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

66% Answer Correctly

first law of motion

third law of motion

universal gravitation

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

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

fuel

components

reactants

products


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


3

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


4

The number system most used in science is the:

94% Answer Correctly

English system

British system

American system

metric system


Solution

The metric system is a number system that designates one base unit for each type of measurement.  For example, the base unit for length is the meter and the base unit for mass is the gram.


5

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

veins

capillaries

arterioles

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
