"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?

64% Answer Correctly

second

first

third

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.


2

In a eukaryotic cell, which organelles deal with proteins?

62% Answer Correctly

Golgi apparatus

endoplasmic reticulum

ribosomes

all of these deal with proteins


Solution

The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by cytoplasm which contains many organelles. Ribosomes produce proteins, endoplasmic reticulum helps synthesize proteins and fats, and Golgi apparatus prepares proteins for use.


3

A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with:

74% Answer Correctly

a recessive trait

a dominant trait

a chromosome

a gene


Solution

The traits represented by genes are inherited independently of each other  (one from the male and one from the female gamete) and a trait can be dominant or recessive.  A dominant trait will be expressed when paired with a recessive trait while two copies of a recessive trait (one from each parent) must be present for the recessive trait to be expressed.


4

In the metric system, what prefix represents 10-3?

62% Answer Correctly

mega

centi

milli

kilo


Solution

In the metric system, milli is the prefix for 10-3.


5
