1

Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?

68% Answer Correctly

liquid

gas

solid

none of these


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


2

The formula  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) applies to which of Newton's laws?

65% Answer Correctly

third law of motion

second law of motion

universal gravitation

first law of motion


Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation defines gravity: All objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other. Expressed as a formula:  \(\vec{F_{g}} = { Gm_{1}m_{2} \over r^2}\) where r is the distance between the two objects and G is the gravitational constant with a value of 6.67 x 10-11.


3

The ozone layer is in which of Earth's atmospheric layers?

66% Answer Correctly

thermosphere

troposphere

mesosphere

stratosphere


Solution

The stratosphere is just above the troposphere and is stratified in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to Earth. This increase in temperature is a result of absorption of the Sun's radiation by the ozone layer.


4

Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

reactants

fuel

products

components


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


5

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

D

E

S

G


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.
