1

Which of blood component allows blood to clot?

74% Answer Correctly

platelets

plasma

white blood cells

red 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.


2

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

65% Answer Correctly

universal gravitation

second law of motion

third law of motion

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.


3

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

velocity

mass

acceleration

momentum


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

work

kinetic energy

a force

power


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


5

In the classification of life, bacteria, archaea and eukaryota are which of the following?

62% Answer Correctly

domains

species

kingdoms

classes


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
