75% Answer Correctly

a food chain

a population

a biome

a community


Solution

A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).


2

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)


Solution

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  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


3

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

velocity

acceleration

momentum

mass


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?

49% Answer Correctly

compound

element

molecule

atom


Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.


5

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

atria

valves

ventricles

aorta


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
