59% Answer Correctly

Jupiter and Saturn

Mars and Earth

2

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

59% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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

Which of the following is the narrowest classification of life?

71% Answer Correctly

domain

family

species

genus


Solution

The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.


4

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

41

27

-23

37


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


5

Which of these is not a type of fat?

76% Answer Correctly

monounsaturated

saturated

cholesterol

polyunsaturated


Solution

Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils).
