer Correctly

low-altitude

ground level

high-altitude

mid-altitude


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.

5

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
