Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?
mass is the amount of matter something has |
|
weight depends on the location where it is measured |
|
mass depends on the location where it is measured |
|
weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?
ion |
|
acid |
|
base |
|
hydrogen |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?
large intestine |
|
small intestine |
|
stomach |
|
esophagus |
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
Work is measured in:
watts |
|
joules or newton-meters |
|
horsepower |
|
amps |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
A __________ is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound.
neutron |
|
ion |
|
molecule |
|
isotope |
A molecule is the smallest multi-atom particle of an element or compound that can exist and still retain the characteristics of the element or compound. The molecules of elements consist of two or more similar atoms, the molecules of compounds consist of two or more different atoms.
