"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

73% Answer Correctly

first

fourth

third

second


Solution

Also known as the law of inertia, Newton's first law of motion states that An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.


2

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

72% Answer Correctly

work

power

a force

kinetic energy


Solution

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


3

The number system most used in science is the:

94% Answer Correctly

English system

American system

British 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.


4

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

all of these deal with proteins

Golgi apparatus

ribosomes

endoplasmic reticulum


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.


5

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

65% Answer Correctly

first

fourth

second

third


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.
