1

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

66% Answer Correctly

universal gravitation

first law of motion

second law of motion

third law of motion


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.


2

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gel

solid

gas

liquid


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.


3

What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?

70% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

cerebellum

brainstem

medulla


Solution

The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.


4

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

capillary

pulmonary

aorta

atrial


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


5

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

nasal cavity

pharynx

trachea

epiglottis


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
