1

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

fourth

third

first

second
Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.

2

Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

gametes

ovum

sperm

diploids
Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.

3

Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?

58% Answer Correctly

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere

stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere

mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere
Solution

The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.

4

__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.

65% Answer Correctly

iron, calcium

calcium, vitamin A

vitamin D, magnesium

vitamin D, calcium
Solution

Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.

5

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

61% Answer Correctly

none of these

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)
Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
