2

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

positive, negative

antigen, negative

negative, positive

positive, antigen


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


3

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

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

none of these

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

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


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.


4

A major difference between sound waves and light waves is which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

a sound wave is much slower than a light wave

all of these are correct

a sound wave is mechanical while a light wave is electromagnetic

a sound wave cannot travel through a vacuum


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


5

69% Answer Correctly
