1

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

sublimation

phase transition

heating

cooling


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.


2

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Which of these is the formula for acceleration?

59% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = { t \over \Delta \vec{v} }\)

\(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)

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

\(\vec{a} = \Delta \vec{v} t \)


Solution

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. In physics, the delta symbol (\(\Delta\)) represents change so the formula for acceleration becomes  \(\vec{a} = { \Delta \vec{v} \over t }\)


3

The small intestine utilizes enzymes produced where?

65% Answer Correctly

all of these are correct

pancreas

liver

small intestine


Solution

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place. As food travels along the small intestine it gets broken down completely by enzymes secreted from the walls. These enzymes are produced in the small intestine as well as in the pancreas and liver. After the enzymes break down the food, the resulting substances are then absorbed into the blood via capillaries in the small intestine walls.


4

Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight depends on the location where it is measured

mass is the amount of matter something has


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.


5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

interphase

megaphase

cytokinesis

anaphase


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
