1

Which of the following is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

74% Answer Correctly

molecule

neutron

element

atom


Solution

An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.


2

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

momentum

acceleration

velocity

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:  \(\vec{v}\)


3

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

68% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

none of these


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  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


4

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

large intestine

stomach

small intestine

esophagus


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


5

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

potential

transitional

gravitational

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
