1

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

horsepower

watts

amps

joules or newton-meters


Solution

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


2

54% Answer Correctly

platelets

plasma

red

white


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.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the Sun?

52% Answer Correctly

is composed of hydrogen and helium

makes up over 99% of the mass of the solar system

formed 2.6 billion years ago

is a yellow dwarf star


Solution

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) but is informally known as a yellow dwarf star. Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.

When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:

29% Answer Correctly

ice

snow

snow or ice

rain


Solution

Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
