The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

65% Answer Correctly

third law of motion

second law of motion

first law of motion

universal gravitation


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.


2

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

arterioles

capillaries

aorta

veins


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


3

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

white blood cells

platelets

plasma


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


4

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

kinetic

potential

transitional

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


5

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

reflection

conduction

refraction

convection


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.
