Which of these is not a recognized blood type?

90% Answer Correctly

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.


2

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

61% Answer Correctly

gaseous methane, ammonia, and water

rock

minerals

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

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.


4

Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

27

41

-23

37


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


5

The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?

63% Answer Correctly

in the Kuiper Belt

in the asteroid belt

outside the solar system

between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn


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.
