Menstruation occurs when:
the zygote is formed |
|
the fetus is formed |
|
the ovum becomes fertilized |
|
the ovum fails to become fertilized |
If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).
Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?
0°C |
|
273K |
|
0°F |
|
32°F |
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed when existing rock is altered through pressure, temperature, or chemical processes?
sedimentary |
|
metamorphic |
|
coal |
|
igneous |
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.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\) |
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
