In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

archaea

bacteria

animalia

eukaryota


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.


2

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = w t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


3

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


4

Which of the following is not a terrestrial planet?

69% Answer Correctly

Earth

Jupiter

Mercury

Venus


Solution

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.
