1

The energy posessed by a ball on the window ledge of a tall building is an example of what kind of energy?

66% Answer Correctly

potential

inherent

kinetic

gravitational


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

red blood cells

platelets

plasma

white blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.

"The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

64% Answer Correctly

first

third

second

fourth


Solution

Newton's second law of motion states that The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This law basically means that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to overcome its inertia.


4

Generally, an atom has __________ negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.

67% Answer Correctly

fewer

double the number of

more

equal numbers of


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.
