85% Answer Correctly

electricity

3

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

57% Answer Correctly

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

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s 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.


4

Plant cells are surrounded by:

63% Answer Correctly

a cell membrane and a cell wall

only a cell wall

only a cell membrane

neither a cell membrane nor a cell wall


Solution

Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.


5

Which of the following describes the Earth's mantle?

81% Answer Correctly

dense

all of these

hot

makes up most of Earth's volume


Solution

Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
