1

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

68% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

none of these


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  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


2

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

16

0

32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


3

The most diverse kindgom of life is which of the following?

45% Answer Correctly

plants

protists

animals

fungi


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


4

Small rocks shed by asteroids and comets that reach the earth are called:

61% Answer Correctly

meteors

meteorites

meteoroids

shooting stars


Solution

Smaller rocks shed by asteroids and comets are called meteoroids. When these rocks reach Earth's atmosphere, they burn up in the mesosphere and become meteors. If a meteor manages to reach the Earth, it is called a meteorite.


5

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

mass

momentum

velocity

acceleration


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
