Which of Earth's layers has weather?
thermosphere |
|
stratosphere |
|
mesosphere |
|
troposphere |
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
none of these |
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.
Menstruation occurs when:
the ovum becomes fertilized |
|
the zygote is formed |
|
the fetus is formed |
|
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 states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?
liquid |
|
solid |
|
gas |
|
none of these |
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:
similarly complex |
|
less complex |
|
more complex |
|
none of these |
Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
