The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).

3

Which of the following is a decomposer?

89% Answer Correctly

mosquito

pine tree

fungi

ferret


Solution

Decomposers (saprotrophs) are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients.


4

86% Answer Correctly

scavengers

decomposers

producers

primary consumers


Solution

Decomposers (saprotrophs) are organisms such as bacteria and fungi that break down the organic matter in the dead bodies of plants and animals into simple nutrients.

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

16

-32

32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
