1

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

plasma

platelets

white blood cells

red blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


2

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

67% Answer Correctly

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

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

none of these

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


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  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


3

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


4

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

secondary consumers

decomposers

producers

primary consumers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis


5
