Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\) |
|
\(W = {F}{d}\) |
|
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\) |
|
\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\) |
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: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
What is the body's largest artery?
vena cava |
|
capillary |
|
arteriole |
|
aorta |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Which of the following is igneous rock?
marble |
|
shale |
|
granite |
|
sandstone |
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
This skeletal system is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.

An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
The crust and lithosphere of the Earth is made up of which of the following?
sedimentary rock |
|
metamorphic rock |
|
continents |
|
plates |
The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
