1

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

none of these

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


2

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes:

82% Answer Correctly

recessive alleles

phenotypes

both dominant and recessive alleles

dominant alleles


Solution

A person's genotype is their genetic makeup and includes both dominant and recessive alleles. Phenotype is how the genes express themselves in physical characteristics.


3

What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?

54% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebrum

autonomic

spinal cord


Solution

The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.


4

60% Answer Correctly

6

3

dozens

5


Solution

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

A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

electron

neutron

proton

isotope


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.
