Which of the following describes the Earth's outer core?

45% Answer Correctly

liquid

makes up most of the Earth's volume

solid

primarily solid


Solution

The Earth's core is divided into the liquid outer core (1,430 miles or 2,300 km radius) and the solid inner core (745 miles or 1,200 km radius).


2

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

archaea

eukaryota

bacteria

animalia


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


3

The connective tissue that connects bones to other bones at joints is called:

70% Answer Correctly

ligaments

knuckles

cartilage

tendons


Solution

Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).


4

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

64% Answer Correctly

first

second

fourth

third


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.


5

Velocity and displacement are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  Velocity and displacement are which of the following?

69% Answer Correctly

combinational quantities

vector quantities

composite quantities

scalar quantities


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)
