"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?
second |
|
first |
|
fourth |
|
third |
Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.
tertiary consumers |
|
scavengers |
|
secondary consumers |
|
primary consumers |
Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus. Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.
The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the Kuiper Belt |
|
outside the solar system |
|
between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn |
|
in the asteroid belt |
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
Carbohydrates are found in:
vegetable oils |
|
food additives |
|
animal sources |
|
sugars and starches |
Carbohydrates are major sources of energy for the body and are found in sugars (fruit, cane sugar, beets) and starches (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta).
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
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.
