Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

60% Answer Correctly

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

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

none of these

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


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.


2

What kind of weather front is likely to create clouds and storms?

58% Answer Correctly

temperate front

warm front

stationary front

cold front 


Solution

A warm front is the boundary between warm and cool (or cold) air when the warm air is replacing the cold air. Warm air at the surface pushes above the cool air mass creating clouds and storms.


3

Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?

51% Answer Correctly

O

AB

O-negative

O-positive


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.


4

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

55% Answer Correctly

solid

primarily solid

primarily liquid

liquid


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.


5

The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down proteins

breaks down starches

processes the physical waste produced by digestion

breaks down fats


Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.
