1

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

side effects

products

reactants

results


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


2

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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 not a characteristic of the Sun?

52% Answer Correctly

formed 2.6 billion years ago

makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system

is a yellow dwarf star

is composed of hydrogen and helium


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.


4

Secondary consumers that also eat producers are known as:

62% Answer Correctly

scavengers

omnivores

carnivores

herbivores


Solution

Secondary consumers (carnivores) subsist mainly on primary consumers. Omnivores are secondary consumers that also eat producers. Examples are rats, fish, and chickens.


5

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one __________ to another.

81% Answer Correctly

family

generation

species

cell


Solution

Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.
