63% Answer Correctly

mid-altitude

low-altitude

all-altitude

high-altitude

3

Sound travels fastest through which of the following media?

49% Answer Correctly

water

metal

vacuum

air


Solution

The speed of a sound wave will vary with the medium.  Sound travels fastest through media that has particles that are very close together, like metal. Thus, it travels faster through water than through air and doesn't travel at all through a vacuum (there are no particles in empty space to vibrate).


4

Which of the following represents the largest value?

61% Answer Correctly

1 ML

1 cL

1 mL

1 kL


Solution

Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.


5

During the water cycle, water enters the atmosphere as a gas through which process?

26% Answer Correctly

evaporation

precipitation

both evaporation and transpiration

transpiration


Solution

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the movement of water from Earth through the atmosphere and back to Earth. The cycle starts when water evaporates into a gas from bodies of water like rivers, lakes and oceans or transpirates from the leaves of plants.
