cumulus clouds |
|
cirrus clouds |
|
fog |

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → zygote → fetus |
|
ovum → fetus → zygote |
|
zygote → ovum → fetus |
|
none of these are correct |
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
second |
|
fourth |
|
first |
|
third |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
