1

Examples of secondary consumers include:

52% Answer Correctly

grasshoppers

wolves

chickens

plankton


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


2

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


3

Absolute zero is which of the following?

58% Answer Correctly

0°C

the freezing point of hydrogen

the freezing point of oxygen

the coldest temperature possible in the universe


Solution

In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.


4

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 4 is:

71% Answer Correctly

neutral

basic

alkaline

acidic


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.


5

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

kinetic energy

a force

work

power


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
