1

A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment is known as:

79% Answer Correctly

community

biome

population

ecosystem


Solution

An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. This includes both the biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living).


2

The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{a} = \vec{F} m\)

\(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over F }\)

\(\vec{a} = { m \over \vec{F} }\)


Solution

Newton's second law of motion leads to the formula for acceleration which is a measure of the rate of change of velocity per unit time and, if you solve for positive acceleration, reveals how much net force is needed to overcome an object's mass.  The formula for acceleration is  \(\vec{a} = { \vec{F} \over m }\) or, solving for force,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


3

Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?

71% Answer Correctly

solid

liquid

none of these

gas


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


4

When light travels between two substances it bends. This is called:

74% Answer Correctly

conduction

convection

refraction

reflection


Solution

Because different materials have different refractive indices, light changes speed when passing from one material to another. This causes the light to bend (refraction) at an angle that depends on the change in refractive index between the materials. The greater the difference, the higher the angle of refraction.


5

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

73% Answer Correctly

primary consumers

tertiary consumers

secondary consumers

scavengers


Solution

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