1

Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.

68% Answer Correctly

cooler, warmer

dense, empty

empty, dense

warmer, cooler


Solution

Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.


2

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

58% Answer Correctly

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


3

What part of the brain is responsible for the major senses (thinking, hearing, seeing)?

65% Answer Correctly

cerebrum

cerebellum

medulla

brainstem


Solution

The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).


4

Which of the following is not one of the outer planets?

71% Answer Correctly

Venus

Uranus

Neptune

Jupiter


Solution

In contrast to the solid terrestrial planets, the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) consist of hydrogen and helium gas and water.


5

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

pulmonary

capillary

aorta

atrial


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.
