1

Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

right atrium

left ventricle

aorta

pulmonary vein


Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.


2

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


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:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


3

Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:

50% Answer Correctly

atomic mass units

electrons

protons

electron shells


Solution

The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number. 


4

Blood is circulated throughout the body via:

37% Answer Correctly

veins

arterioles

aorta

capillaries


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.


5

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
