The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

65% Answer Correctly

universal gravitation

third law of motion

first law of motion

second law of motion


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.

In the water cycle, infiltration is most closely related to:

41% Answer Correctly

oceans

rivers

water table

runoff


Solution

The water then accumulates as runoff and eventually returns to bodies of water or is absorbed into the Earth (infiltration) and becomes part of the water table, an underground resevoir of fresh water.


3

The pitch of the siren of an approaching ambulance changes as it approaches you. This is an example of which of the following?

70% Answer Correctly

refraction

Doppler effect

reflection

sound radiation


Solution

The Doppler effect occurs when the source or listener (or both) of sound waves is moving. If they're moving closer together, the listener perceives the sound with a higher pitch and, when they're moving apart, the listener perceives the sound with a lower pitch.


4

Elements in the Periodic Table of the Elements are ordered by which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

atomic weight

number of electron shells

atomic number

atomic mass


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


5

In cell biology, cytokinesis results in two separate:

57% Answer Correctly

nuclei

chromatids

cells

chromosomes


Solution

During cell division, the cytokinesis phase occurs when cytoplasm and cell membranes complete their separation resulting in two separate cells.
