The rate of vibration of sound is called:

83% Answer Correctly

amplitude

period

volume

frequency


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Which of these is not a component of blood?

81% Answer Correctly

white blood cells

plasma

marrow

red blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.


3

Antigens in the blood determine:

52% Answer Correctly

negative or positive status

Rh factor

blood type

blood oxygen capacity


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.


4

Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

a magnitude only

a direction only

a direction and a polarity

a magnitude and a direction


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

In taxonomy, domains are the broadest classification of life. How many domains are there?

60% Answer Correctly

6

3

5

dozens


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
