1

An air mass is a large body of air that has which of the following characteristics?

86% Answer Correctly

similar temperature

similar density

similar moisture

all of these


Solution

An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.


2

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:

46% Answer Correctly

valves

atria

aorta

ventricles


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.


3

Regulation of heart rhythm occurs in:

61% Answer Correctly

medulla

nerves

cerebrum

cerebellum


Solution

Part of the brainstem, the medulla is the connection between the brain and the spinal cord. It controls involuntary actions like breathing, swallowing, and heartbeat.


4

Which of these foods should a person with high cholesterol avoid?

61% Answer Correctly

vegetable oils

olive oil

avocados

eggs


Solution

Fats come in three types, saturated (meats, shellfish, eggs, milk), monounsaturated (olives, almonds, avocados), and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils). Saturated fats can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol while unsaturated fats can decrease it.


5

Which of the following is the formula for work?

47% Answer Correctly

\(W = {{F}\over{d}}\)

\(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)

\(W = {\vec{F} \over \vec{d} }\)

\(W = {F}{d}\)


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meter (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
