HESI QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2024/2024
Newton's First Law – Answer An object at rest will stay at rest, an object that is moving will stay moving
unless disturbed by an unbalanced force. It takes a force to move an object or change its direction of
motion. (Involves inertia)
Newton's Second Law – Answer The "force exerted on an object equals its mass times the acceleration
produced"(F=ma) is a description of:
Newton's Third Law – Answer It states that when an object applies a force to a second object, that
second object applies an opposite and equal force to the first object. For every action there is an equal
and opposite reaction.
Noun Clause – Answer A sentence part that contains a subject and a verb that functions as a noun. This
kind of clause can be the subject of the sentence, or it can receive the action of the verb
i.e. Where have the patient's charts gone is anyone's guess
The noun clause functions as the subject
Nucleus – Answer This is responsible for the activities of a cell regarding DNA, including that
transcription of DNA mRNA. It has its own membrane, which allows for the passage of materials and
proteins needed for DNA replication.
Ohm's Law – Answer The relationship of voltage, current, and resistance. V= IR
Osmosis – Answer Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
p(momentum)= m*v – Answer How would you calculate momentum?
P= (force * Displacement)/Time – Answer How would you calculate the power of an object?
, P=IV – Answer Besides P= W/t, what other formula can you use to calculate power?
Parallel – Answer What type of circuit is this?
Participle Phrase – Answer A part of a sentence that contains a verb and a participle. When it introduces
and modifies a sentence, it's separated from the rest of a sentence by a comma.
i.e. Pleased by the doctor's complimentary words, the nurse smiled.
Passive Transport – Answer Requires NO energy, Movement of molecules from high to low
concentration, Moves with the concentration gradient
PE=m*g*h – Answer How do you calculate potential energy?
Perpendicular lines – Answer Lines that cross each other at a 90 degree angle are called?
Phrases – Answer A sentence that lacks a subject and a verb.
For example:
from that night
among the girls
around the bush
Potential Energy – Answer Energy that is stored within an object for later release.
i.e. A book held in the air above a surface is considered to have it (the energy that would be released
when it is dropped).
Power – Answer The amount of work done in a certain time. Its unit is a Watt.
Predicate – Answer The part of the sentence that contains the action word (verb) that tells us what the
subject is or does
