Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

60% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)

none of these

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)


Solution

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.


2

Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?

64% Answer Correctly

none of these are correct

zygote → ovum → fetus

ovum → fetus → zygote

ovum → zygote → fetus


Solution

During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.


3

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

none of these

gas


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 ML

1 cL

1 mL

1 kL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
