The first step in the water cycle is:

68% Answer Correctly

3

Which of the following is not a medium for sound waves?

60% Answer Correctly

liquid

solid

vacuum

none of these is a medium for sound waves


Solution

A vibrating object produces a sound wave that travels outwardly from the object through a medium (any liquid or solid matter). The vibration disturbs the particles in the surrounding medium, those particles disturb the particules next to them, and so on, as the sound propagates away from the vibration.


4

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity? 

68% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)

\(\vec{v} = { t \over \vec{d} } \)

none of these

\(\vec{v} = \vec{d}t \)


Solution

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


5

65% Answer Correctly

vitamin D, calcium

iron, calcium

vitamin D, magnesium

calcium, vitamin A


Solution
