1

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

59% Answer Correctly

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


2

Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?

51% Answer Correctly

O-negative

O-positive

AB

O


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.


3

Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the longest time period? 

67% Answer Correctly

age

eon

epoch

era


Solution

The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.


4

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

none of these

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


5

Which of the following is not a base unit in the metric system?

88% Answer Correctly

meter

liter

gram

degree Fahrenheit


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale is used for measuring temperature in the British system. The metric system uses the Celsius scale.
