The formula for acceleration is which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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,  \(\vec{F} = m\vec{a}\).


2

The __________ nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.

58% Answer Correctly

somatic

autonomic

peripheral

central


Solution

Part of the peripheral nervous system, the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.


3

Antigens are found on the outside of which blood cells?

54% Answer Correctly

platelets

white

red

plasma


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


4

In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.

64% Answer Correctly

right, right

left, right

right, left

left, left


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


5

Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

nervous

digestion

respiration

circulation


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
