1

A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries no electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

proton

neutron

electron

atom


Solution

A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.


2

Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?

62% Answer Correctly

right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle

left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle


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.


3

Vector quantities are fully described by which of the following?

75% Answer Correctly

a magnitude only

a magnitude and a direction

a direction and a polarity

a direction only


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


4

Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?

56% Answer Correctly

terrestrial

oceanic

metamorphic

sedimentary


Solution

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.


5

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 kL

1 ML

1 cL

1 mL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
