1

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

86% Answer Correctly

gas

gel

liquid

solid


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.


2

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


3

In the metric system, what prefix represents 103?

61% Answer Correctly

kilo

milli

centi

mega


Solution

Kilo is the metric system prefix for 103.


4

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

58% Answer Correctly

universal donor status

postive or negative

blood type

universal recipient status


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


5
