Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:
meteorites |
|
meteoroids |
|
meteors |
|
shooting stars |
Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.
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.
ion |
|
neutron |
|
molecule |
|
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.
Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\) |
|
\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\) |
|
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\) |
|
\(W = {F}{d}\) |
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: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
capillaries |
|
arterioles |
|
veins |
|
plasma |
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.
