1

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

none of these

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

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

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


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


2

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

75% Answer Correctly

a chromosome

a gene

a recessive trait

a dominant trait


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.


3

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

63% Answer Correctly

capillaries

blood cells

diaphragms

bronchioles


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


4

In the food chain, omnivores may be which of the following?

46% Answer Correctly

5

Examples of secondary consumers include:

53% Answer Correctly

wolves
