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

60% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

none of these


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.


2

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

none of these

liquid

solid

gas


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


3

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

53% Answer Correctly

trachea

epiglottis

pharynx

nasal cavity


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.


4

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of __________ animals, including humans.

85% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

sentient

spiny

arthropod


Solution

An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.


5

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

all-altitude

low-altitude

mid-altitude

high-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
