1

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, atomic number is equal to which of the following?

63% Answer Correctly

number of neutrons in the nucleus

number of protons + neutrons in the nucleus

number of electrons orbiting the nucleus

number of protons in the nucleus


Solution

The Periodic Table of the Elements categorizes elements primarily by the number of protons in their nucleus (atomic number) and secondarily by the characteristics they exhibit.


2

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

fair

hot

stormy

freezing


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


3

Which of these is important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair?

88% Answer Correctly

protein

carbohydrates

fats

fiber


Solution

Found in both animal sources (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and vegetables (beans, nuts, some grains), proteins are important for the body's maintenance, growth, and repair.


4

Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?

68% Answer Correctly

gas

liquid

solid

none of these


Solution

Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.


5

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

60% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

none of these

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)


Solution

Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity:  \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\).  Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
