Question 9 1 / 1 pts In quantitative measure, it is important to include what with the number/value of measurement?orrect!

The Unit of Measurement The Definition of Measurement The Time of Measurement The Location of measurement When listing measures, it is important to include a unit. This defines what is being measured, such as volume, mass, etc.

Question 10 Which of the following is not a unit of temperature? KelvinCorrect! Ounce Celsius Fahrenheit Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit are all units of temperature. Ounce is a unit of weight and/or volume

Question 1 Physics helps individuals understand: Measurementorrect! How things move and interact Time and Space Temperature Physics is the study of how things interact and their motions/forces. Performance of everyday activities depends on the forces and the impact on the object/individual. The study of time and space is quantum mechanics. The student of measurements is metrology.

Question 2 If an individual throws an object onto a steep road, resistance will adjust the speed of the object. This is known as: Volumeorrect! Friction Weight Path Pattern Friction is the force that one surface exerts on another due to the roughness of the surface. In this case, the steep road acts as friction to change the speed of the object. The roughness of the road changes the friction, which changes the object’s speed.

Question 3 Imagine you are driving down the road, and all of a sudden, an object appears in the road. To avoid hitting the object, you press the breaks on the car. This applies a force,

the velocity decreases, and the car stops. This activity of velocity change is known as what? Newton’s Third Law Newton’s Fourth Laworrect! Newton’s Second Law Newton’s First Law Newton’s Second Law is the Law of Acceleration. It states that when a force acts on a body, the body accelerates or changes velocity. In addition, a force can act on a body to slow the velocity or acceleration. When, the break is pressed this changes the acceleration of the vehicle (the object).

Question 4 1 / 1 pts A person swinging a baseball bat during a game acts a vector causing an object (the baseball) to move or change it’s motion. This is an example of what?orrect! A force A change A gravitational pull A resistance A force is an example of a vector quantity, which has magnitude and direction. This vector quantity causes an object to move or change their motion. In this case, the baseball bat acts as force to change the baseball’s direction or speed.

Question 5 Which of the following is an example of a lever? [Select all that apply] Stapler Tweezers Nut Cracker Mousetrap A lever is a bar or rod arranged to permit rotation about an axis (fulcrum). Levers can enable an object to be moved over long distances with minimal effort. All of the choices are considered levers.

Question 6 Machines are common in modern healthcare. For instance, consider a patient requiring a wheelchair and needing to use a ramp to enter a building. The ramp can act a simple machine and must be constructed to allow for ease of use and movement. This ease of use and movement provides what? Working advantage Physics advantage Motion advantageorrect! Mechanical advantage

Machines are devices designed to specifically make work easier and more efficient. This can be done by changing direction of the force, position of the force, and/or transformation of the force. Changing this force to make it easier is known as the mechanical advantage. A wheelchair ramp is an incline plane machine and provides a mechanical advantage with movement in a wheelchair.

Question 7 A wheelchair ramp length is 20 ft; the ramp height is 5 ft; and the effort to push the chair is 40 lbs. Using the mechanical advantage formula, what is the person’s weight? You Answered 230 lbs 160 lbs 180 lbs 300 lbs The equation for the mechanical advantage is the effort multiplied by the ramp length should equal the weight of the person multiplied by the height of the ramp (effort x ramp length= persons weight x ramp height). For this scenario, the equation would be effort (40 lbs) x ramp length (20 ft) = persons weight (x) x ramp height (5ft). Solving for x, the persons weight is 160 lbs.

Question 8 A quantity that has only magnitude (size) but no direction such as mass is known as: Vectororrect! Scalar Angular BMI A Quantity with magnitude but no direction is defined as scalar quantity.

Question 9 BMI is calculated using what individual measurements? Weight and Mass Height and Massrrect! Height and Weight Weight and Volume BMI is calculated using a person’s height and weight.
