1

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

66% Answer Correctly

first law of motion

universal gravitation

second law of motion

third law of motion


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

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

63% Answer Correctly

stratus

cumulus

cumulonimbus

cirrus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


3

Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?

49% Answer Correctly

atom

element

molecule

compound


Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.


4

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

65% Answer Correctly

period

group

atomic number

family


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


5

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

pulmonary

capillary

atrial

aorta


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
