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

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

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

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


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.


2

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

troposphere

mesosphere

stratosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


3

65% Answer Correctly

anemia

4

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

anaphase

cytokinesis

megaphase

interphase


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.


5

The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:

62% Answer Correctly

hydrosphere

geosphere

atmosphere

lithosphere


Solution

The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
