75% Answer Correctly

watts

amps

joules or newton-meters

horsepower

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


3

Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?

55% Answer Correctly

acid

solution

alkaline

base


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.


4

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

53% Answer Correctly

small intestine

large intestine

esophagus

Solution

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


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

plasma

gas


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.
