1

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


2

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

66% Answer Correctly

medulla

brainstem

cerebellum

cerebrum


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


3

In fermentation, what replaces oxygen in anaerobic respiration?

64% Answer Correctly

lactic acid or alcohol

ascorbic acid or peptides

starches

water


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


4

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a kingdom?

63% Answer Correctly

animals

plants

bacteria

fungi


Solution

Below domain, life is classified into six kingdoms: plants, animals, archaebacteria, eubacteria, and fungi. The last kingdom, protists, include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, animals, plants or fungi.  (Archaebacteria and eubacteria are sometimes combined into a single kingdom, monera.)


5

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

hot

dense

all of these

makes up most of Earth's volume


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
