1

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

54% Answer Correctly

pharynx

nasal cavity

trachea

epiglottis


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.

B

O

AB

AO

4

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = {\vec{w} \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

\(P = w t\)


Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).


5

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

63% Answer Correctly

cumulus

stratus

cirrus

cumulonimbus


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.
