1

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

65% Answer Correctly

universal gravitation

first law of motion

third law of motion

second 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

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

power

kinetic energy

work

a force


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


3

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

more

equal numbers of

fewer

double the number of


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


4

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

67% Answer Correctly

alkaline

acidic

water

neutral


Solution

An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.


5

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

brainstem

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
