Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

61% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)

none of these


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.

42% Answer Correctly

central

somatic

peripheral

autonomic


Solution

The nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerve cells (neurons) that collect and distribute signals from the central nervous system throughout the body.


4

DNA is encoded through a combination of which of the following?

47% Answer Correctly

gametes

genes

helix

nucleotides


Solution

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that contains genetic information. DNA is encoded through a combination of nucleotides that bind together in a specific double helix pattern.


5

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

mesosphere

thermosphere

troposphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
