1

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


2

Which of these is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods?

49% Answer Correctly

element

atom

compound

molecule


Solution

An element is matter than cannot be separated into different types of matter by ordinary chemical methods.


3

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

88% Answer Correctly

carbohydrates

fiber

fats

protein


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.


4

Someone who has Rh-factor __________ blood cannot receive blood with a __________ type.

57% Answer Correctly

positive, negative

negative, positive

antigen, negative

positive, antigen


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


5

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

oxygenated, high

deoxygenated, high

oxygenated, low

deoxygenated, low


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
