Review

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?

67% Answer Correctly

	\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
	none of these
	\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)
	\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

	double the number of
	fewer
	equal numbers of
	more

Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?

53% Answer Correctly

	stomach
	esophagus
