1

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

48% Answer Correctly

chemical

molecular

ionic

covalent


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


2

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

none of these

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

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

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


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.


3

In which type of compound are electrons shared between atoms?

56% Answer Correctly

ionic

covalent

molecular

chemical

4

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

84% Answer Correctly

transport oxygen

deoxygenate blood

add carbon dioxide

transport nutrients


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


5

In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.

64% Answer Correctly

right, left

left, right

left, left

right, right


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
