1

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

65% Answer Correctly

second law of motion

third law of motion

universal gravitation

first law of motion


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.


2

Respiration is the process by which __________ absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

62% Answer Correctly

blood cells

diaphragms

capillaries

bronchioles


Solution

The respiratory system manages respiration which is the process by which blood cells absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.


3

In cell biology, the primary difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration is that aerobic respiration requires:

71% Answer Correctly

water

mitochondria

sugar

oxygen


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


4

Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

asteroids have a coma

comets have an atmosphere

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids contain frozen water


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


5

Water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee are all examples of which of the following? 

66% Answer Correctly

reflection

convection

radiation

conduction


Solution

Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.
