1

The Rh factor antigen in blood determines:

58% Answer Correctly

postive or negative

universal recipient status

universal donor status

blood type


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


2

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Which of the following is formed by the gradual depositing of small rocks?

73% Answer Correctly

metamorphic

sedimentary

igneous

granite


Solution

The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.


3

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

68% Answer Correctly

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

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

none of these

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


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  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


4

A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

neutron

isotope

electron

proton


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


5

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

proton

neutron

atom

electron


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
