Menstruation occurs when:

77% Answer Correctly

the ovum becomes fertilized

the zygote is formed

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the fetus is formed

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

61% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

none of these

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.


3

What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?

72% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

producers

decomposers

secondary consumers


Solution

Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
