1

Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.

73% Answer Correctly

secondary consumers

scavengers

tertiary consumers

primary consumers


Solution

Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus.  Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.


2

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

pharynx

trachea

nasal cavity

epiglottis


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.


3

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

power

work

a force

kinetic energy


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.


4

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

68% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

none of these


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

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

0

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)
