Which of the following is not true about mass and weight?

55% Answer Correctly

mass is the amount of matter something has

mass depends on the location where it is measured

weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity

weight depends on the location where it is measured


Solution

Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity.  So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.


2

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:

48% Answer Correctly

capillaries

plasma

veins

arterioles


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


3

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

50% Answer Correctly

32°F

0°C

0°F

273K


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.


4

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

acceleration

momentum

mass

velocity


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:  \(\vec{v}\)

element

atom


Solution
