Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

O

B

AB

AO


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


3

"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?

65% Answer Correctly

third

second

first

fourth


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.


4

Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following? 

66% Answer Correctly

convection

reflection

conduction

radiation


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.


5

Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct nearsightedness?

57% Answer Correctly

convex mirror

concave lens

convex lens

concave mirror


Solution

Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
