1

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This describes which of Newton's laws of motion?

69% Answer Correctly

fourth

second

first

third


Solution

Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.


2

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


3

Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:

69% Answer Correctly

macronutrients

micronutrients

carbohydrates

proteins


Solution

Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.


4

Which of blood component carries oxygen?

83% Answer Correctly

white blood cells

red blood cells

platelets

plasma


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.


5

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

57% 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.
