Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.

|
animals |
|
plants |
|

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?
atria |
|
capillaries |
|
valves |
|
platelets |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
A __________ is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound.
molecule |
|
ion |
|
neutron |
|
isotope |
A molecule is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. The molecules of elements consist of two or more similar atoms, the molecules of compounds consist of two or more different atoms.
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
right, right |

right, left |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
