Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?
\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\) |
|
\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\) |
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 \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)
In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum |
|
ribosomes |
|
all of these deal with proteins |
|
Golgi apparatus |
The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.
What is the body's largest artery?
aorta |
|
arteriole |
|
capillary |
|
vena cava |
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.
Which of the following is the formula for work?
\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\) |
|
\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\) |
|
\(W = {F}{d}\) |
|
\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\) |
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: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
A transition zone between two air masses is called:
front |
|
boundary |
|
fog |
|
thunderstorm |
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
