1

Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. 

63% Answer Correctly

mid-altitude

low-altitude

all-altitude

high-altitude


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.


2

The asteroids in the Kuiper belt are composed of which of the following?

61% Answer Correctly

minerals

rock

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

frozen methane, ammonia, and water


Solution

The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.


3

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

68% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

none of these


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  \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \) 


4

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the __________ to help break down protein.

77% Answer Correctly

small intestine

mouth

stomach

large intestine


Solution

Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.


5

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume and shape.

86% Answer Correctly

gel

liquid

solid

gas


Solution

An element in a solid state has atoms or molecules that are constricted and do not move freely. Solids maintain a constant volume and shape and exist at a lower temperature than liquids or gases.
