1

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


2

A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

proton

electron

neutron

isotope


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.


3

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

86% Answer Correctly

vertebrate

arthropod

spiny

sentient


Solution

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


4

Menstruation occurs when:

78% Answer Correctly

the ovum becomes fertilized

the ovum fails to become fertilized

the fetus is formed 

the zygote is formed


Solution

If the ovum fails to become fertilized, the lining of the uterus sloughs off during menstruation. From puberty to menopause, this cycle of menstruation repeats monthly (except during pregnancy).


5

An electrically charged atom is a(n):

49% Answer Correctly

ion

neutron

proton

electron


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
