Which of the following is the primary difference between a comet and an asteroid?

46% Answer Correctly

asteroids have a coma

comets orbit the Sun

asteroids contain frozen water

comets have an atmosphere


Solution

A comet is a loose collection of ice, dust, and small rocky particles that, in contrast to an asteroid, has an extended atmosphere surrounding the center. When passing close to the Sun, this atmosphere warms and begins to release gases forming a visible coma or tail.


3

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

-32

0

32

16


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)

 


4

Arteries carry __________ blood at __________ pressure.

65% Answer Correctly

deoxygenated, high

deoxygenated, low

oxygenated, low

oxygenated, high


Solution

Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.


5

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

kinetic

potential

gravitational

transitional


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
