1

Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?

49% Answer Correctly

element

molecule

compound

atom


Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.


2

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {F}{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


Solution

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


3

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

horsepower

watts

amps

joules or newton-meters


Solution

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:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

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

60% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

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.


5

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

domain

family

genus

species


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
